You know I always get my seasons mixed up.... We just spent 4 days last week wrestling to get
a 5 inch wide Thunderbird fan into our '50 F1 with less than 4 inches of space. Grrrrr... It now runs
great & never sees 200 degrees - Mcgyver would be proud! Just in time for Winter!

Our weather generally breaks around Halloween - ie no more
95 degree days. Cedar season starts in January - Ugghhh.

I put a wood stove in my garage last month, so I'm ready.

I've wanted to do that but not sure how the insurance folks would feel about it. Have a Kni-Co that use camping that would be swell to just pop in the stack when needed. Nothing better than wood heat for some reason.

Winter means I hook the heater hoses back up and keep driving.

Yep, and I am betting that is why we have so much traffic here that it looks like LA 24/7.

Looks like I'll be busy.......one customer project in the shop right now and two more coming in, all of them major metal/bodywork. Plus the COE in there still with the engine out.
Currently trying to get all of the outside stuff done before the snow flies. Was 25 degrees Monday morning........
