Cool safety "tip".... pun intended... Now.. about that spring!?!?! WHERE IS IT!!!???!!!?? 8-)
Snow and cold infact the coldest day of the week "Spring" I think not, but they say 40s next week
Weather man says 1st day of Spring around here is supposed to be ~37F and 20% chance of precipitation. Or I could say well above freezing and 80% chance of no precipitation, but I'm not the weather man.
I don't know what the hell we were thinking, but in high school when I came up with an "acrostic" for SPRING it was Should Pies Reflect Internal Negative Good. I like the pies part, though.
Yup......Spring.......
20* tonight, 28* tomorrow!!
Waaa hooo where's the SPF 500!!???!!
Seriously looking forward to 70s*.....
KC will be colder tomorrow with snow showers Thursday & Friday :(
Yeah, this winter just doesn't want to go away................. Maybe mother nature is getting us back for the springter we had last year. :LOL:
Spring? Some early flowering trees say yes but we have had daffofils since the last week of January! Then 2" of snow on Monday, 60 degrees F today and possible snow tomorrow, but Spring is springing and I want to take off the side curtains!

Spring here in wonderful Roch,NY-just about the mid 20's all week.I was going to stop buying kerosene for the shop heater,but now it looks like I'll have to change the plan around abit.
have Y'all forgotten that Al Gore moved Spring to a different location about the same time that he invented the internet?
Yup, cold here also. Bout had nuff of it. Last Wednesday night we took the #70 sprint car & midget over to little Belleville for a test and tune. About froze my petunia off. Only upside is this old gray haired fart can still drive a midget,put it on that young un and his sprint car. :)
No problem with Spring around here,:p these guys couldn't wait to hit the surf.:HMMM:;):LOL:
Jack.
Bye bye lunch !
Somewhere around a foot of snow yesterday - did the driveway twice as my wife had to go out to a meeting. If she hadn't had to go out - it would have been cleared by the climate change
Beautiful so far......BUT.......
Rain // ice mix tonight, 1-3 inches snow by Sunday.......
:'(
Just saw the forecast, chance it might make it into the low 40's by Thursday..... Going to be just like last year and stay in the 30's till all of a sudden in a week's time the temp goes into the 90's---and stays there!
Well, last week I was in San Francisco, 70's during the day! Then this week back in Massachusetts, 30's and 40's, Yuck.
Next week I'm in Florida, 70 & 80's they tell me, no wonder I have a head cold and can't shake it!!
You can't shake your head????? I thought you were retired?
HA HA HA HA .... nope, can't shake it! OH, you said retired.... I thought you said ret.... oh, never mind!Quote:

The Jeep will get us out and about if we have to get somewhere, but it's a MESS out there!!:LOL: Happy Spring!!:HMMM::HMMM::confused::rolleyes:
Man, that is really ugly!!! Nothing like that here, just cold still.. Went over to Craig's yesterday and helped him on his pickup but other then that I haven't been going anywhere, just working in the garage until it warms up! I just don't do well in this cold and snow crap anymore, doesn't really seem that long ago that 9" of snow on a Sunday morning and I'd have been on the snowmobile and gone playin' for the day!!!!
This is what it looked like here in the woods when some of us took a hike on Friday after the 10-12 inches we had Tuesday. Some melted yesterday, but not much at 33-34*F:
DaveW, you have some energetic and dedicated Beaver's there. Those are some BIG trees, and girdled will be dead next year.
Roger Here's another soon to be dead tree, even larger along with where they have been sliding into and out of the creek - it's right next to (25') a very busy road in town:

Light snow now, couple inches by morning, rain ice// snow mix tonight, rain ice// snow mix tomorrow, total around 3 inches. Supposed to dwindle to nothing by Tuesday noonish.
Nothing compared to Ks, Mo, & you folks East of Indiana all the way to DC & Pa!!
I agree-- one day we'll suddenly be in the 90s with 80% humidity!!
Today's safety tip:
Don't hit a pinata that has hornets flying out of it....
Looks like that latest storm will miss us - all but with a little rain. I hope so!! The beginnings of the kitchen rehab is being delivered tomorrow - our new $amsung reefer (when did a fridge get THAT expensive - OMG!!!).
Dave,
When they added computers and such:eek:;) and made them the center of family entertainment.:LOL:

Well, central Virginia caught the bottom edge of the storm but only 1" yesterday and another 2" this morning. However, by 9 AM the roads were clear and by noon a lot of the snow was already gone. I should have taken some pictures of blooming trees in the snow. I wonder how the apple trees were effected in the Shenandoah Valley? I spent most of the day watching my 700R4 being rebuilt. I evidently allowed rust to form inside sitting without fluid for several years! I had a great low gear and I could run in second but 3rd and 4th were absent. "Mr. Transmission" assured me the parts cost will be low since only the 3rd and 4th clutches need to be replaced but that shop took apart about half of the car underneath, stuff I assembled over several years taken apart in less than a day so I am bracing myself for the labor cost! Monster transmissions ran the trans before shipping but they are not allowed to ship it with fluid in it. I bought it in 2005, installed it in the frame in 2006 but did not add trans fluid till 2008 and the engine was not run until 2012 so it's going to be an expensive education. I watched the trans tear down and will watch again for the rebuild but I have to say that there is no way I could have done that myself. No wonder there are specialty transmission shops! I guess most of the folks here know to keep an auto trans "wet with fluid" but nobody told me. The last time I changed a transmission was on a '31 Model A and then again on a 1947 Ford three speed so the world of automatic transmissions means work to farm out for me. I am past the point of no return if I want a running car so it has to be fixed! Even so it was a good day to stay in the transmission shop while the snow melted outside!

Boy, I'm glad that storm missed us and got KS. Sorry. :LOL:
Trying to make lemonade out of lemons, maybe I can use the indoor time to really understand the 700R4. I just watched three Youtube videos by "Mad Dog Lou" on levels 2, 3 and 4 rebuilds of the 700R4. I gues what I have is the basic level 2 build from Monster Motors because I have an aluminum accumulator but upon disassembly a piece of a copper sprague fell out so maybe I this is the opportunity to upgrade further and also add more discs to the clutch pack. Evidently a lack of 3rd and 4th is a common problem with the stock 700R4. At this point the weather may just keep me visiting the local Mr. Transmission shop and take his advice on what upgrades are needed. The Dynosim runs made for my SBC350 by several folks on this Forum range from 298 HP to 333 HP but I see a lot of resemblence to the 1977 Z28 motor which was only rated at 180 HP so I don't think I really need much added beef to the trans but that broken copper sprague is worrisome! Anyway it is best to get this sorted out while the weather is bad so the car will be ready for summer touring, if ever!

Very informative on workings of 700R4 & importance of correct geometry & TV cable adjustment.
We're supposed to be in the high 50's by the weekend. So that means cold and 2" of snow over the weekend. :LOL:
This bright orange thing appeared in the sky this morning!!!! At first it scared the heck out of me, then I was reminded that it was this strange phenomenon called sunshine!!!! Hopefully the warm-up will continue.
I'm neutral right now. The longer it's crappy out, the better I feel cause I don't have anything cool to drive. :LOL:Quote:
