How did you make out with the storm Frank? Any word from Kev?
i hope people are starting to winterize. i think it dipped below freezing yesterday. i wouldnt be concerned about drive oil or motor oil yet but at least the water systems (motor and accesories).

i went down to hayes haven last night to drain both and replace with antifreeze. will do drives and motor oils this weekend.

Justin it has to be in the mid twenties for about three nights in a row before you have to start worrying about a block freezing. There are obv other variables but that's a rule of thumb

"winterize meeee"

"winterize meeee"

"winterize meeee"

"*****, shut up, it's going to be 60 tomorrow, I CAN STILL USE YOU..."

The voices in your head dictate when to close her up....she's like a nagging wife...

20* 3 days will freeze your blocks....you're still ok...
