After too many decades of wrenches freezing to my fingers, I finally built a
shop. Now, regardless of how the winter winds may howl, my toy cars never
drop below 50 degrees.
Of course, one of my buddies was over the other day telling me that my shop
should be cooled in summer, too. OK, the recent run of hot weather (a
Minnesotan considers it really hot weather when the overnight low does not
go below 80), the shop is sitting at 86 right now, so maybe he is on to
something. But he works in the shop more than I do this time of year, and
maybe it is worth the all that expensive electricity for him.
Oh, and our season does not start until April. We still managed a freak
snow-out for our novice school.
