Probably as I had to give up a couple of car shows and cruise nights because of the heat.
Didn't have much of a chance to go to many this last year, I kept getting scheduled to work when the ones I usually would go to were happenings.

Work does have a habit of screwing up a persons recreational plans.

What's with the COLD weather as I thought that spring was comin'?

Did you enjoy our latest snowfall Harry? I gues we should be glad we don't live on the East Coast as they're really getting socked with snow.

y'all think it will be warm in mid-April? Needing to get back home to see the parents and I don't want to have to wear a heavy jacket so I was thinking after Easter. Might even be warm enough to see a Cubs game, before the are out of the pennant race! ![]()

Some days in April are pretty nice and that's when I usually pull my car out of its hibernation in the garage. Of course a visit to Wrigley Field in April is usually cold. May is much better as that's when the car shows and cruise nights start also.

Wow, we got a lot of snow yesterday, and to think that I was in the Caribbean last week enjoying temps in the mid-80's. I'm ready to go back.

Don't hang up your snow shovel just yet Harry. I think as far as snow goes, it'll be iffy for another three or for weeks. Come on spring!

I used to do Gino's East back in the late 60's, what a great place.

Spring?
It was 12 degrees two nights ago.
Hey Al Gore... where's that global warming you keep selling?

Patience Harry, it will be here soon. Lots of weather forecasters mention the temps we had at this time last year but that was just a "fluke" and nothing more. I've lived here all my life and this is normal weather. I've even seen snow on Easter.

We'll most likely go from the 20's right into the hot humid weather,HaHaHa. At least when it's cold You can put on more layers, but when it gets that hot You can only take off so much!! ![]()

You don't know what cold is unless you've worked outside, all day long, all winter long, and for many winters.
Posted 24 March 2013 - 05:17 PM
Nick, my work has me outside in both the extreme cold and heat. I can speak from 30 plus years experience, so I'm with You there. ![]()

Went to a car show in Joliet yesterday at the Hooters in the Joliet Mall and the show was packed. All the parking spaces were filled and the show spilled out into the Sears lot as well. Lots of beautiful cars, Hooter girlz, rock 'n roll music, good food, and just plain fun. I did take some pics with my "film" camera that I sometimes use for reference or motivation. I also did two cruise nights last week, I'm missing one tonight, and I'll make one on Saturday in Fox Lake. I just LOVE the summer months! Yes, I'm still buildin' some also.

Those living in northern Illinois, check out the Attack of the Plastic thread above in the Contest & Shows section. It should be a great time, and it's coming up in mid July.
