February drive in ERA 717
It was unseasonably warm today and decided to take a drive so that I would not have to follow Patrick's advice and roll the car back and forth to avoid flat spots on the tires. 
Here is a link to a short video. You do not get days like this in upstate NY in February. Sorry for the shakiness of the video, do not own a go pro, so I had to hold the camera in my hand.

She does sound nice  It was a beautiful day. Wish I had more time to take a longer ride around the lake, but had to cut firewood and work on remodeling the bathroom before watching the Super Bowl. Thanks. |

Same here on the West Coast. The wife and I took an hour and thirty five minute cruise. Saw the sunset at the beach and drove on the empty cool freeways at night. The Brain Drain, er, I mean Super Bowl is a great time for a drive.

Wonderful - makes me realize what I missed on the couple recent warm days we had. But how did you hold the camera, steer and shift all at the same time?

It's a secret Dan  Having large hands is a benefit sometimes. Get out on the road and stop tinkering! |

Well you did a good job - for a free hand camera mount it was very steady. |

Almost. It is amazing how warm it can be in a cobra when it is 40 degrees out. No more rides for a while, we are getting 6-10 inches of snow over the next duple of days. Back to typical upstate NY weather.  |

The deeper the snow, the more traction you get
