Sad Saturday ...

**Don M** · 11-12-2022, 10:45 AM

Today is a sad day...the weather has gone from awesome Thursday, to rain all day Friday, to 37* with suspicions of $n@w this afternoon.

For the first time EVER, the Camaro has been put away in the garage to sit out the winter months (I haven't "Put a car away," for over 30 years, and I've forgotten how to act). And the final downer, was gathering all my detailing chemicals from the garage, boxing them up and putting them in the basement to keep them from freezing and being ruined. Even the garden hose has been disconnected, rolled up and put away.

Here is a picture of my sorrow (and before anyone asks, there IS a thick, fluffy microfiber towel between the box and the hood).

But just think how fun it will be to haul it all out next spring and "discover it" all over again, it will feel like Christmas

To a small degree...I know how you feel. We've had a very mild November....but that is all subject to change this week. Temps dropping to the 40's, with overnight lows in the 20's. Just finished getting the truck coated before the bottom falls out.

Man! Don’t do that. I was thinking the worst. But I know what you mean, we had mid 70s until Friday and today it is rainy and cold and I need to disconnect the hose today due to freezing the next few days. And my car needed washing but I was slammed with work so didn’t even get to wash it.

Is it too early to be thinking about spring knowing we still have winter to come?

Rain here too from hurricane Nichol. Sadly, moved all my stuff to the heated portion of the basement today.

Get some cotton balls and peppermint oil and put them in and around your car. Supposed to keep the mice away.
