It's reading 16 degrees in the shade here now. The weather channel says 8 but that's probably from the Eastern Passage station right on the harbour. Going for a drive shortly.

Stay safe with the summers.
Haven't had the car out for almost a week

Maybe you'll get lucky like we did last evening.....The forecast was for 10-15cm of snow and 10-15mm of rain.....We got lucky and just a trace of snow and some rain.
G/L man.....It's a real drag isn't it....

We've had some up and down weather here in Calgary, but now things are looking up. It was dry yesterday, 10 C, today, and we are expecting 15 C on Saturday. If the baby isn't born between now and Saturday, it looks like I will be enjoying a few cruising sessions in the Z.

BTW, if anyone is looking for a kick-**** dSLR, I am selling one in the marketplace section. Have only owned it since December, and am looking to use the proceeds to fund the purchase of a camcorder.

Hopefully that nicer weather will come to us next Joel. We were lucky we got some snow last night, but it dissappeared today.
My summers are going on this weekend for sure.

That Nikon D70 you are selling would be an awesome camera to have. Thats a nice camera for someone out there.
Make sure you take some pics of the little one for us here when the magic day arrives.

I'm officially pi$$ed off along with you .

My summers along with my torque wrench and sockets have been sitting at my side door, waiting to be installed. My wife is getting pi$$ed off too because she has to walk all around my stuff at the side door. I'm not moving them though, they are staying there till they get installed .

EDIT: OOPS, I made a typo, sorry Ian I changed it above in bold
