Very Handy!

Thanks Flightwolf!

Since you've got a "wolf" in your name, I can explain mine -- I choose the name because among other things, I am a novelist, and I've published a couple of werewolf novels. I also thought it was a fitting name for an old fart with a Camaro. The "wolf" part is for the hot car, and the "writer" is better for my age than, say, RunsWithWolves, or HuntsLikeAWolf.

Lots of new folks lately. Welcome aboard! Hang around & check in with us. Great bunch of folks here.

Back to being slow at work today. I got to leave early though so I did not have the horrible slow crawl 1 1/2 hour commute I endured for the last 2 days with wrecks along my route home.

I stopped by the shop I hope to have do my paint work I want done for Ruby to gie him my ideas & get him thinking & coming up with some plans/estimates on getting it done as that will be my next thing to save $ up for.

There was a bit of sleet & snow on the way home but nothing to worry about. buttercups were starting to open in my garden today. I hope tonight's low temps don't frostbite them. I took a few pics just in case that is all I get to see of them. Here is one of the pics plus last evening's sunset over the garage.

I intend to run my Camaro all year round. I will buy winter tires next fall. Are there any warnings I should be aware of? Is there a better thread I should look at? (I'm asking here only because I gathered my courage to post an introduction here )

Thanks for all the welcoming words. I am gathering that you guys rock.

Welcome new members.

There is a thread on wheels and tires further up...............

Wolfwriter welcome to the old farts !!!! We are all old and know we have limited days left so everything is kept positive here.

HELLO to all the NEWBES

Welcome new old farts!

The permit process began today for the pool install. And so it begins.

Just for fun, I "roughed in" the area in the landscape stones. Looks kinda small, but the dimensions are the same as my buddy's pool, so I'm happy.

I build and fly RC airplanes. Since I prefer WWII planes, my name came from "Flight" for the planes and "Wolf" for their prowess.

Welcome.

There's an entire section devoted to wheel and tire discussions here. I'm sure that there are threads devoted to winter tires.

All I can think of offhand is that winter tires may not carry either a treadwear rating or a speed rating (considerations that might matter less if you were driving a 4-cylinder Camry).

You wouldn't happen to have a P-51 in your collection, would you?

Good morning OF's. We are back in the freezing temps here. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Come back spring! Coffee time now. I wish I could get my body clock adjusted to this darn time change. HAGD all.

I've got a Twinstar, a Liberty Sport Biplane and a P47 that I haven't crashed yet! I have considered building a P51 in the future though.

Another day, another dollar. Finished with Nashville for the week and boy am I glad traffic was a real mess this weel & commutes took forever! I hope more clients show up in Springfield tomorrow so I can keep doing Fridays at home & maybe eventually add another day of a less than 5 min commute.

It warmed up some today; 55 degrees on the way home. I am tired though. Just can't get used to daylight savings time. Have a good evening everyone.
