We had a lot of rain early, but now it's sunny out, and 62F - 10F above the projected high for the day. Windows are open.

My driveway is a deep sea of cold wet snow
When you only get 2-3 good snows a year, those considerations are minor. We're spoiled enough to really enjoy the snow, even when I have to shovel the cliff we call a driveway.

Snow is purty.
depends on what is doing the obstruction!
Heard a story the other day, well, the headline, without much more of a synopsis: MASCARA.....
PSA:don't do anything you have to explain to the EMTs twice...
Sunny here, but only 43F. Too cold to get the Vette out of the garage. Brrrrrrr.
Wisdom to live by.
And just tell the truth, for crying out loud. We're not stupid.
None of us will believe that you were working in the garden at 3AM, naked, and fell on a cucumber.
Well, it was a nice day a few hours ago. On a day off, I was taking a nap. The noise probably would have woken me up, sounds like an army tap dancing on the roof, but the window beside me was open.
Being wet woke me up. Must mean time for a beer....and pizza!

Interview on Monday - God willing, this will be it!!
Sure does. There are other factors, including my desire to poke at Xue Sheng.
The biggest is the tires. They're a street legal race tire. Which means awesome traction. But when it's cold, the rubber stays rock hard. Which means crappy traction.
Below freezing, I don't start it at all. The blower is built to super tight tolerances, and the cold can cause the housing to contract enough to contact the impeller. Which is bad, as it turns the blower into a $5000 boat anchor. And if the broken pieces of impeller enter the engine, I can put a piece of glass over the top and use it as a coffee table...
I will actually drive it when the weather is in the 40F range. It's like driving a normal car on wet roads, so a little caution is required. But I couldn't pass up the Xue poke.
You know what's sad? I didn't make that story up.
