Well I do agree that moving to the desert Southwest was a major climate upgrade, I can simpathyze with Andre. Having lived in NY and PA for 30 years was enough winter for me. I hated having two seasons: "winter" and "road contstruction".
As for me, the main "content maker" for the site, I've been off to a rough start of 2007 as you may know. But I'm just now regaining use of my finger on my right hand.
One of the perks of being a teacher is the free time. Since today is President's day here in the United States, the kids are off. So today I spent the morning filling up an empty 40 lb dog food bag with "poo" from 2 boxers with a very high metabolism.
Yesterday felt REALLY GOOD to get some tools back in my hands! In order to support my VW addiction, I do side jobs for others to help pay for the costs of my restorations. I've been working on fabrication project for the principal at my school. It's a 50-60 year old go-kart. The original chassis was ruined from years of neglect, and she's asked me to refurbish it with modern mechanicals. It's a really neat project, but it is quite intimidating at the same time. It is not like working on your own project that you can screw up and fix yourself. This is a family treasure! The pressure is on!
I'll attach a few pics.
