    Cold

    Got up to start a fire at 0600 this morning. 15 degrees is pretty cold for South MS.

    I would like to rub in the fact that we always have warm weather over here, but it's been darn cold here too.

    Yo Rod - What do you call darn cold in your neck of the woods. Less than 70 but still above 60 perhaps.

    Just bustin on ya a bit.

    PA has been in the deep freeze seemingly forever. If you want to do something ugly - try waking up my FE after she's been out of the shop in the cold for 3-4 hours. Without chokes the trick is to pump enough prime fuel to get her running up on the primaries as quick as you can. If I'm closing my shop at 3:00AM it's real ugly. It doesn't tend to leave the neighbors with a warm and endearing feeling toward you.

    Too warm to work in the garage yesterday so we pulled the Cobra out and contnued on the carpet. Almost complete. After spending my first 31 years in Wisconsin I can understand the cabin fever everyone gets this time of year. A couple photos that include some green grass.Click image for larger version.

    Jakarta

    Diegokid ,

    Jakarta is ok . I have been going there for the past 5 years for work .It would be much better if it didnt take so long to get there .I spend about 34 hrs traveliing each way .

    When it is cold here it is very hot there and when it is warm here it is raining everyday there so i keep a cold all the time .

    How long were you there ?

    I've been several times but never lived there. Uncle Sam used to send us there for several weeks to a few months at a time. Last time there was just after Desert Storm. May have changed since then but there are several countries in Africa that never did change.
