the key to a good day, and a good week, and a good month, and a good year, and a good life apparently is to work out a lot in the morning and then drink beer for awhile and see what happens. Then, when the good feelings envelope you there is only endorphins and the warm jimmies all over until boob or sleep. Then, wake and do it all again right? I dunno but I think I stumbled onto something....I'll do some research and get back to you with my findings

Whe I lived in Chicago, the old man next door would shovel out his space and guard it with milk crates. If you took his spot he would water your car with a garden hose until there was about an inch of ice surrounding it. He'd water the snow bunker around it too to make it harder to shovel out.

ray - yeah, I heard there's a recession going on. Don't know too much about it, other than my retirement account is down a whole bunch. I want to keep my head in the sand as long as possible. But when you do get out here, let's double team Aero. We'll fry his legs and then we can take our time with some of those decents. I crashed on one of those puppies, too. But it was not nearly as bad as your crash. After what he put us through, we need to make him beg for mercy!!

Try Canada cold. Avg cold temp while I was back home in Canada this year in Dec was -15C to -20C along with -25C wind chill. It generally gets much colder in Jan and Feb.
