... but if you start complaining about ANYTHING (and I do mean anything— traffic, government, and especially your taxes) that’s where we’re going to have to draw the line.
A recent study of the overall rate of taxation in the 50 states and DC put the Golden State at 44th overall (meaning there are 43 states with higher

My son and I were out yesterday on a sunny and 5 degree celsius day with toques (hats) and gloves.
I was out on a cloudy day today for about 45 minutes in 3 deg C. and had to turn the heat down in the car. Espar now rules for me....
Were there is fire there is heat... ... glad you like that gas heater they do work well and get you heated up pretty fast.
I was out for a spin as well today trying to get one in before the snow falls and the salt hits the road. Once the salt hits the car does not come out of hiding till the street sweeper hits the street in spring. Hopefully early April this year.
We took a back road ride today before the crappy weather hits this weekend. 45 F sunny and windy. Hats , gloves , top down, and the nifty 12 volt plug in electric blanket that we picked up at the Carlisle raffle this spring.
Thank you to the person who donated the blanket for the raffle. It works better than I would have expected.
Oh yeah. Winter storage.
Seafoam , Battery Tender, top up, windows in , and covered. I also use mint oil packets inside the car . engine compartment and frunk . And mouse traps. Lots of mouse traps . So far so good.

Only question, with or without cheese? Does the mint oil help at all?
I really like Canada, especially in the summer, but the sledding is not as good in the summer...
