Yo, Perry!
I dodged all of them big ol' snowflakes quite well. (By staying inside next to the woodstove until they all melted!)
Great story! I hope I can be that kind of grandfather to my own little ones. I've let little JJ sit on my knee and hold the wheel while I moved the pickup around the yard. She likes to blow the horn. Little Josh is only 8 months old, so we haven't had too many driving lessons. (Yet!) We did watch a couple of F1 events together. He's a Ferrari fan.
Mr. H-
In this part of Florida we have all four seasons, just not usually to the extreme we had this past week. Snow is a real rarity, but we'll have low temps below freezing for a few days or a week or more every winter. When is your big move???
I went out to the shop one evening this week, took the carb and intake off the DogAss Slotus. Drained the rest of the water out of the block and radiator, and then decided my hands and feet were cold so I went back in. The shop is wood frame and aluminum siding, no insulation or heat. It was bloody cold in there! (At least I wasn't worried about Shop Snake in that weather!)
David-
Refer back to the part about staying inside near the woodstove. Nope, didn't go sledding... Or dragging a sled down the bikepath... Did make some damn fine Brunswick Stew in the crock pot though!
