Looking at the 10-day forecast, that "arctic blast" will drop us from the low 80's to the low 70's next week. Don't cancel the trip.

Snow finally melted off here in KC so I took my C2S out to run a few errands. Mine has only been up for maybe 3 weeks or so since I last drove it. But having just bought it last Oct. it's been killing me not to drive. Not sure I could put it up for MONTHS. Although, I guess if I looked at it like my boat, it gets put away in Oct and back out in April...still I'm not looking at it every day in the garage either. Downhill slide to Spring now!

The older I get the less enjoy or even care to deal with Winter.

I hear you, definitely tired of the snow & cold. Unfortunately it's a way of life in central Canada. My car's been garaged since November 1st & itching to get it out.

Only consolation is the stock pile of parts I've been collecting over the winter months
