hopefully in the next few weeks i can migrate my detailing products back
into my garage.

 

Weeks? That would put you only into late February, think it won't freeze?

 

my garage is about 25F warmer than ambient temp outside, so i just
need the outdoor temps in the mid-upper teens and im fine.

im seeing hi's of about 30F's average starting so by mid-Feb, it should be
enough at least to QD my cars inside.

 

So until then you do what, do them outside in the cold

Mark

 

no, i dont QD my commuters (24/7 outdoors) unless birds decides
to drop something on them.

i need to QD my 2 cars inside the garage every 3-4 weeks as
there's still air movement with the garage door closed. car
paint surface temp was 30.4F the other day when it was 0F outside
with -22F windchill. not too bad. the garage floor was registering 28.7F
near the garage door so turned my tires a quarter of a turn to minimize
flat spots. this IR thermometer is very handy.

 

When I first read this I thought you meant you did not QD them 24/7 outdoors You did mean something else, right

Since the MINI is dirty and I can't get to him soon, I decided to order some Black Wow to make me feel like I was doing something good for the MINI.

Most everyone seems to like BW, so I'll give it a try!

 

lotsie- it's not like im saying i dont bath 24/7. lol

ofiloliti- did you know there's a BW version2 coming out next week?

just kidding.

 

I so almost had to destroy you right there.

 

why me?


dang it, my griot's hands-free soap dispenser suddenly stopped working.
its not like i put thick soap or anything like that. the motor won't turn.
battery's good. sounds kinda british.

 

Ha ha. You almost got me there when I glanced at the text in the e-mail alert!

 

 

Drop by when it warms up, and we can BW together
Does that sound naughty

Mark

 

so we're back to 0F and windchill of -22F. not too bad.

and no lotsie, you dont need to post your thermometer again.

 

Aww come on, I like to scare folks sometimes

Mark

 

so do you miss those extreme temps?

 

No, but I do miss views like this.










My greencard and travel card should be showing up any day now, so hopefully we can travel back up there soon, well not to soon, just checked and it is -44f there right now.

Mark

hope you get your greencard soon.

 

Yeah me too, I'm running out of rooms to paint, doing the living room right now.

Sandy Hook, where I'm from, is about 100 miles north of the Canada-U.S. border, on the western shore of Lake Winnipeg, 10th largest lake in the world. It is a community of about 500 summer cottages, with about 100 of us that lived there year round.

Busy, but laid back in the summer, quiet and VERY laid back the rest of the year

About 5 miles north was this resort town;

hahaha, must be kinda like a college town in the winter time... population
drops 99%.

 

Except we keep the beer consumption numbers steady

I get to start paying taxes as soon as someone gives me a job. My Employment Authorization card showed up in the mail today.

I have had some feelers out there looking for work, but now I will start sending out my resume.

Mark
