Just January 2017 BS

Low energy.

Low expectations.

Above ground good, below bad.

Warm is better than cold but hot is a bitch.

Be safe. Be kind.

Have a good 17' if you can.

I really need to strike it rich so I can sit at home and play with the toys.

Hey Bill, glad you dropped in.

Horror is MS drivers on ice/snow.

Yep. The insane drivers on the interstate... almost always had Madison tags. Scott Co #2.

Had to go into J town today.

I hate cold. Cold & frozen water=

Be safe, be warm.

Pretty dead around here.

Whole week of high 70*s

Enjoy what you got while you got it.

That works for damn near everything & is best not forgotten.

Took the '54 out this afternoon for a supper cruise to a local buffet with 8 gearhead buddies and wives. Isn't it great that us South Mississippi guys can cruise our rides in January? Enjoy it while you can before our next "arctic blast". Steve

No kidding. Those guys up north (particularly Canada) that only get a couple of months road time amaze me.

Saw lots of shorts (some even worth looking at ) out today.

Just got finished putting my radiator back in the truck after rodding it Friday. Take it out for a test run in the AM & check for leaks.

And the extended fake spring continues for a few more days.

Rodding my rad has cured my thermostat "snap" & temps seem to be more consistent.

Have a good week all.

Hope all who pass this way weathered yesterdays storms, particularly those south.

10 days of high 70*s in January= tornadoes somewhere.

Be safe, have a good weekend.
