Post by RsvBill on January 16th 2009, 2:07 am

started the morning out cleaning scrap metal from frame cuts out of the back yard about 5 minutes in I realized my fingers were burning, with gloves on. I looked at the therm. thingy it is reading between -5 and -10 here in Independence. next step i guess is go to work early.

I hear ya there! I hate the cold! My parents live 3 hours farther north, can't do it. This is as far north as I go. They were at -12 last night with -30 windchill. No thanks! I know we were not much different here but its still colder.

I was wondering if you had any updates on the progress to the Olds. I don't think I missed it here on the sight, but may have. I was wondering how your progress has come since we tore apart that S-10 at your place.

Do ya have any pics that you can post to update us?

I know it was -13 up here when I left for work and had the blower motor in my car stopped working on me.

Man, I laid out in the driveway last nite wiring up a broken exhaust system so I wouldn't drag on the ground. It was about 10 o'clock, below zero with a hefty wind chill. I was laying in the snow with wire coat hangers and the car jacked up on stands doing battle with a nasty old muffler. Played with it for over a half an hour but really wasn't that cold., but after all that, the damned thing wouldn't start this morning. Wasted my time in the frigid weather cause it's supoosed to warm up quite a bit for Saturday. I could have screwed with it then. Oh well..........peace out!

I have not done a thing in the garage most of the week plus I could not get inot it since I broke the key and had no spare,mom had a key so I made some copies today and I am back in business. Got some work done today and helped the neighbor move some of his junkers around so he can use his driveway.
