60+ year old thread.

Welcome to retirement. I need to make a store run today. LOL


After I take my son to school and work out at the gym.

 

Morning all:
3 deg. here at noon.

 

Pretty cold here as well. Was not able to winterize the water feature last month due to knee. Will pay for that later on in the spring.





The aerators are working but the pond is still frozen over.

 

Never got down in the 20's last night but the 15 to 20 mph wind made it bad..

 

Last part reminds me of Chanute AFB, IL Dec 1983 to Jun 1984 for tech school. Formations were not fun; I can still remember that first phone call back home from inside a phone booth that was completely iced over. Good times.

Our dog Bear does that all the time; 3 or 4 times before he decides he can't hold it any longer. Not this week though, crazy warm, 36F partly sunny yesterday afternoon. Shoveled berm the grader left across driveway in my gym shorts. Makes a mess with a few feet of snow scattered about.

Is it just me, or at first glance does that almost look like an old man laying in Tom's pond...bottom of pic where ice is broke and leaves make what could pass for a face?

Something wrong when you're as cold as I am in January.

 

Curious Carl, Firth of Clyde?

When we were stationed in the UK, you could rent transient quarters there on a space available basis. Spent 10 days touring Scotland with the family while staying in those quarters. Up early over coffee one morning heard the sounds of one of those big boomers being escorted out; I remember rousing the family and all of us running down to the shore to watch. Good memory there, hadn't thought of it in a while.

On the temps, since living here I'm ok to about 88F, after that I feel like I'm melting.

 

Rob:
That is where the aerator is located.

 

-9 degrees in Erie PA. Skin actually "hurt" after walking in it for a minute or two.

 

It did here in the FL Panhandle
Burrrrrrrrrr

 

-4 here at our place in northeast PA this morning. With the wind gusts the wind chill was around -30. A balmy +3 right now. Another cold one tonight and then things begin to warm up - 50 by the weekend.


Rob, I think that's Jim enjoying a dip in Tom's water feature!! Those old Navy guys love the water, you know!!

 

evening gents...

was 13* here this morning and had a high of 30*. Brrrr

Stay warm everyone.

 

I think the thermometer is going down for the last time.
4* here and dropping. Winds are picking up too..

 

Here ya go Charlie and whoever else may get a kick out of some exotic cars
These are a few of the cars I get the honor of working on. Yes they are all owned by 2 friends.

 

Here I am at Watkins Glen with the GT6.
This thing was fast and loud. I knew exactly where it was on the track without seeing it.

 

NICE!
Believe it or not, the one that caught my eye is the black one behind the right fender of the GT.
Is that an AMX? If not what it be?

 

HEHEHEHE
My baby.
My fav car in the whole collection.
390 go pack.
cam
2 4bbl
4 speed.
This was a man's car. You had to drive it all the time.
When i pulled up, people moved.
I rebuilt the drive train in this

 

Boy can I pick um!
That's why I enjoy driving my L-72 Impala around. There's something about those red flags on the old "SUPER STOCKER"!

 

Good EYE... Carl.

 

I had a 1970 Mustang Boss 302 Fastback when I got married. Not too many months later, my son came along and the financial pressures of being in college, married with a child meant we had to choose between the Mustang and Lynn's Subaru. Guess which one got sold?


Ugh.


Nice looking stable of cars, Mike!

 

I'd need a drool cup just to walk in that garage...a car to drool over no matter which way you look.

Nice!
