Warren,

The weather is weird. I haven't started my car since the 24th of November, but the guy is supposed to be here today to finish the dash. Once that is done and I get the battery hooked up, I hope to see if it will start. If so I can run it under the car port long enough to get the fluids warmed up. Just to cold and windy to drive any. And to be honest since I had to have Sherry put to sleep I haven't had much interest in anything. Thought about jumping out a window, but it is hard to really do much jumping out of a basement window.

Ron - the death of a pet is bad, but a fact of life. But you still have one little doggie to take care of today and tomorrow. Maybe you need a new puppy???? One with 4 legs ... not 4 tires!

Warren,

I have thought of that, but with my health I just don't think I will be around long enough to enjoy them or help them. I would be more than willing to sell the Cobra if I could get a decent offer for it as it really doesn't appeal to me much any more. I enjoy the looks and conversations, but actually prefer to drive the 69 Cobra more. I just seem to be losing interest in a lot of things and am not sure why. Maybe this two months of continual cold and wind.

Ron

Ron61 · #**2565** (**permalink**) 01-19-2007, 08:07 AM

I think I should take a vacation to Main or one of those states where the weather is nice. Sounds crazy coming from a person in SUNNY Calif. doesn't it.

Hey Ron,

It is still sunny here in Hawaii!

trularin · #**2567** (**permalink**) 01-19-2007, 10:59 AM

Maybe I am missing something...what do you all call cold??

In Michigan, we usually start putting a coat on when it gets down to 30.

hey,littlecobra · #**2568** (**permalink**) 01-19-2007, 03:32 PM

then it'll probably be pretty balmy for you next week....

It doesn't get cold like this...That is why I live here

but it did warm up the other mourning to 40

when we got .10 inches of rain and it all happen on my way to work, then the clouds were gone and it was cold and I was wet and outside all day

Flip,

Hawaii is always sunny except when it is raining. The citrus loss here in Calif. due to the freezing weather is going to really effect all the states. Yesterday we had a high of 57 with a pretty hard wind blowing which brought the index down to around 43.

Tru,

Here we start putting coats on when it gets into the lower 50s. After a Summer of 115/119 degrees, it is hard to imagine how a 24 hour drop to 55 degrees can feel. And the older I get, the more I seem to stay cold.

So Ron...is this like an Ice Age thingy??

Kristen, a warm blanket by the fire and a cup of hot Cocoa.

Warren is probably frozen to his steering wheel bless his heart. I caught a thread on a Oil heater installed in an oil pan. I wish I was that young to go out in my car in 30 or 40 degree weather. Wow. Makes me parts curl up just thinking of it.

Garage door broke, it is 22 outside...in the sun. I am gonna have to fix some of it.

Tru,

This brings back bad memories of the big ice age. Darn Global Warming anyway. But it was a lot warmer back when the Earth was still forming and all of the volcanoes were going off all over. I guess that is why I get cold so easy.

Photo is of Camels taked directly from overhead. The white spots are the camels and the other is their shadows.

Freddie,

I ran into this and immediately thoght of you.

Ron

trularin · #**2575** (**permalink**) 01-21-2007, 11:53 AM

Great shot of the camels.

Ron61 · #**2576** (**permalink**) 01-21-2007, 12:09 PM

Yes, if they hadn't told me I would never have guessed it. In fact I probably wouldn't even have noticed the white spots.

Ron

trularin · #**2577** (**permalink**) 01-21-2007, 06:57 PM

That was one heck of a photo, I wish I could take shot like that.

Ron61 · #**2578** (**permalink**) 01-22-2007, 05:12 AM

Tru,

You can. Just buy a ride to the Space Station on the next trip and take all kinds of neat pictures. I heard they will even throw in a parachute if you ask.

Ron

trularin · #**2579** (**permalink**) 01-22-2007, 06:59 AM

As soon as I get a spare 20 million.

I need some of your road salt. It's snowing. The total amount of snow so far this winter is amost ONE INCH.

Normal snowfall would be about 20 inches.

Either way, no ride tomorrow. Supposed to get off and on snow showers all the way thru until Friday.
