I heard today that it is warmer here than it is in Florida.  Sweet!  I must
remember to water in the trees.

Should I assume that the yellow icicle forest is a major tourist attraction?

In all our snowmobile manuals there's a warning "Don't eat yellow
snow."

WTF is a snowmobile?

Oh, I know, they're heart donors for my SCCA F5 car.

I had to look up F500. The closest thing we had up here was what we
called Formula Four (if my aging brain isn't tricking me). They were
like a go-kart on steroids with a 2-stroke bike engine and
10"wheels/tires like a Mini Cooper S would race on. They were a lot of
fun. Not sure if I would like the no suspension deal although that and
the clutch thingy would make the operation more affordable. Do you
throw a lot of belts?

Not really.  Although some people do throw the final drive, either a
toothed belt or (more dramatically) a chain.  But the cars are
actually utterly reliable.  Watch Speed next Saturday, 1pm EST. The F5
Runoffs.  The only failure there was a cut down tire or, more likely,
a broken rim (according to the driver).

Setting the CVT is somewhat of a black art.  No two cars have the same
setup, but the times for the top runners are real close.  And lately
we've been running close to, or quicker than, the Formual Ford times.
For a boatload less money. (like $8000 for a car vs $20,000).

I'd like to get a look inside a clutch. We went through hell racing
sleds back in the early 70's trying to get the alignment and pressure
right. It was just trial and error, more error than trial. We'd
experiment with fractionally longer and shorter belts by borrowing
them off other sleds. Occasionally we'd get lucky and find one that
actually worked. Chains were always a problem too. The auto tensioner
would break it's spring and then the chain would eat thru the case.

Faster than Fords? Wow. A couple of friends of mine were FF champs in
Canada at different times. Did you ever see a Ferret FF car?

Ha ha.

Watering "in" the trees is a quaint custom we have here in the wild west.
In late fall before the snow flies and the ground freezes, we give the trees
a good watering so that they'll make it through the winter.  This is
especially important in areas like my home that are subject to Chinooks.

   Easy dive, started with about 1500 psig in the dubs, did a 50 / 14 at
124 ffw max, water was 74 deg F or 23 deg Canadian, teeshirt & shorts.

You missed a good op there Joe. I started reading and I had already
filled in Canucks where you actually wrote wind.   8)

In summer, or when you're weary 'bout wearing the banana,

Never wear a wetsuit when yer flatulent. The constant rolling over
