[Re: winter projects]

I can identify. I really don't do anything during the winter cuz it's too 
freakin' cold and now, I don't have a garage so as if I'm going to freeze my 
butt off... or conversely, soak it since it rains for about 7 months 
straight every year!

I hate to sound all caveman-ny and every thing but a woman who talks
about cars this way does something for me.   8])

btw- I find it funny folks are talking about Winter Projects. Out here
it's 9 months of DRY and (maybe) 3 months of off and on WET. The only
consideration is weather (sic) the work can continue in a downpour.
