I'll ship you guys a medium size can of sunshine if it helps.

Anything that would help is welcome over here. Saturday/Sunday lows are forecast at 18*. My body wasn't built for this. Fern is further inland from me and is likely gonna be colder than us spoiled coastal flatlanders. I inherited unbuildable swampland in Florida from my pop. I'm about ready to attempt to build on it and move.

Happy Friday folks. Encouraging and not so encouraging happenings here this week. the good, I may have my valve lash issues squared away for real now. took the Polylock that got buggered up to a friend who squared the face back up for me. Ran it a good bit today and is holding steady. Assumption is, someone prior to me getting the car, ran them way too loose for way too long, beating it up and allowing the damage. Have a new full set on the way here also. I'll be swapping all 16 to eliminate them as a potential problem down the line. The notso good, Forecasters say we're headed for a historical snowfall here tomorrow & Sunday. You'll laugh to know that anything approaching 12 inches of snow is called "historical" around here. LOL. Town will be shutdown until Tuesday I expect. More notso, the weather is forecast to be 30's-40's on our next scheduled race day. Still 8 days away, so there's still a chance for that to change for the better. Might be a boring few days around here I expect. Good thing I have heat in the shop.

Y'all stay warm out there.

No snow here so far. Looks like it is all around but none here. Cold as he!!

Happy Humpday you'se all... Change in plans for my weekend, unfortunately, or maybe fortunately?. Appears every track within 3-4 hours that scheduled a race has postponed, due to cold and/or wet conditions from our snowstorm of the century. Not quite sure I'd be able to race anyway, which is the fortunate part. I tweaked my back a few days ago and I can barely walk right now. Happens once or twice a year over the past decade or so. Lasts anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months. This time seems not as bad as usual so I'm optimistic on a shorter duration. Guess it's good timing with the weather slowing everything down this week. Received the new polylocks for engine yesterday. Once I can move reasonably pain free, I'll put em on. Did manage to get in the shop yesterday and clean my greasy handprints off the car, thankfully no bending or twisting, just limping, LOL. We have a Cars and Coffee event 1st Saturday every month, so maybe I'll head out there, limp around and enjoy looking over other people cars.

Fern, hope y'all are thawing out over there. cold weather sucks. I'm under the impression that our West coast friends are a bit warmer than us. Hope y'all out west are getting out for some hotrod fun. Did I mention, cold weather sucks?

Hey Bob, I got notice that we have sunshine and warmer temps on the way sometime in the next few days. Seems the winter bomb did a decent job delaying its delivery, but it's on the way. Thanks for shipping it out.

hey Fern,
Your col and wet weather are sure screwing up the nascar race.

And if that weren't bad enough it was cut off on my TV at 9pm so the masked singer could be on. Give me a break. I don't yet know who won. Floyd I had somewhere around 1ft of snow and can't remember when it was above freezing. Oops they just said Preese won.
