Oh stop the b$tchen Harry...it was 19 on my way to work this morning.

Its getting colder down here......80 F afternoon 78 F night

I say we all fire up our internal combustion engines and run them 24/7 to jump start this global warming.
Kevin and I did our part by firing up the funny car yesterday.
Methanol burned is akin to formaldehyde. Judging by the fumes in the shop, we helped out.

It's too cold down here.

Just about the same up here Carl...

22 right now.

David, PR is sounding better and better... :)

UHI ?

UV

UHI.....now I understand....cold weather has hampered my slow thinking.....count me in! ! !

hey...cold weather can be fun!!

Trust me..... Randall is really smarter than he looks......

When I read the first of this string I was tempted to post a picture of ice on our creek.
Think Randall has us beat.

UHI. Like the UVI, but UHI, in Puerto Rico! I like it!

Dug,
It's a nugget of a plan. Pursue it. Sign me up!

Harry

And you chose to be there?!?!!?!? After an experience like that I am sure that 25 degrees seemed like a HEAT WAVE.

Most of the guys that work at my shop prefer the cold.....some of them even come in without a jacket most of the time.

Looks like the wind was NOT blowing.....and if that is the case I have to agree....that does look like fun.

Where were you? Is that the ocean in the distance? Will you describe the picture?

hb

hes hunting seals harry

Matt,
Montana is that place where if summer falls on a weekend they have a picnic.
Bring on the palm trees!

harry ...thats eastern gardiner's bay. its the body of water north of where i live. if you go east from greenport you also wind up there. it eventually becomes the block island sound and then the atlantic. so its open to any atlantic fish ... sharks and dolphins have been seen often. its salt water.

the flat gray areas are frozen slush and way out there in the distance is a six foot ice wall . i noticed this river of unfrozen water going out to the ice wall so i went home and got the kayak to go take a look. i also tried "fishing"...but gave up after half an hour without a bite......i have no idea what i expected to catch. my friend tim lee was my "spotter" and took the pictures. before i paddled out he told me...."dont fall in cause i aint going in after you".

fishing?

YEAH! Until ORCA come up for a snack!!!! LOL!

a great white or mako would be far more likely. but seals scare me the most...they like to come over and "play" and they are here all winter. there is one very large one i have had some encounters with. i once had to paddle about 300 yards back to the boat after a surf session with this critter eyeballing me the whole way.

BTW...sorry for hijacking this thread....i was going for humor. anyone want to seriously start organizing a group trip to PR feel free to retake the thread.

Its my thread........and I have no problem with this HIJACK....in fact I find it interesting.

Couldnt help the Orca comment looked very similar to the final scene when Richard Harris got dead in the end!!! LOL!

See below

Harry- Talking about hijacking...This was supposed to be a PM, but I pushed the wrong button and somehow couldn't delete it from the thread. I finally got into the basement of my renter's house and got the two carburetors I took off my gassers. The engines were Chrysler 413's that were upgraded to 440's. They are Carter AFB's,. The numbers I found on them were: 3543S and L2. One has an O-1377, the other O-1431 also on them. If you think they'd work, I'll send them. I would think they should both be rebuilt before using, but you're the better judge of that. Walter

Hey Walter
Thanks for keeping me in mind but since we last talked Carl sent me a pair of AFB take offs from his engines. I just received them Friday.

And Walter, its like you said many times before.....this is a wonderful site and good group of guys.

I will keep you posted.......and will explain this project later......after DeNada splashes.

Harry....though this shot might put "cold" in perspective...

Thats cold!!

Santa wears Columbia Sportswear.

That's good enough for me.....

nice noseicle!!

Holy CRAPOLA! ! ! ! Now that's what I call cold.

I have heard and talked about Snotsicle but honestly until now I have never seen one......LOL

I assume you guys have been snow skiing???

Tomorrow night its gonna get into the 20's here.....tonight the north wind is blowing 30 or so MPH.......drizzled rain all morning.....good news is that we are slowly working our way back to spring and GREENPORT! ! !

Thanks for the pic

hb

Funny thing is that when I was out sking did not feel all that cold....due to the adrenalin factor I guess.

But at the end of the day...still got the forst bite from the little frozen patch under my goggle.,,,,so it really was damn cold.

I'm with you all...Think Greenport and summer!!!

that my friends is why i dont ski!!

i'm pretty avid. hell, i worked at a ski area for six seasons.....but its not always like that. lots of days in the spring with bright sun and a flannel shirt.

I thought a time or two that I would like to Snow Ski. Actually took my children to Boone North Carolina on a skiing trip once

The true and real reason I did not try it was that I was afraid that something may get broken......such as MY LEG! ! !

Did Ice Skate.....that was pretty cool.....once I finished cleaning the Ice with the seat of my pants. Actually I did pretty good at the Ice Skating.

Jo Ann and I went to Cannon Mountain several years ago during the summer. You could ride the chair lift to the top then have dinner at the Lodge. That particular afternoon there were thunderstorms in the area so we had to ride up in a van. During dinner we watched Lightening DOWN BELOW......amazing......not something you see here in the deep south.

hb

That is true we dont see beautiful stuff like that, and Harry that too is the real reason I dont ski, I dont think the Snow would cusion my large self very well. Randal i remeber in high school a budy went sking and came back with the absolute worst sun burn of his intire life(on his face anyway)

matt...where i worked in utah the top half of the mountain had no real cut runs like in the east...just huge "bowls" . in the spring they act as giant sun reflectors and ive seen some amazing sun burns and the rare idiot that skis without sunglasses or goggles....snow blind. ive also seen girls skiing in bikinis.
