To all in cold climes....
Stay warm and dry if you can. The orange stuff can even lift the mastic used
to adhere oak parque flooring from the 50's. ICK! Roadster content: If
nobody has anything for me to do, I might just get the springs primed this
weekend.

I heartily second the recommendation to use a citrus-oil based cleaner -
they are super aggressive on any petroleum based 'problem', yet won't give
you lung cancer, or contaminate a bazillion gallons of ground water, or
contribute to ground-level smog, like many (most) of the distilled solvents
will.
That's my green plug for the day.
Roadster content: Arrangements were made last night for a small portion of
a Canadian roadster to go on vacation to Australia, to be grafted into one
of it's Australian cousins....kind of like retiring to a warmer climate!
Speaking of temperature, this morning the thermometer outside the kitchen
window indicates about -4 degrees F (or -20 degrees C to everyone outside
the USA)......brrrrrrr!
