Be thankful for your garages

Glad I got the new top on, sad that I don't have a garage. My car cover has basically disintegrated, so I need to get a new one of those. I am building a large storage shed/barn/workspace next year (I think) so maybe I can house the Fiat in there. That's Doubtful because of the other things I have waiting for the shed, but It could happen. I'd like to get my John Deere tractor down here and my two riding lawnmowers in there (tarps work OK, but not like a good storage shed would. Someday I'll figure out what to do about having a real garage.

PS For Identification reasons the fiat is the only 2wd car without ski racks on it...

Man that stinks that someone pulled a prank on you and poured sugar on everything. They must be pretty wealthy though because it looks like they used a whole truck load! Some times if I leave mine outside overnight and there is dew on it in the morning and I have to wipe off.

oh, and in this day and age I should probably follow a joke like that with a short disclaimer about how I wouldn't really wish those things on anybody and it was all meant to be a joke (tasteless or not), so consider that my preemptive reply to anybody who thought they might finger wag and head shake in my general direction....

man, I was all set to start wagging that finger when I realized it was the ground shaking and I didn't need to wag!

Hey Dan, looking at those pictures makes me feel kind of guilty, I was just telling my better half last night that with all the time I'm spending out in the GARAGE I want to get it heated. It got all the way down to 46 deg. the other night! Ron

Yes...This does make me feel kind of spoiled. I have mechanical cooling in my shop but, now I want mine heated. In all fairness, I must defend myself by saying our weather here ranges fron high teens in the winter to 110 in the summer but, I do have things inside at least. ...J.D.

Dan I was in tears until I read your disclaimer. I thought you were wishing death and destruction on me or worse my Fiat! Maybe Mark can put a header on the top of the page with a disclaimer for all jokes and sarcasm contained in the site. As a Gunsmith my days of being politically correct or easily offended have long since passed. But it sure is nice watching people shovel snow on the news while I am in shorts with the A/C cranked down. We do have a cold front right now, it is supposed to not get over 81' this weekend, brrrrrr

Weathers good here in ATL, too good! No rain, no snow, no drinking water, no flushing the radiator (or the toilet), no washing the car

Good news is we can still drive some days with the top down, tomorrow will be blue skies in the 70s!

Yea, what's up with that? I would have figured AZ or soCal would run out of water first.
We may not have much going for us in the rust-belt but at least we've got water. Both my in-town house and property have wells.

As for garages, they are a worse habit for me than cars.
850 sq. ft. heated & 624 unheated at my house.
1120 sq. ft. soon to be heated & 1200 sq. ft. unheated at my property.

Yep the dought conditions here are really upsetting. I have a daughter in Girl Scouts and they were banned from lighting the holiday luminaries because of the excessively dry conditions. Knock on wood, my well still has water! But we're expecting 70 degree weather all next week.

I just finished piping a wood heater in my new garage,but today we are 68 degrees!! We do get some snow here in the beautiful N.E. Ga. mountains,but a 6'' snowfall will close down the town for days! I feel for you guys not being able to take the car out for months at a time.I get the 'itch' after a few days. Craig
