Getting a little cold here. *16 for a low, and snow forecast for
tomorrow. Be glad when all this Christmas crap is done, and the weather
starts to warm up a little. *Went up to the cabin today to check on a
break in. Snowshoed half a mile in 19 degree balminess. *Window was
only removed, nothing taken.

Nothing there of value to take. *Yard sale furnished, and we never
leave any guns or money or jewelry. *So, we put signs out stating that.

Ready to start some boat mods, and upholstery, woodwork, and carpeting.

I love this sort of weather, but here it only got into the low 40s last
night.

It was about 25F here this morning and we had a few inches of snow
yesterday.
Found my windshield wipers frozen to the windshield so I turned on a neat
accessory I haven't had in past vehicles..
It's a heating element in the lower windshield just to free up wiper
blades. That great option plus the heated mirrors and back window
defroster all worked as advertized. *Must admit...this RAV4 is well
equipped for a 'basic model'.

In this part of the world, when we hit our windshield wipers, they go all
to pieces, getting used only once a year or so. *Today is rainy, and I bet
the cheap auto stores are busy selling wiper blades, and people installing
them on the spot.

I never understood it. *Repeatedly putting cheap blades on there, when you
can go to NAPA and get Anco or similar and they last for many years. *A
few bucks more, but per year cheaper.

Up here we have both the winter and summer version of wipers.
The winter ones have that rubber boot over the frame part to help keep ice &
snow off.- Hide quoted text -

Wow.....that's very special. Did you go get the winter ones for your
son and put them on for him?
