Sanding party

[slant6billy]

No easy bake oven here. My pit crew is all female. Of course my wife got pissed when they came inside the house all covered in black paint dust. Oh well.The K-OS crew worked hard to earn a slurpee each. This was a 60 degree day today. Tomorrow is going to hit 29 and be winter for a change.

 

[Jack Meoff]

Great crew. Way better for them than X~box.
Good on ya all!

 

[Erics5th]

Yay for cheap child labor!

Cool that they wanted to help. Not sure where you are but we had the 60 degree weather yesterday, and 30 today. Feels colder for sure.

The ice man cometh up here.
We've got some arctic type sh*t coming our way.

Southern New Jersey. This past Saturday was almost 60 and Sunday was. Now plumeting into the 20s with snow showers later tonight. I got the car wiped down and put away. I'll have to shim the pass side fender where it meets the cowl and door. I just noticed scrape marks on the front edge of the driver door???? Seems to clear any rub point, so i don't know what is going on. At some point I'll say "good enough" and get it to the paint shop. Just some dimples or craters (pencil point size). I've got this 3M "fine fill" body filler in a tube/ caulk gun app. All of this is indoor / garage type work .... so bring on the cold

You gotta feel for my dad in law in Winnipeg Manitoba
~24°F there right now. Says with the wind it feels like ~51°F
That's just nuts!

Holy crap.....thats insane!

Yep, they don't call it Winterpeg for nothing.
Just brutal.

Yep, when it's that cold there is not much you can do outside. I tend to my tree trimming. From Dec to March, I'll get up in the big trees on my property and start cutting. What started as a way to keep leaves out of my gutters and limbs from falling on my house and neighbor's house and stuff, has gone to a real ass kicker. I mean, this was like 5 hours in the gym doing weights and cardio at once and I was only up the tress for a little more that an hour. Now, clean up time, so the pit crew can come out side and pick up the carcasses.

 

[Erics5th]

That right there is why I'm glad I don't have trees in my yard. Then, living in bone dry Texas, I don't have much in my yard!

 

[Jack Meoff]

I saw the craziest orangy yellow thing in the sky today .
Not a clue what it was.

 

[roadrunnerman]

I've heard rumors they call it the sun. But that's just a rumor.

 

[roadrunnerman]

Slant6, do they do that for a slurpee too?

 

[slant6billy]

Nope. Part of the household chores: yardwork. Anything car related gets rewards. vacuuming the cars out, to helping wash them, gets a trip to the icecream shop in warmer weather and usually McD's in the winter, but not with the 60degree day.

Go on...
I always heard the sun was a myth.

Hey, i'm just repeating what I heard the old guys talking about at the coffee shop. That's what they called it when they were younger.

Must be one of those old timer wise tales.
Don't believe it for a second.
