It was actually warm here this morning, around 10 degrees at 6:30 when I left the house! I just want to get spring here, so I can get back to work on my 67. Got lots of new toys for Christmas, so I want to get them to work!

Most of what I got was tools. I did get my lift kit and new suspension bushing. Santa brought me a MIG welder, 2 gun paint gun set, and a new set of body hammers/dollys!

Good question, especially since I figured I was on the naughty list last year! The wife went a little crazy for Christmas, but it was great! She didn't do to bad either!

you may not get to use the paint guns. there passing laws about water born paint you have to have a paint booth and all that crap. we all need to fight the lawmakers about it. dont know how soon but paint stores are talking about it.

Not looking forward to tonight. The snow stopped but the winds picked up and only have 14k in the box. Could be an interesting drive

Thanks Lisa. I made it back. Wasn't as bad as I could have been. Roads were clear for the most part with occasional drifts across 1 lane usually.

My arms are tired though, holding the wheel against the wind constantly for 9hrs gets real old.

Hope everyone stays warm today.
