....  when it's -11 degrees and you tell your co-workers "It's not too bad outside."

I spent the day repairing broken water mains, just like every day.  It was sunny today, and the weather didn't really turn nippy until after dark.  All I know, it's 22 hours until the banquet!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Friends, beer, trophies, lies... What else is there?  If only we could get a grudge race going between me and Edgar, everything would be perfect.  Linen carts to the pool, anyone?

Broken water mains - I seen them being repaired and that is a really yucky job.   Frozen ground, water everywhere, ice, yucky weather   :P :-[ (you're not on call this weekend?).

If you have that linen cart race, be sure to get pictures!

I had to get the heat gun out to unfreeze my locks to my trailer to try to take apart my R6... :o

LOL!!!!

Paul installed a 36" wide steel door into our house.  Now the bikes are inside.   In fact, as I am sitting here typing, I can lean back and rest my head on the tire of the SV.

I used to bring bikes into the house, but that gets to be a pain.

One of the first things I did after buying our house was to install a furnace and air conditioner in the garage (no cars allowed). Insulated the garage, purchased insulated doors and keep the temp at about 50F during the winter. Fortunately the garage already had a lined cinder block chimney.
