So basically I’ve spent the last 8 days with a helluva head cold and random bouts of sneezing. Has not been fun.
I have literally done zilch in the garage, nor on anything else I wanted to get done while I was off the other week.

It is supposed to be up the 60°F tomorrow but rain all day and then… well… from then out for the next week and pretty much the rest of the weeks I suspect it will be a rarity to ever go over 40°.
I really don’t see myself rebuilding the engine during the coldest parts of January. I think I learned my lesson last year working my ass off in the bitterly freezing garage. And I can’t imagine work on the engine case will be all that create while it is so cold and the metal itself is freezing.
