    IMG_2632.JPG I realize pitchers and catchers showed up this week for spring training so in thinking about it, kind of tells me we are on the downside of winter. Kind of like a seventh inning stretch in winter terms. I guess no big deal for the folks down south, up here even getting one day closer to spring is a big deal.

    Saturday was pretty warm here in CT so it made sense to wake up a couple of flatheads here since they hadn't been run in a month or so.

    Happy both started up pretty easily. So happy I forgot to get pictures; but it did happen. Given the rain and overall gloominess, the vehicles never left the garage.

    Today, I took the pickup out for a nice ride and some fresh gas in the tank. Again no pics but it did happen. Ironically someone else took a photo while another person was asking me about the truck.

    Having arrived back at the garage, I thought I could at least take a picture of the locker room aka garage.

    Snow tonight. Oh well.

  2. We are on the home ward stretch.....there is light at the end of the tunnel. Our area's first outdoor swap is about three weeks away.

  9. Pete, we got 6" of snow last night, but they are predicting 70 degree weather for Tuesday. I can't wait for the local cruises to start.

    @Texas Webb and Manyolcars. Here in the PNW it can be very gray and dark and damp this time of year.....so the better half likes to keep the lites up for a month or so after. Sure enough 2" of snow this morning! aargh!

  14. Go home Old Man Winter, you're drunk!
     
  15. well we got another 5" of Snow yesterday, according to the Weather Channel
    after this weekend its Going to Warm up Gradually I Hope so
    otherwise we will have Flooding like unbelievable Proportions.!
    I know we don't have as Much Snow as you guy's have in Maine or CT.
    but being in the Mountain Range of NY we do get a lot of the White Stuff

    Just my 3.5 cents
