Sitting back, downing another cup and thinking about my winter time drives around Crater Lake in Oregon.

Used to make the trip over the pass a few times a week. The drive was beautiful and yet, nerve-racking. Most winters, the roadside snow was higher than my mirrors on my Freightliner. Like running down a bobsled run.

I don't miss those trips.

Talk about a warm up. It's 60°F outside. Someone better wake up Old Man Winter because he's slacking.

Nothing winds me up mare than rain in the winter. I have a 3 sleds in the garage just waiting to hit the snow and all I have is slush now. We were off to a good start and then the last 2 storms turned to rain.

At least the coffee tastes good regardless of the outside temp. Gotta finish up this holiday blend coffee.

Sitting in the cab waiting for the 6.0 to warm up after a good 48 hour cold soak. Duste, I feel for you since my family has several k$ in ski equipment gathering dust for a lack of accessible snow.

For once, I'm happy for the brief warm up yesterday. Today it's back down to the mid twenties and the framers had made it this far when we stopped in around 2pm today.

We think alike. I asked the same thing. He claims it will if they heat it up first. This isn't the first time a house was framed in freezing temperatures so I want to believe he's correct. I didn't see what brand it was, but when I was doing framing, we used Liquid Nails.

I hope you're correct. I'll check on Thursday. Liquid Nails suggests keeping the tube warm until using in freezing temperatures. I read another thing that suggested not letting it freeze for at least 24 hours.

Excellent sleuthing skills! I tried to rep you, but my rep gun is jammed still when I point it your way.
I should have realized my phone takes great pictures and I could have blown them up myself.
