linus6948 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 50 Degrees and Sunny with dry clear roads on Dec 27th forced me to wake her from her "Winter Hibernation" for an afternoon outing. I think we both enjoyed it immensely and I was out till after dark not wanting the fun to end. Today is 40 and raining and back to the teens by Tues night, but it sure was a nice break while it lasted. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1940plymouth Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I know the feeling, I had my Plymouth out a few days before Christmas, makes winter seem shorter doesn't it. I had wanted to take the Plymouth out again yesterday, but I am unable to drive right now, slipped and fell down the slippery steps Christmas Eve, sprained my right ankle, darned old fool LOL. Who knows, maybe by the end of the week. No snow in the forcast 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linus6948 Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Yes well put, it did take a little of the sting out of Winter and make it seem a little shorter. Certainly better than last year when it was like "Ice Station Zebra" around here for months. Feel better and take care of that ankle, a little liniment around 100proof taken orally usually helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbound Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) Doesn't look like winter has hit on the right coast. It was in the low 40's this morning here in So. Cal. & took the motorcycle for a spin.......chilly, but fun. Edited December 28, 2014 by deathbound 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertKB Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) Glad you got the old girl out. I'll bet it was a lot of fun! Thanks for posting. It will likely be a few months yet for me. Sometimes the roads end up being dry but they put so much grit and chemicals down I don't want to lose a windshield or get the paint too beat up. When windy, which it can be very often in my part of the world, it is sometimes like driving through a sandblaster. I leave that for the everyday vehicles. One thing I don't understand is those people who live where it is decent weather most of the year and yet they let their cars sit and never drive them. Makes no sense to me. During spring, summer, and fall when the weather is decent, I have an old car out virtually every day.

1952B3b23 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Nice to see you got the car out. It has been quite warm these past few days up here in the great north east. Its nice but kind of strange considering its the end of December. -Chris 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulu Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) When you have to shovel snow first, driving the car becomes a more engaging experience. It's so much easier to drive somewhere here, than most places I've lived. It's not such an adventure. The car becomes an appliance. Everybody has one. Ho Hum... In Duluth, winter driving was for the brave! Baudette Mn was easier, but lonely driving out on the Muskeg. The Wassatch Front was insane. I'm no longer into insanity. I live in the free-parking capitol of California. Gas is high, but it's still heaven. Edited December 30, 2014 by Ulu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Strange year weather wise. I live in Alaska and we have no snow on the ground. It's been no lower than 40 + for the last 4 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertKB Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Only if it is gasoline powered. I wonder how many broken bones he ended up with? Also, two Fords in the picture so he has a double hex on him. Edited January 1, 2015 by RobertKB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertKB Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Lucky, lucky Bob. Looks like a great day. Thanks for posting. Was Cooper riding shot gun today or not? Way too much ice, grit, chemicals on the roads here to be able to get out. I will have to live vicariously through you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
