I think it's supposed to stop snowing and raining here someday soon . . .

I am so sick of Winter! Here in Albany, NY we've had another four inches of snow the last few days. We're supposed to keep getting it through the end of the week. So far our grand total for the year is over 100 inches. Third snowyist year on record. We got our first snow the week of Halloween.

Bring on the Spring! I want to drive my new 70 B topless.

If it isn't one thing, it's another. I've had great top down drivng weather down here, but the B has been laid up in the shop for the past month or so....oh well, some day......

Funny thing is that it started raining 5 min. after we parked her!! Just lucky I guess!!

I'm taking off work early today so I can zoom around topdown in the 79 B. It's already in the 70s, and not a cloud in the sky. Wheeeee!

This time of year we all itch to get the summer toys out.

It's going to be a while till mine is ready. Close, but a while.

Too bad. I sure could use some of Gary's 'Stress Relief'

Winter yesterday, spring today!

Took the Subaru to work, came home at lunch and got the B. Couldn't wait to leave work and tool around the countryside. The top's not down yet, but maybe this weekend, after I give it a good washing.

Bring on the sun!

Stress relief is good, unless it is tooo much and comes in a bottle!! GOOD LUCK Graham!!

Took the little car out for a brief drive today... NICE!
Chilly, though. (The top is in the trunk, and will only come out if I get caught in the rain.)
Still no gauges as I haven't built my Wrabilizer yet.

Does anybody besides me do laps around traffic circles? :-D

We have sun in the morning just to fool you, then rain in the afternoon. I guess I could take the class out for a lesson in putting up a top. (Children are impressionable, teaching is a subversive activity, and I am growing tomorrow's MGB owners). But then, we also had snow.

Traffic circles in Bellingham?? I missed them!!

There are less than a dozen in the whole town, and a few of them are within ten or so blocks of my house.

What is a traffic circle?

Here's a few in Portland:

Oh! Based on Roman/French/Italian intersections. We don't have those here. It takes forever to get from here to wherever the way it is. The closest thing to a traffic circle would be two or more good old boys cutting cookies in the snow or mud. And personally, I prefer a solid figure 8.

I have never seen them Iggy!! Where are you??

Apr 02, 2003 20:50:33

I thought you meant 'round-a-bouts' !!

Apr 02, 2003 21:47:19

Within a few blocks of I-5 & Alabama

(well, they're little round-a-bouts...)
