No indication that's going to happen.

That one is just too easy. We'll give the moderators a break and ignore it. :D

I still say this is a book or at least a series of articles for Car and Driver in the making.

Classic Dave!

Texted with Scott this afternoon. He sent me a pic of the beach in Charleston. I sent him a pic of my snow covered roof.

I could use some beach time right now...

I'm in Savannah, I mean actually here until this Friday the 6th, I fly back to Kuwait at 1430. If you haven't passed our city yet give me a call 912-961-9278. Would love to see what a reliable roadster looks like and the garage is full of parts if you need anything...I'm only 5-6 miles off I95 from exit 94.

Currently -26 degrees Celsius (-14.8 f) tomorrows high, -19c (-2.2 f).
A snow drift on my deck has largely obscured my Barbecue and table from view.

Sigh.

It hit the low 80s yesterday here in Dallas.
The official high for today was likely set at midnight (about 42).
The winter storm warning goes into effect at 6pm.
It's highly likely that the entire Metromess will be shut down for the weekend because of ice all over the roadways.
I've seen the low for Sunday night forecast as low as 11.

Oh, I'm sure I dropped something there. The rear main is still leaking a little, after all. :)

It's been solid since I swapped that bearing out. Was probably a good call to do that work when I got the chance back in Dayton. The only other thing that's really come up is that the radiator petcock developed a leak, so I just swapped that out with a plug. Pretty impressive for a 46 year old car if you ask me. :)

So the route planning seems to have worked out pretty well...it's 82 and sunny here, I got a beachfront hotel for $50 due to off season/mid-week rates, and I just got back from a swim. Off to Disneyworld tomorrow... :)

I'm in the state for a while, leaving Daytona today and heading to Orlando for a couple days, then continuing down the coast to Key West, then back up the gulf coast. Probably another two weeks or so. Will be stopping in West Palm, Miami, etc.
