34 going to 62º to day. Much needed rain on the way this weekend. Tractor is ready to dress up the road if that happens.
My new hotrod toy is scheduled to be picked up in St Louis today and elivered on Monday. Getting excited.

29 going all the way up to 34. Freezing rain started last night at 10, turned to snow overnight. 2" accumulation, on top of 1/4" of ice. Never lost power. I can shovel the walks. May just pack down the gravel drive, rather than try and scrape it. Gravel probably not froze. Schools have 2 hour late start today.

Good Morning!!!! 45F @ 6:45AM.
Cloudy skies. High 53F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph.
Picked up another quarter inch of rain yesterday, more on the way tonight and into the weekend.

Some people are never satisfied, Helo. But you don't have to let it effect your attitude.

We're getting some rain, but we can always use more water, Drew. Should I PM you my addy for that gallon? Neither of us will like the price at the post office. By the end of winter I'll have moss growing on the rocks, and even on the concrete.

Still in the research phase of looking for a car. Focused on a Prius for now, but also looking at the economy and the car market. Sounds like interest rates are hitting the market hard, with people backing out of contracts for new cars, and used car prices getting soft. Gonna be a big negative price impact if Carvana goes bankrupt, and they're well on their way. New car dealers are mostly holding firm on prices, and still asking for more than MSRP for popular models. But askin' ain't gittin', and with the dry months of January and February at hand, maybe they'll soften up, too.

In town yesterday, the eye doctor didn't have any news, good or bad. Picked up the cylinder heads the rebuilder sat on for three months, got the rest of the parts needed to do the carb rebuilds, banannas were the only thing on my grocery list, so that was a quick stop, too. Rain started just as I was leaving for home, held off for most of the way, then started sprinkling as I stopped for the mail. Never did really rain, just a light drizzle later when I went back up to the box to pick up a late FedEx delivery. Filled the wood caddy and brought it in, oh boy is that manzanita heavy!

TGIF gang!

Very cool! What motor is in it?

I thought about building one of those, but built this instead. 351W, into a Sunbeam Alpine. Roll cage, 5 speed, Mustang II front end (narrowed), 9 inch diff.

65°F and .77 inches rain. Another moist day ahead?

Likely another day of. Reduced physical productivity - oK that doesn’t sound too bad

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good morning! 40 now. Nice day outside, but I am being lay. Woke up too early. But need to do something.

Louie enjoys the Christmas tree too much. This will be ongoing until the tree comes down







Upstairs bathroom remodel is now officially done. New floor, new tub, new plumbing. Wife is happy. So I am happy!

So had a short nap and a snack, guess I should do something.

Everyone stay safe out there

That looks like fun. I was about that age when my Dad got a little MGB. He let me shift while he drove. That started a love affair with roadsters. The Cobra is a Factory 5 replica with a fuel injected 302. Should be alot of fun. Some other cars I have > The Boxster S and a Mustang GT
