    The truth is winter sucks, but it gives me a chance to do things I wouldn’t do if the weather was warm. I did get a couple rooms painted and refinished the kitchen cabinets. My son gave me a model boat to build and I’m steaming the mahogany hull planking. Made a Ford clock from a piece of scrap wood I had layin around the garage.

    Pulled the steering column from my F100 and did some cosmetic and electrical upgrades. Now I’m pullin the doors off, replacing the seals, latch strikers and hinges on the drivers side. Also replacing a cracked window in the drivers door. Being an asshole, I slammed it several times and broke the glass, only to discover the seat belt was in the latch. I’m also thinking about new carpet and Dynamat. I got the new glass and the seals yesterday and waiting for parts from Mac’s Auto Parts. I’m sure I will be ready for warm weather crusin.

    I wish I had your woodworking skills. I loved the clock! Your truck is pretty sleek too!

    I like winter here. We have leafs on everything for about ten months out of the year. During the winter is the best time to find old cars. You can see everything. An there's no snakes. Unless you get a couple days of warm weather.

    I usually hate winter. I got back into ice fishing this winter. I guess I enjoy the solitude of being in my pop up shanty and catching fish. I feel guilty that I haven't been working on my '34 pickup project because of fishing. I finally got some parts primed today, hoping to paint in the near future.

    I completely understand. My house is a rental, and have a garage now (after years of box apartments) but it is 1 stall and not heated. So hard to stay motivated when you have nowhere to work on the car, and the weather sucks. Well, now after getting hammered with snow, finally looking towards a warm weekend. Thank goodness!!
