Today was a great Detroit day. Last night on the news they said we would likely get more than 8" of snow today, so I was prepared to be really depressed today. However, I drove to work this morning without incident, went out a couple of times during the day and had a little fun sliding around. Got to see a semi-truck driver next door at work trying for over an hour to get out of the parking lot, left work right at 5 PM while other wussies stayed in the office to "let things die down a little", out drag-raced many a 4WD vehicle in my '95 Monte Carlo (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) from stop lights, made it home in only about 10 minutes longer than normal, cleared off the snow from 3 cars, snow blew the driveway with my ultra-cool snowblower, salted the driveway, put the cars back in the driveway, watched the snow plow throw a big pile back in my driveway, went back out and shovelled this up, and was all done by 8 PM while other neighbors were still outside working and some of my friends were probably still at work watching the snow fall.

On 2nd thought I have no idea why I'm in such a good mood. This never happened in Memphis. I think I just love power tools and between having such an easy drive home and throwing the snow many feet through the air (got a little bit of Tim Allen going here) I just kept on being amazed nothing went wrong.

I think I've been here too long. I knew exactly what to do when I got home and knew how to dress so I didn't get cold at all when outside.

Meanwhile, if I was in Texas right now I bet I would have pulled off my headers last weekend and done even more this week.

Try loading a Camaro on GS-C's on an off a car trailer with snow on the ground and a temperature of -2. That's right, I did it... on Friday. I had to get to the alignment shop before going to Va Beach to shakedown my car (now in ESP trim) before trucking to Fla/Ga in 2 weeks.

Don't talk to me about Florida/Georgia in 2 weeks. Maybe we'll go to the Sebring race in March this year. That's about when I'll be truly sick of this stuff and will need a break.

BTW, don't forget to test fit that new 35mm hollow bar before you go. My front sway bar is unhooked and waiting to be replaced. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

....you guys are NUTS!

....I wouldn't GET OUT OF BED at -2 degrees!!!!!!!!!!

I wish!! Had to shovel another 8 inches of snow off my driveway this morning (I'm an hour southwest of Toronto). Getting tired of this. It's been snowing almost every day for three weeks. Guess that's our punishment for ringing in the New Year with 50 degree temperatures.

They're saying it's gonna go below 0 again this weekend. Ugh. Hard to work on the car when your eyeballs are frozen and you can't feel your fingers ... or your toes ... or your (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
