Where in Texas is it going to be 70? It is about 40 degrees here in South Texas, and gray cloudy. Is there going to be a weather change I don't know about, I thought it was going to stay like this forever. It has been raining or cold, or cold and raining for the last two weeks. I did actually see the sun for about 15 minutes this morning when the cold front came through, then the clouds came.

I have nearly anything that can be unbolted powder coated gloss black. That includes the entire front end, both cross members and umpteen brackets. My son runs a powder coat department so as long as I want black it is no problem. The problem comes with changing colors.
As for temperature it was minus 21 degrees C last night or about -6 F. 32 F is a heat wave.

Butch, stop by this weekend, I'll be painting the inside of my fountain and completing a test assembly. She'll be done soon. Then garage and finally my AC.
Norval, 32 for a high is just silly. You should really move about 1200 miles south (~2000 kilometers :lol: )

Next thing on my list may be a home powder coating setup...I will have to research...temp here north of SFO is better than home in Minnesnowta. Will be sitting in class this weekend but warm is not far off... :cheers:

Glenn I like the cold. The skies are blue the lanscape is white and clean. Dressed properly you feel nothing. Strider and I get out for long runs through the snow. It is about 30F out today and if feels warm.
Winter is relaxing time of year, no yard work. I have a tractor to blow snow and even that is fun.
Also the changing seasons make you appreciate nice days. Everyday hot would get boring.
I also have a 600 Polis snowmobile in the garage that can cruise comfortably at 80 mph. I don't put at many miles on it as I do on Strider but if I get the desire for speed I can head out on that.
Have a great weekend everybody. I am off in a few minutes for a long run in the snow. :) :)
