    I applaud both of you. Me.....I'm too much of a curmudgeon to handle this cold weather. Time to move south with the rest of the "blue hairs".

    I used the quarter spray wash down the street and drove it into my garage for an air compressor dry down. When it gets really cold, I'll wash it in the garage with the door slightly open and the water running down the drive way making a great ice run!

    Took Scooter down for an oil change and adjustment. Koni's are now on full soft, MM, you were right all along. :)

    Washed the CM, got gas after my Scooter fun, then I washed Scooter, yesterday. All clean and shiny for our club dinner on Saturday evening. :)

    What is a heated garage? :wink:

    This is why I love working from home when I'm not flying somewhere. When I went to work this morning (at home) Dark Helmet stayed in the garage all snuggly warm with his cover on...and he remained clean with a fresh coat of Banana Gloss. The only dirt I encountered was on the bottom of my slippers when I walked down the driveway to get the newspaper.:D:D:D

    Since my wife traded her Cabrio in and the chrome bits won't fit her new car I installed the brake duct chrome on mine.

    Saturday took the Countryman out for a drive north and got it more dirty. Wife took it to the grocery store this morning. :)

    First thing she said when she got back, hey my MINI is dirty and needs gas. :skep: :)

    I guess I will spend some time washing and Hydro today. :shocked:

    Stopped at the dealer on the way home, got an armrest installed, got some rubber floor mats. Then carried on home topless, and put a stubby antenna on the Roadster that we had.

    :cornut: THREAD JACK- Please explain 'BEATER' to me. I thought that it was a sleeveless deep neck under shirt worn by Body Builders and Wife Beaters. Obviously it has several meanings so what are the other meanings,please? Now back to the thread.:Thumbsup:
