In LA LA Land, it's spring all year 'round, except when it rains.

Note to long suffering "rain soaked" WA residents, especially those that live on the 'rainy side' of the Olympic Peninsula.

Last year, we got less than 4 inches of rain, so far this year the total is 14 inches of rain.

Welcome to California

Well I wish I had some other seasons besides Fire and Rain. I can't really tell the difference between fall, winter, and spring in San Diego. I know I can never go back home during the winter in New York, I think I'd have body parts breaking off from the cold. But I do enjoy the warm sunny days here. Summer is not as much fun in 115 degree weather. But it's a dry heat! LOL

During the winter feel like a mushroom waiting for a 'banana slug' race. Weather has not been an issue for past several months, believe have enough extra sheet metal, and parts to build another truck, and storage is becoming an issue. Also, seems 61-66 vintage trucks becoming rare in salvage yards, when I do come across 1, my heart starts palputating and beside myself like a kid in a candy store. O yeah, life if good with summer coming, can't wait for the auto swap meets. Believe the 'goodguys rod and custom' have a 3 day event scheduled either this weekend or next in Alameda County, Pleasanton, Ca. Have to check, it will depend on who they are sponsoring, like the car show, but primarily attend for the swap meet.
