That big lump is my BMW Touring. The canvas tarp shed is about to be crushed on all sides from the weight of ice and snow. Guess where Sandy's car is...

I think you should seriously consider Northern Ut. snow is much lighter, lol and plenty of big tech firms that need serious IT talent! Plus, we got the Shae!-G

Also, I forgot that Duluth was above the arctic circle. Still have the porch lights on at 3 in the afternoon. Rough. Here it may thaw by sending us freezing rain. Can't complain it might be above freezing.

Yeah, it is up by the house in the tarp-shed. Looks like you need to move what I think are garbage cans and then it is essentially smooth sailing.
vegas beckons. what a mess. icy packed stuff should be melted off by JUNE? another one is headed your way next week yes?
7 of 9 finally made it out of her winter hive. Aric took her out so she could stretch her legs.

Nope, My oldest is a nurse with a wife and our first grand son Soren. My youngest is a college grad with a BA in Music. He also attended a luthier school. There were only 3 student per semester allowed.

This makes me smile. I did this same thing with both of my kids in various iterations of child car seats. They are now 8 and 5 and love the 914 more than ever.

He's trying to figure out how he can fit a car seat in the middle and still shift...

Taken 5-4-15 Sandy and I had to park around the back side of the monument. It had rained really hard and there was standing water on the street that was up to the rockers.

We put on over 5000 miles since March. With a little routine maintenance I would have no issue with firing up the car and doing it again. She ran sweet all the way with the only real issue being the starting thing and the speedometer quit. Pretty simple fixes. Stuff you find on a good shake down run.
Just need to change the oil and filter, check the valves and adjust the clutch cable and she's ready for another road trip! What a great car!

Fantastic thread Rick. Thank you for supplying some great reading material on this snowy birthday in Montana. 
(me) I can't wait to see the six thread. Any sneak previews of the car? I hope mine is done for next years WCR. I look forward to meeting you in person. Great job. Now get to work on the six. It's still snowing.

On a sadder note (for me really) the car is going to a new home. It really disturbs me. I don't sell stuff.
But on a lighter note the new owner is excited to get the car. He takes delivery in three weeks. I'm sure the new owner will post photos of the transfer.
Make sure to stay in touch with them and if they're not already, introduce them to the motley crew! My son (who was with me at WCR but doesn't have the same interest as I do) said that the "green machine" was his favorite! I pointed out details in all the other cars but he stuck to his guns, and when I told him you're selling it he was saying "NOOOO! I really like that one!" So, your pain is felt...

I know exactly how you feel. I just sold my BMW 2002. Couldn't really wrap my head around what I was doing, but it needed to be done.
