Just a second here...cold? In Georgia? What...are you kidding?

I don't even light a fire in the shop wood burning stove until it hits 30...and only then if I'm gonna be out there all day. Those guys in Ontario don't put on a jacket until skin sticks to steel.

Trust me...it ain't cold in Georgia.

Winter is my favorite time of year to be running the service truck, fixing all those poor guys who cant use thier skidsteers without heat while snow removing.

I know exactly what you mean. I had to R&R the starter on an old Dodge van in January...in Marquette, MI...laying in the driveway on packed snow/ice. My body got "cold-soaked" so bad, I didn't think I'd ever feel warm again. I still remember that day...and it was thirty-five years ago.

These days I've got a shop with a wood burning stove, stereo, and beer in the fridge. And I lay on top of a sheet of plywood on a concrete floor. Way more better. I could almost say I'm happy...but not quite.
