Projects Winter is here!

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by dwollam, Dec 8, 2016.

  1. We will set two more record 90 plus degree days, then more seasonal. Each day that passes is one day closer to spring.

  3. We have been lucky here this Aug.The last 3 weeks plus some in the beginning of Sept have been nice here.Now its been going back in to the 90s again. I have been splitting fire wood all summer with my H.F. log splitter{I have had it 3 years and still works great}I ran out of fire wood last winter. Now I have it piled from my shop half way up to the cabin.,And they laughed at me all summer for doing it. I am ready for old man winter. LOL. Bruce.

  11. Still have temps in the 60s here in PA. But soon time to put the monster to rest and tear down for the winter. And as most of you on here know, I HATE WINTER, AND SNOW!

    -8 (F) this morning in the Northern Red River Valley. No wind for a change, and a thick layer of horror frost to pretty everything up. Heat is on in the shop, time to get serious about getting some things done on the '32 Plymouth.

    For this part of the world, -8 isn't bad. Good for making ice on the lakes. The fun time to visit is in January and Feburary when the daytime high hovers around -18, there is a stiff NW wind, and the wind chill is off NOAA's charts.

    We just need a bit more snow and it will be time to get the other traditional winter Hot Rod's out.
