the weather.

what does this have to do with anything?

well it is starting to turn up here. aka there is starting to be a decient nip in the air. 3000" above sea level and inland means it can get cold up here. maybe not as cold as where some of you guys come from but still single digits celcius during the days and well into the minuses at night. (7 tons of firewood the last year we used wood heating, decent hardwood that burns well).

snow doesn't stay on the ground long but it has snowed every winter i have been up here, last year it snowed about 5 times. when the wind gets up it will cut through virtually anything, be it lined leather gloves or windproof polartech fleece jackets.

what does this have to do with cars? my shed is unlined fibro (non asbestos thankfully) with a corrugated iron roof. aka if it is -5 outside it is -2 or 3 in the shed. my wife marnie did say we should look at insulating it this year (i've been waiting till we had some spare $ to do this) so things are looking up a little but in the mean time i'm wondering the best way to go about convincing myself to brave the cold and get stuff done.

the cold weather will last till october as well. i'm really not ready for winter this year, i didn't get enough of the warmth.
