Nasty cold, windy & rainy here all day today. Could be much worse as we've had almost no snow here this Winter. Saw some news on the storm out East... more than 40" in one location. Hope all of your Eastern FTE's are safe and digging out.

Scott, I say it every year..... Don't know why you guys punish yourselves like you do. 
I'm whining like a little puppy with our high 30s mornings and rain every week or so.
Oh the humanity ! ..........

Up here, we welcome a wood fire, lol. On a smaller scale of course.
Just went bombing down the road for a couple miles in the '99 Ranger. About a foot of snow so far, no plows yet at all. And still 30mph gusts. Oughta be a fun 45 mile ride in the morning.

I'm not working on any of my trucks, they're all in winter storage for at least the next three months. I am however working on another project, my '37 Buick. It's in pretty rough shape but I getting some of it done.
These are pictures of the rear left quarter. I cut out a lot of rot and had to reconstruct some pretty complicated pieces:
It helps to have a nice warm shop to work in. Business shop during the day, play room after the work is done for the day.

Bob, it is really getting bad now, lows in the 40's! And predicted to get into the 30's this coming weekend with highs in the 60's. But all is not always wonderful when it gets well over 100 in June, July, August, and September...

I must say that I get more done on my build in the colder months than when it is warm outside. I fire up my Ashley stove, turn on my tv to a 60's or 70's music channel and I could hibernate in my shop all winter. I have no windows in my shop and I don't have a clue whats going on outside other than maybe high winds or heavy rains.
It's hard for me to leave my shop at night when it's in the mid 70's in the shop and the house is actually cooler.

We haven't had many bad winters in recent memory here, but I am tired of the cold damp garage floor. By the time I get the garage warmed up after work, it's time to go inside and be part of the family awhile before bed time.

I suppose you don't even have to have the A/C on to be comfortable -- well at least we don't have to throw ice blocks in the pool to swim in June/July !!
