    Looked at my clean car in the garage where it will stay until Friday / Saturday Blizzard passes. Expecting 12-18 inches of snow.

    Fffffffffff :snowblower:

    Man that's a bummer Dave. I drove mine up and back to East Bay MINI to get the passenger air bag recall work done. That's about 300 miles in 60 deg. +- temps all day. A bit of tule fog (less than 1/8-1/4 mile visibility) this morning, but a great trip on a Winters day.

    Should get yourself an R60 Dave... Then you could have fun in the snow too!

    We're looking at up to 24". Do they make a blade for the R60? I'm sticking with my 2500HD Suburban.

    My MINI is the dirtiest it's ever been...haven't washed it in over a month due to the on again/off again rain. :eek:

    Woke up, poured some coffee, went down to the garage. MINI is fine then I opened the door to 18 inches of Snow. WTF it's still snowing all day with 29 -40 winds all day until Sunday early AM so we should have 2 feet easy by tomorrow. Ugh

    My Mini is in the storage building and will stay there until this stuff goes away.
    It's about 100 yards from my back door so I won't be checking on it for a while.
    The Mini usually sits next to the Galactic Cruiser(you'll notice I gave up on clearing the snow off the Suburban)
    The snow is still coming down, and I don't have any plans to leave the house until things clear up some. Unless I get the urge to play around with the GC. :cornut:

    Sunny and 60 here today...

    Trashing some stuff out of the garage, moving usable parts up to the loft for storage... Gotta make room to build a room!

    Got quite a bit of stuff cleared out of what used to be the corner of death... Found the neighbors cat that went missing 12 years ago, 2 bunnies, a unicorn, and an expired but winning Powerball ticket back there! Who knew...

    Na, just tore out the tire rack, broke down the engine hoist to save some room, moved the Rat's original engine, and the compressor... Also got all the MINI parts pile moved to the loft... Hiding behind them was also a set of high strength front axle shafts for my old Samurai, some Honda parts, and even some stuff left over from my EVO. It was a good day all around.
