It's Fall ... Winter Projects
It's Fall here now, so I'm making a list of my Winter projects. Don't laugh, I know for most of you these would take an afternoon at best. For me, it will require long periods of careful meditation, followed by a combination of (not necessarily in order) Red Bull, PBR, Copenhagen, and various other confidence-inducing chemicals.

Hope I didn't confuse you further, Jeff

high is 70's here today, forecast says 40's the next 4 days. I think we skipped fall. My winter project is to stay warm.

I'm going to get the headers jet-hot coated. 
Other than that, if it is winter, you will find me in the mountains, on my snowmobiles looking for bottomless powder

On a good year I can usually get the first ride in by Thanksgiving

It has been raining a lot lately. The F-7 is way to big for the garage (assuming that all the crap in the garage was cleaned out). So this weekend, the monster was put in storage. I may get one or two more chances to drive it before winter. It will likely stay there until spring which for us is May or June.John

Fall? Winter? Snow? 
2 more months before we drag out the long pants and long sleeved shirts. Fall is Thanksgiving thru Xmas, then 4-5 weeks of "winter" followed by spring.
I don't DO winter any more!
Once we finish with the holiday rush at work, the order of the day will be to get Gracie road worthy again. I'll be spending many hours in the new garage this winter.
