EDITOR’S CORNER

I don’t know about you, but I’ve about had it with the snow. Even though my car is tucked snuggly away in a heated garage, I still must trek a short distance out of the house to the garage. Due to the drifting of the snow I don’t make the trek that often. I tell myself it would be worth it to get dressed up in my arctic gear to get out to the garage and maybe check on a few things – like the battery trickle-charger, etc. – and maybe perform some of the maintenance projects I said I would accomplish over the winter. Wishful thinking… There always seem to be projects in the house that also needs my attention and guess what – I don’t need to suit-up to address these issues

Oh well, Spring is around the corner and maybe I can get a few things done before the Spring Tune-up.

See you on the road…
