No, yesterday was a beautiful day.
Went fishing all day
The sun was great but it was windy.
Had only one bite all day.
Did I mention there was over 12" of ice on the river ???
Oh well hopefully they will bite more in 2 weeks for the tournament. !

I am no expert in cold weather fishing, but I think you would have had alot
more bites if you put the bate under the ice.

I didn't see this one coming ! Good one though !
But yeah I had 17 tippers and the bait was actually near the bottom . Just happened that fish wasn't there or hungry.

Ha, Ha that was a really good one. You sent your Canadian cold weather to MI. I just don't know how you live through these winter months. When I started my car this morning it was -1 degrees. Please keep your cold weather in Canada, eah.

Hey Chappy,
I might go out for a run today! The skies are blue...the sun is out...Well, OK, It's -15 and 40+ below windchill
...maybe I'll just run on the treadmill today.
Holy shit I hate this weather...and my grandparents for settling here!

Bill,
Im glad my garage is warm. I am plumbing in all my vacuum lines and intakes, I have to figure out were I am going to weld a few bungs for vacuum lines and my 7th injector.
I may not need the 7th injector at all, but if I plan on boosting 1 bar or a little above it might be a nice safety feature. I tested and set my pressure switch to 10lbs to fire the injector but will most likely set it at 12lbs. if needed.
Spring is almost upon us I wish the guys at the body shop would finish up with the car.

Feb 4 2007, 11:21 AM
Chappy,
I thought it was out of the body shop? Guess not. You'll be busy putting everything together so you can drive it to NM???
iamchappy
Feb 4 2007, 11:32 AM
Thats the plan A-bomb rumble, The cars in primer so it is only a matter of time before they finish it up.
I had my interior reupholstered in black leather and have picked up a few goodies that I will have to install. When I remove my trailing arms to put in the needle bearings in I think I will fabricate the Ebrake drum setup so I still have a few things that will keep me busy putting it back together.
I may tow the car there and bring Ollie with.

That sounds like a good plan. Let me know if you'd like any help..I just might have a bit of free time here and there. I'd like to see this beast running soon!

Doesn't that just mean you have to spend a whole buncha money on plastic surgery so you look good in public? I just add layers. Nobody can tell how chunky I am...
Not as cold as MN, but it ain't balmy in Chicago either...

Well please dont hate me but its 77 In most of So Cal, I just got back from a short run with shorts on and the garage is saying lets get some work done on cars during the Superbowl. But as we all know the cost of living here in So Cal $$$$$. but good whether.

Anything colder than -20 feels the same and equally painful, windchill factor of - 40 or more is no joke, it is truly painful and it takes your breath away. You can experience throat closer where your lungs would not allow that freezing air in!

Last week it was in the 20s.... today it was up to 55 degrees and sunny.
Unlike the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia, we actually get seasons. But winter doesn't last very long at all! And we don't have the high cost of living either.

do you realize it can warm up 50 degrees (wc) and still be below freezing? Man I just finished a killer bowl of chilli
