I am in Florida but got no flights in today. Rained all day with 20 mph. So worked in the garage on the motorcycles. Looked at 2 more build projects, but not starting on anything yet. When I lived in the Northeast we lived on a resovoir. I can remember starting the plane in the basement to get the motor warm. Then walking out onto the ice and getting some flights in. Back in the 70's I maidened a Sig Hummer in the middle of a snow storm. The day I finished it was snowing bad, but I wanted to fly it anyway. By the time it was 100ft away I could hardly see it. Got 3 flights in as I remember. We don't realy have heating costs here, turn the electric on a few days in February, but the AC for the rest of the year bumps your electric to $300 a month.
