I have regularly worked in -40F with a 40+ mph wind. (its a LOT of fun
replacing a blown carrier bearing on a F300 mounted drill rig when its
that cold....)

I replaced a car battery in July. It was 110 or 113 and I was in a
shadeless Checker asphalt parking lot and managed to drop a socket down into
the engine compartment. Somewhere near the exhaust manifold if I recall
correctly. Cold is for wimps,....

Is that like pulling the tranny on a pickup in the middle of an
asphalt parking lot, just outside of Bakersfield in late september,
and watching the jack stands sink into the blacktop?

Been there, done that...

The article I posted is about what is called a Super Winter, one that
happens every hundred years or so..which we are over due for.
The evidence of them historically make the worst winter anyone of us
can remember..sorta balmy.

No 220-pound thug can threaten the well-being or dignity of a 110-pound
woman who has two pounds of iron to even things out. Is that evil?
Is that wrong? People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence,
they're begging for the rule of brute force, when the biggest, strongest
animals among men were always automatically "right". Guns end that,
and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make
it work.
