Of the cold, cannot get anything done further until get a warm spell as my shop(Barn) has no heat. Even with a heater the doors don't seal so drafty and still cold or will rain inside as humidity comes up. Really looking to 50+ degree weather so I cn get back on the machine! |

My machines are outside. What I dislike the most is how the huge hunk of iron can suck the heat from any part of me that touches my HD6G. Cheer up the days are getting longer now |

The weather doesn't bother me, it's the "not being able to do anything" that gets to me. Wish it was getting close to +50, but that is months away yet.

| I have been cage crazed for about two weeks, equipment is just sitting too cold to get anything done and I need to get caught up on projects. Did end up getting a small surgery done to my right middle finger, had a ganglion cyst that would not go away, kept getting worse so had it removed, nasty and sore right now, no oil or dirt for a short time until stitches out and healed properly. |

We tried to alleviate some of that cabin fever on the weekend by building a sled hill for the young 'uns. Here is a picture of my wife making it and one of   the "crew"... |
