Huzzah! Found the corded sander, and even discovered a fresh pack of 220-320-400 wet-or-dry that I picked up awhile back and promptly forgot about.

I can't believe it's warmer here than in OH and MA.

I can't believe it's colder here than in Alberta! Look at the temps toward the end of the week though... no white Christmas for us

Topped out at 60 today, which I'm sure some of you would kill for right about now. :p

Got most of the right front quarter panel sanded with 220.. and yep, stupid me, I was out there with the hose again, trying to flush more out of the upper intake. I suppose this means Crystal gets to hit me now. :p

This should make you feel good Bird351. My guess is at least one out of three cars will not start tomorow, make for good business.

Note: all temps in Metric.

-40 C = -40 F, so it's a pretty good indicator either way.

Our weather fluctuates so much. It was like low 36/high 59 (F) the other day, and tomorrow it's probably going to be low 66/high 80. (F) I wish it would stay on the cool side longer. Maybe not as cold as that, though. :p

Strangely, my biggest complaint is that it never "feels" like winter for long anymore. I think it used to be like 60s for the highs all winter. Now we get these crazy-assed spikes one way or another for 3 months, and then back to "summer". The cold, to me, is a novelty that I'd like to experience more, and I just figured some of you way up north would get a laugh knowing that many (probably most) of my fellow Floridians whine up a storm on days like that.

I know what you mean about the fluctuations, Bird351 - just look at our temperature range over the next few days. It's no wonder our roads are all heaved and cracked to hell:

Now this is messed up. It's dropping 34*c (61*f) between Christmas Eve and Boxing day. I'm so glad this is my last winter here.

And we're expected to be in the single digit minus' in the new year. :wtf:
