The black 911 sputtered for about 5 seconds before settling down when starting.
By the end of the 10 mile drive it was running as good as ever.

For a 41 year old car...I couldn't ask for better.

Here in SoCal, it's not un unusual to run the heat and A/C in the car on the same day. Not uncommon at all.

First time out this year for the black one...started right up like it hadn't been setting since Nov.
I put the snow shovels away two days ago, so if we get a snow storm you can blame me.

With the rain and warm temps in the last few days...my lawn has turned at least two shades darker green.
The mower will needed in the next week.

Got the push mower out and cut the dog run 10 days ago (lots of "fertilizer" on it). Fired up the Grasshopper yesterday and hit the high spots. We'll be mowing in earnest next week. I'm going to uncover the pool next week and start getting the new pool heater set up.

Four inches of snow yesterday. Spring just keeps getting further away.
