Just ordered sunshade on e-bay

[HomeBrew2]

Yeh, it's been a great shade for me. I really like to get at least a half hour of work everyday when I get home from work in the winter and a few hours in the summer and the shade has really made it comfortable. I don't mind the rain or 100°+ sun with that shade. It's a good shade at a good price point. Period.
Cheers!

Homebrew,
Interested in how you use the shade in winter. Do you modify it so that it becomes a de facto home-made cab? I was thinking that might come in handy. (Also another way to prove its value, right?). I truly know that is a battle I will not win, but I am tenacious.

I live in the foothills above the Great central valley of Kalifornia. The valley is technically a desert, ie, ~10" of rain/yr. I may get 20-40" per year in the hills. Low temp is ~15° (once every 10 years). Snow comes ~4" every 5 yrs or so. We have no winter here, to speak of. I believe we do pretty well in the summer dept. though. So in winter, I like having what rain might come just roll off the shade. Though after a full winter with my shade, I never remembered that value (that is a function of the amount of beer I drink) but, felt SO COOL tooling around in the rain and not getting a direct hit from it. I like watching it just drip off the edges and laugh ... I am single and insane so your milage may vary /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
Check out a search on TBN for those who have bought the ~$100 golf cart rain cover from NorthernTool. It's supposed to fit right over a shade and provide a nice cheap winter "cab".
Cheers!
