Car washing! Love it! Back in California I used to wash my car every single weekend. Tried to keep that habit going when I escaped to Vermont...only the first time I tried it in sub-zero weather the chamois stuck to the fender and stayed frozen there several weeks! It froze so solid it didn't even flap in the wind as I drove down the Interstate! My wife found it hysterically funny. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Pete, just make sure they're laughing with ya. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

And the forecast has changed. Now, it's for Toozdee evenun and 5-8 inches.

Good thing I'm boilin down some maple sap. Can finally do that drizzle hot syrup in the snow thing. The snow here is prolly fulla flurocarbons though. I'll ignore it this time so I can say I did it. What's a few ppb heavy metals and carbon. We're all carbon anyway.

Hey Doug when you do that sugar on snow stuff get you some really good and sour dill pickels. Man will they clear out the sugar taste and give you a contrast. Personally I prefer a good cup of coffee/tea sweetened with maple syrup (idea for Pete) and a big homemade donut.
Take care

My wife, a canuck actually, says that a lot of people will portion out some of the boiling syrup-to-be when it begins to turn amber, and just drink it, like maple tea, she calls it.

Funny about the pickles, a Russian friend of mine took me to a party once. They served about 20 different kinds of vodka, in test tube beakers of all things. The tables were also loaded with sour dill pickles. When I inquired about them he told me that all Russians know that Russian vodka is the worst. Take a jolt and cleanse the pallet with a pickle is the way to do it!

After a while of this, you can't taste the pickle anymore and really wouldn't care if you could! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
