I have to note that garage door imagery is a highly underrated form of art.

“Honey, the garage is covered in trompe l’oil”
A fragrance for women, if there is the Eifffel tower in it?
Annual X-Mas/NYE dirt bike vacation in Mexico!

Steve the Unremarkable White Pickup transformed once more into alter-ego MightySteve as we stuffed a DRZ400 and a TW200 in with all the gear. Sold as a half ton truck and registered at under 4000 pounds, Steve tipped the local truck scale at nearly 5700 pounds as we set out for Mexico. Steve clocked a record 17 MPG (that’s a record high, BTW) on the I-5 South in this trim, and negotiated the awful canyon road fully loaded, and made it home. Mighty Steve; 305 TBI, 3.08 gears, brakes rated up to 6400 lbs, zero fux to give.
Steve interrupted some vacationers taking glamor shots of their 4-door Jeep going through the water crossing to get into the camp. Steve is a 26 year old 2WD long wheelbase pickup with no locking diff and all season radials. No one took a picture of Steve crossing the river.
We partied, we rode dirt bikes, we sat in hot springs and washed the ibuprofen down with Tecate. Peace on Earth, good swill to man.
I once had a guy by a couple of photos from me to make massive inside garage door murals
Very cool, much better than the expected supercar painted on the door.
I was a bite late with getting my boy to kindergarten today, but at least there was some daylight already to take photos of frost on the inside of the windshield. This is what happens when you don’t air out the warm air after driving, of course.

(cell phone quality though)
That kind of thing is quite common in Chicago this year https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9abff22e0ba3406b7319417b2a3416aee317eb7856541055a078c65d2f8a3b0c.jpg
Looks like somebody aired more than just hot air…or a lot of it.
We made an exhibit about this, it’s one of my favorites.
This is fantastic! Have to show it to my kids. I got to watch the process in reverse this morning, as my heater was trying to project the apocalypse on the windshield. Plain old drops of water are just not that beautiful.
That’s much prettier than what i found this morning.. there was nearly as much ice on the inside as there was on the outside. Can’t help but bring a lot of snow in with the chair, which obviously then melts to make the inside humid, and then icy.
This is what was left when leaving work today. Bonus points for identifying the car outside.

BMW Z3? Do you have a Webasto heater?
So close…Z4.
I do have a Webasto, had it installed when the car was new. That was more than 13 years ago though, and it hasn’t worked for at least five years.
Come on dear can you finally clean out the garage? It’s a dump.
“There’s gotta be thirty votes someplace!”
“There isn’t.”
“Bullshit! There’s gotta be somebody!”
“There isn’t.”
“What about Storch?”
“Storch is a no.”
“Wagner?”
“No.”
“Sobel? Clark? — Not that Clark, the one from Indiana.”
“That one too, sir.”
“Bowman is thirty votes away. It’s a remarkable vehicle that for the first time has a legitimate chance. He deserves every opportunity—”
“He? You meant ‘it,’ didn’t you, sir? You meant the remarkable vehicle deserves every opportunity.”
“Lewis, shut up.”
It took me a while but I finally understood that post.

Storch?

He already said, Storch is a no!
Well of course Storch was a no. The dude was flying.
Storch?

In car-related news, it’s cold enough that my car alarm goes off every time I unlock the car. Must remember to lock it manually to keep the alarm off.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature: Meant to find it under acres of evenly distributed snow?
