If she was here, she'd be wrapped up in her parka and the pic would be less interesting.

That is not nippy, that is freezing ass cold.

We have one more nice day of 60s and no coat weather. Then tomorrow that dang Canadian air comes to vist us. Good possibility of freezing rain or sleet.

I think it is just being remodeled. The traffic that place gets is mind boggling, which is part of the reason it was getting so run down. I don't think there is any way they'd just level it with the amount of business it does.

For a long time it was THE world's largest McDonald's. I never went into the McDonald's part, just the bathroom side.

The last time I had any Micky D's was coming back from the racetrack at Hallett. Micky D's is the first civilization I came to.

I am going to put in for my sbr stamp on this receiver, it'll just be a pistol for 10 months or so first.
Hmmm, if I put a 9" free float rail on I'd be pretty near the sight radius of an m4 using the extremes of the rail and receiver to mount irons and it'd come pretty close to flush with the barrel and compensator. If I could find a levang linear comp, that'd be awesome, but I'll probably end up with a troy claymore, the noveske option is kinda massive compared to those two and doesn't add a lot of benefit from what I've seen

it is absolutely no wonder that the battery trays on the 944's rust out: the drain hole is not the lowest point, nor does the front part of the tray flow to the drain hole. WTH?!

I just always make sure mine doesn't have any leaves or crap in it and it's fine. But we also rarely get rain, and it's even rarer that my car is outside to get rained on.

If you drive it all the time the water will slosh out and into the drain as long it is free of leaves or junk. Engine heat will dry it out.

Of course that is the theory. Your results may be different.

it is a puddle of water. four inches by ten inches and a quarter of an inch deep.

i hear what you are saying, glen, but there isn't much sloshing going on when the car is parked and it is raining.

i am a little surprised that it wasn't much much worse. i drive the car year round, snow, rain, whatever.

maybe i should relocate the battery.
