Projects Winter is here!

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by dwollam, Dec 8, 2016.

  1. I came home to a mess and got a mess dumped on top of it. Ended up spending all my shop time fiddling with my snowblower (new carb, they're too cheap to bother wasting shop time on rebuilding on these things) and cleaning up the property.

    I did put a cab on my machine however, which gets in the way a little but is TOTALLY better than getting snow and wind in the face and I highly recommend adding one to your rig. I get the job done a little quicker now that I'm not stopping as much to duck the wind and snow or because I can't see. So I'll have more time to play with my car instead ideally.

    I wish it tilted but this is just an in-process shot.

  6. Haven't had the Ford out in almost a week. The snow last Thursday messed us up. The side streets are still treacherous and lots of salt on the roads. We've gone from 3* to 33* today in a span of 4 days.

  8. My '51 Hudson acts the same. I can warm it up but as soon as I start driving it cools down and the heat gets cold. Think I'll experiment with partially covering the radiator.

    74 degrees today in the Florida Pan Handle. Pruned our Crepe Myrtle trees before hanging out in the hot tub and heated pool.
     
  15. I hadn't driven the Hot Rods since Christmas day. We've had a little snow, and then some very cold temps. It was about 50 degrees today. So I took them out for a little cruise, to charge the batteries . It's calling for some rain tomorrow. But I had FUN DAY today, and took a couple pictures too.:) 056.jpg 068.jpg 065.jpg

    Got snowed on out at the cabin Thursday night after some hail or grapple. Melted off by late morning Friday. Really been a mid winter here, especially compared to last year.

  20. 51 and light rain on the Island. Almost beach weather! Later in the week it will dip down to 34, otherwise 44-52 for the next 10 days. I've had the Ford out quite a bit, ran it from after work yesterday until after 9 at night.

    Damn
    Snowing in the PDX area, I guess I was a bit premature the other day when I took the lawn chairs out of the garden shed.

    I thought we were done with winter and snow this season. Haven't had much snow at all. Yesterday we woke up to the ground white with snow and really cold. That melted off and was sunny but stayed cold. Today is worse. White again, not a lot but enough to cover everything and be miserable. Single digit temps at night, 19 degrees right now, 9:40am.

    Stay warm!
