    No, I didn't die this past week.

    We've had what I'd call an interesting week.
    4 snowstorms in 7 days and now COLD is here.
    Supposed to be minus 12F tonight.
    I decided to do something I've never had time to do before and that was to indulge my passion for another hobby I've had since I was 12 years old: Cars.
    Barrett-Jackson Auction happened this week in Scottsdale,Arizona and the Speed Channel carried 40 hours of it from Tuesday to today.
    I watched every damned second of it.
    Saw some amazing cars sold.
    a 1965 Chev Malibu Z16 that you never see. Only 201 made.
    The new Boss 302 Mustang with 444HP that auctioned for $450,000.00 for the Juvenile Diabetes Association.
    Just some fantastic cars from the 1930's to present.
    I remember my father taking me to Al Grillo Ford in Lynn,Mass in 1966 when I was 14 and seeing a gleaming blue and white 427 AC Cobra in the showroom and I fell in love with that car.
    It's something that gets into your blood and you either have it or you don't.
    If I ever hit the lottery I will get one, or maybe the Daytona Cobra..
    It's a tossup on those two..

    Nothing to bench.
    The SB system is working fine on WCG at 4634 and making almost 43,000PPD so I'm happy.

    unseasonably warm here... mid 70's. But it was really cold here a couple weeks ago, like 30's at night and 50's during the day.

    If you could pass a few degrees this direction I've appreciate it!

    I think it is pretty crazy that parts of Alaska are warmer than the North East and Mid Atlantic. I've not seen negative temps yet this year but it was 4°F last night and supposed to be lower tonight.

    Could be. Some random walmart battery that was in the truck when I got it, so it probably isn't the best thing around

    Well if we substitute the melting point of lead for that of water as our zero point then it might be negative temperatures here.

    We hit minus 24 a few nights ago. International falls hit minus 45 too. Supposed to warm up to the twenties until next Sunday, then back to around 2 degrees in the day time. Dave, I can send you that x5482 to warm you up. Blows flames out of the rear when crunching.

    Except that 0°C is 32°F, but yeah, that's pretty cold.

    Bet you have no trouble keeping you systems cool though.
