Amen! Let this be a lesson to you - always put some silicon spray on the door weatherstripping before the big freeze! I had the Saturn out today "warming it up." Sure enough, it got warm enough to melt some ice around the doors which promptly refroze - it's locked up tighter than a drum now! And a Merry Christmas to all

I had the Kerosene Heater going in the Garage last night so I could clean up the Vette and SSR. I got it up to about 65 in there and boy did it feel good, until my wife opened the garage door by mistake to let the dogs in. -5 Degrees felt real cold real fast. Needless to say another hour wasted warming back up the garage.
Merry Christmas to all!

Glad to hear you got your power back on. Been there done that. Frozen pipes and all.

Guess I can't complain. Had to shovel show but could come back in and warm up.

WOW Don, I haven't had that happen in years.

But I know the hassle - especially with the running water sound is coming from within
a wall.

Hey guys, Send some snow to Minnesota.

We don't have but a skif on the ground!

At this rate the Vette will be out in March or earlier!

Are you kidding! You really want some snow?

You can have all of mine. I guess we are not used to having snow like this. Usually get a few inches in Jan-Feb. Mostly just cold and miserable.

You probably have the snow mobile and ski's warmed up and waiting to go. Hope you get snow soon.

Me I just want spring. Usually get the Vette out in March around here.
