Welcome back, however -- I'm sure we can find something for you to do other than nothing! What do you fancy. (Red's livestock is off limits by the way.)  |
Pennsylvanian winters could be fairly robust, but not as brutal as yours Tom. I found that if I had been involved in a late night drinking session with the lads, I could de-ice the inside of my truck windows just by breathing on them. It was always a bit of a hassle to find that the heater controls had frozen solid over night, too. One of my mates used to put lighted candles across the bottom of the windscreen, sticking the melted bases onto the top of the dash board. His truck looked like a mobile birthday cake.
