Same here, lots of sun and for once the wind was down but it sounds like showers, flurries are the main course for this weekend`s car show. At least it`s indoors but the vehicles have to get there and back out late Sat evening.

I had my 64 XL at the show 3 yrs ago and was thinking of entering my almost 53 M100 but now I`m glad I didn`t since my car trailer isn`t an enclosed one John. All the vehicles have to be out by mid night Sat and it would be a major bummer driving in home in slush.

This was our last apparent day of any decent weather for awhile, means it'll be hit and miss for rain and snow. When I moved here in May of 02 it snowed and was crappy for 10 days so it could be worse. Bylaw court tomorrow at 2 so it's basically a day off until I get home and have to move the trucks for street cleaning on the 13th. Cats got their free entertainment today by supervising my rebuilding a doorway and resetting the roof line on the sheds.

I'd like to be able to get my panel up on a hoist so I could pressure wash all the crud from last years road construction. I'm going to be facing the same thing again this summer with 60 kilometers of construction again..

You mean dry clean John.
I don`t have a hoist and my back doesn`t take kindly to trips on a creeper.
Showers starting Thursday, Friday and scattered flurries so tomorrow is likely our last decent day.
My cat slept on top of the boat yesterday while watching us work and she was still in the barn on the boat this morning rather than in her cozy cat bed.

I drive mine and don't worry if they get wet or dirty, mind you I wouldn't drive it through the winter months..I built them to enjoy, not save it for someone else..

I am with you John, I would not keep mine in a garage. I would rather be out enjoying the vehicle.

Rather than drive for 15 minutes to the show then 15 minutes back then spend hrs cleaning I`d sooner leave the 53 parked inside. Remember that I`m old, tired, sore and lazy.
