Bless Global Warming

[musclejunkie]

It's January 9'th and as of yesterday, I'm still washing my car in the driveway.

 

I just yesterday put in my winter mats and was able to vacuum out the car. I noticed my leather was looking pretty dingy, so I dragged out the LIC and LC products. Somehow I got a sticky blob UFO (unidentified food object) on the passenger seat. I'm happy to report the LIC worked its magic and the LC shined and softened up the leather nicely. I trashed the LC before, but with every use I like it more and more. I used a micorsoft towel to apply it and lightly buffed it in to the leather. This worked better than a foam applicator.

 

The MSS and Americana is holding up well on the exterior, as we only had salt once this winter! My DS is running low, so I'll have to order another gallon shortly. It is still my favorite Adam's product, along with the car wash. I think the regular use of this in my drying routine prolongs my sealed shine.

Does anyone know how to sign up for more global warming? This has been the best winter ever and I'd like it not to end.

Winter was cancelled in SC yesterday. We broke the old record of 76 degrees with a high of 77 degrees. Loving it and so is the electric bill..just saying.

Dang!!! I could use a few days in the 70s!!

Its been crazy weather here in ffice:smarttags" /><?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comSouthern Oregon</st1:place>. We have had very little snow this year especially in the mountains. We got a little dusting of snow in early November which is normal, but since then it has been extremely dry. Its been cold highs in the 40s and lows in the teens but no snow. It pored down rain for 1 day right after Christmas and that is all the precipitation we have had.

 

Last year was one of the wettest winters on record in my area. And this year its been one of the driest. This winter reminds me of the 2000-2001 winter when we had a huge drought and the government shut off the water to our farmers and ranchers. I really hope that does not happen this year. They are a huge part of our economy and the last thing we want is for them to not get there water.

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Klamath</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Lake</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> (the source of our farmers/ ranchers water) is right now at 31% of average capacity for January, last year at this time it was at 165%. Its starting to get scary.

At least my truck stays a little cleaner.

I have to admit that life has been great here in Pennsylvania. I was outside on Saturday in a t-shirt and shorts going over the car with detail spray! I cannot ever remember being able to do this in January!

I was up near grayling snowboarding wed - fri and it was great snow conditions didn't slush up until departure on Friday afternoon. The best part was Saturday i was warm enough in metro D to Wash and Spray seal my car!

I've been enjoying the winter so far, January 9 and in the 40s very nice for January in Illinois.

I am loving this weather but did you see the weekend forecast for Michigan?? :willy:

[chas]

I don't get how it was 55-60 this weekend and now.........its snowing. Hopefully it doesn't equate to much.

[Z71_Denali]

[The Ryan]

Its been great to so. cal too - I don't think we've seen less than 70 in the last 2 weeks...

Agreed..this weather is crazy..but nice to see. If this was Rochester winters going forward I wouldnt be so miserable at all up here.

 

Side story: Was out walking the dog Sunday and walk by these folks washing their SUV. The husband is using a snow brush as his wash brush. He's rubbing on the tires with it then goes and starts washing the doors. No rinse between (even though it was only one bucket to boot). I walk past to see the wife on the other side with a fender brush washing the doors.

 

I walked by just chuckling to myself and contemplating "is there a way to be a good citizen and approach folks like this and give them my number or do I come off like a prick in pointing out their flaws?"

 

He was using one of these:

 

She had something like this:

the only time of year i'm not able to wash our cars is when its raining

 

Houston gets snow like once a decade

I hear ya on that man, awesome to have at least 50 degrees and sunshine to be washin' and waxin'. Although I will say its a catch 22 for me. After having just bought a Jeep and getting 4x4 I could really use some snow to have some fun in. Well, maybe just one day of snow then it can all go away.
