    Florida is too hot and humid for me in the summer.

    My wife and I are shopping for land near the coast of Delaware. Once that is a done deal, the retirement house with a heated garage will go on it. :)

    41 days until my wife's car goes back out into the driveway and Firebrid season starts again. (April 1st.)

    Does that mean there are only 2 seasons: non- firebrid and firebrid season?

    Hopefully nice weather returns on April 1st and is not an april fools day prank in Ohio this year(y).

    Measure today, cut tomorrow. Today I marked the Firebird Core Support where it needs to be cut away because of making the nose shorter. Tomorrow I get out the cut-off tool and go to town. :)

    No joy today. The weather forecast was overly optimistic, and I'm being kicked in the butt by the latest annoying virus to hit me.

    On to the next warm weekend, whenever that will be.
