we're only gonna have a high of 21 today...too cold to even try and get my garage warmed up with the wind. That's ok though, I need a break from the '57 projects anyways. I've been in one of those one step forward and two steps backwards for a week or so now...time to step back from it.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Just got through canceling my annual check to the "Stop Global Warming Charity". Now I remember why I didn't vote for Al Gore.


Just think about the mentality of the morons that did vote for him and the current guy.

Cold here in the teens.  Have to turn on some ceramic heaters to make sure the plumbing in the garage doesn't freeze.  No snow yet.  Frequently we get that during the month of March.  When it starts snowing close to Atlanta, we know we're in trouble.

If ya' really want it, all ya' have to do is "STEP- UP"

Can't believe you have to ask its so obvious,they're eating Cuban sandwiches and sounds like they're washing them down with ''Cuba Libres''.

. Lots of frozen pipes(I've lucked out and only had one so far).



Hope you're right, in my experience you're really never sure and when you start to relax you hear water running in a wall or in a crawl space. Then the fun begins.

Just watched the forecast for the weekend and its going to get colder with the possibility of snow on Monday, great.....

On the upside I picked my crank up from the machine shop yesterday (10 thou grind) & just placed an order with Summit for bearings, valve seals etc so going to sit by the window and wait for the postman!

Can't complain weather wise we had a couple weeks of heavy fog now a few days of clear sunny skies, dropping below freezing at night. So we wake up now to heavy frost that's been burning off by mid morning and temps reaching mid 40s. Actually just for grins mowed my front lawn yesterday and cleaned out flower beds. Daffodils are just starting to break ground.

All this talk of Cuban sandwiches made me hungry.  The wife and tried a new place in nashville and they had a Cuban on the menu.  It was great!

My gas cylinder is filed with c25. I got a new cart for my welder and accessories and spent yesterday getting my shop half way organized.  I'll have to get some shelves and more pipe this weekend to get it finished.  I decided to move my aircompressor outside,  and install hose reels.  It's turning out nice but in true project fashion is running at budget x2.

I did play around with my new paint guns (Xmas from the mrs). I was very pleased with the results and I think they are great. Of course I have zero experience to base this off of. But they layed down Valspar thinned 5% very nicely on the new roof for my compressor.

Welcome home first of all, had many home commings during my time.  You will never regret have that NOISE maker out side!  After years of having it in the garage and putting up with the noise I decided when my shop got set up that thing was going to go outside.  Best move I ever made!

It was really nice sunday night (65 no wind) and then moday morning it was 22, its currently 7 degrees with a 10 mph wind. I really should insulate and finish my shop, but it usually is only like this for a few weeks.

Advancing age has made me a wimp , if it's to cold or to hot I can't get anything done. So when I built this shop climate control and good lighting were tops on my list.

I went out and got some quality shop time Sunday, its been below zero all week. My furnace will heat the shop ok, but it'll run non-stop, just have to wait for this to blow through.
