I hate this time of year !!

[Supermario]

The fall season is nice in my neck of the woods with all the maple trees in spectacular color but the sad thing.... It means winter is coming and outdoor trucking is over. With highs of 32 and leaves on the ground 3 inches thick, it's time to bring the rigs in the house..
Not only that but after all the fun I had this summer working in the garage on my rig , how I just got my workspace and trucks area working good....and now it ends. I got no heat in my garage ( guess I should have installed a furnace instead of work on the trucks all summer eh? ) Now I'm back to working in the house on the kitchen table again .
Some of you may be wondering, what's the big deal ?..... Happens every year.
Well this is my first seasonal cycle. I bought and built my first truck last January. This is my first time having to put the toys away so to speak. Sure I can drive in the house but.... After the Clifford show and the Indy show.....it just ain't the same!
I'm sure there's lots of guys out there feeling my pain...... Let's start a group to deal with the winter blahs .... We can call it..." The RC snowbelt support group " lol


BTW... Next summer project.... Install the furnace in the garage!!!

I'm thinking a bears game and a visit to Chicago is in my future.

You know those of us in the So-Cal desert have it hard Summertime we have to hide from the heat of over 100 degrees, but in the autumn, winter, and spring we have to endure the 'freezing' temperatures of 65 and 70 degrees

hey mario i feel your pain .i go into withdrawal..in fact i have convinced the security guards at my wifes work to let me go in the underground parking garage sometimes especially if barb is working overtime on the weekends and run my trucks .didn't know they sit and watch them on the moniters.it would be great to have a place we big guys can go to during the winter months and run..i believe the next house and property we buy will have more land and a huge garage for big zeus and little zeus and his friends...heat and food...i would never leave the place

I'm just having fun with you guys/gals Here in So-Cal, we have to endure the weather too From June to September we have 110 to 115 degree days and then from October to February we have to watch for rain storms, followed by what's called "Santa Ana Wind's"- gusting winds that can reach speeds ranging from 80 to 130 mph

I really feel the pain, just in other ways
