Started Both Studes Today

Jan 24, 2007 2 Replies

Well, the melt is slow, but sure. Got home early today, and chipped the ice bank away from the back doors of the shop. Opened up both ends of the shop, and started the Studes. Let 'em run up to operating temperature, and shut 'em down. :-(



They both wanted to go for a run, but I don't think either one would make it to the main drive, due to the sleet still in place. And, while the roads are nice a clear of ice now, they still contain tons of salt. In the main garage, where the daily drivers reside, are little piles of salt granules on the floor, where the sludge melted from the DDs.



I wanna DRIVE a Stude, and soon! I'm getting cabin fever! (So are they, methinks.)


I feel for ya..... Am in Chicago and it was 12 degree's here last night. Brought me cold weather stuff from home, but Georgia cold weather stuff is only used here in April..... BBBBbbbbrrrrrrrrr... Jeff (My teeth are chattering and my nipples are hard..) Rice

Yeah, but ya can't reach me, eh?

Yes, and your Georgia cold weather stuff is left over Florida cold weather stuff, eh?

Too much information.

One of my buddies drove his '55 C*evy to coffee this morning. Chastised me for not having one or the other Stude out. "The ice is gone from the streets, " sez he. "Yep," sez I, "And, each and every one of those puddles you are driving through is 45% salt!"
