Deal, did somebody say Deal? Oh, Dean, yeah that's me.
Default Weather or: Snow Donkeys are pissed!

It was damn close to 90 degrees on my back porch today in the shade!!! I'm in shorts, T-shirts and Birkenstocks in mid April thinking about firing up the swamp cooler...

I think I saw some snow Donkeys on their way down to the Capital to request a bailout...

It's not that I'm lazy, It's that I don't care.

I put on the summer tires a few days ago and the forecast has a chance of snow later this week

I even got the wagon washed today. We're doomed. What's REALLY going to screw us all is if I get the RS on the road by friday. Then we'll have snow in Fernley for the autocross!

I've had bald summer tires on since the day of the Autocross that didn't happen. Even drove over the summit at night in the snow but it wasn't sticking to the road so had zero issues. Washed it on Sunday...man it looks good with the gunmetalic Torques all shined up.

We might get a splash of rain this weekend.

I had switched to summer tires on the rex which promptly caused the second to last snow storm, then changed oil and gave the motorcycle a tune-up which caused the last snow storm.

Or I have a weird knack for picking the worst times to do such activities. lol

I did wash wrx during weekend and keep looking at the sky. lol
