Default Changed the oil today...

It's 27 outside right now and didn't break 40 today with an inch of ice
pellets still on the ground from last Friday's storm. Revel in it, folks.
Talk to you in February...


Okay, now I *know* we've stepped into the Twilight Zone, when Iowa is
warmer than Grass Valley, California, in January...

By 2 PM today it was in the 50s again. I did some work on the new
"Green Grape" (our new Toyota fuel truck) in shirtsleeves.

Astounding. It just can't last.



We had high 60's-70F in CT. I went for a bike ride in summer riding
gear!


I went for a motorcycle ride yeaterday - and didn't need a coat. A wasp
flew by while I
was sitting on my front porch. Had to chase a bee out of my plane
(twice) while doing
the Annual in December. Have seen a couple of moths in the house
recently.

Like the man said - it's weird. But I'm not complaining.

Ermmm... Step two through 11? IE What I *meant* to say was the total
time for the oil change, not including the half hour to hour of play
to warm up the engine. :-))

I live in he 'burbs SE of Denver.

I'm not having fun. Fortunately, the cherokee is tucked in the hangar
(not heated) with the oil pan heater on (let's not get into that
discussion again), blankets over the cowl, a full tummy of fuel in
each tank...

The car is tucked into the garage (not heated) with a full tank of gas.

I'm tucked into the house (heated) with a really good DSL line,
home-made chicken soup in the freezer, and a good supply of DVDs.

We have *all* the snow that everyone else usually gets. Feel free to
come and visit your snow. Of course freezing levels are 9000 ft.

Call me in March when the state thaws out.
