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.

Anco blades get torn to pieces the first rain out around here. I have
found that sometimes a side brand does better since none last any longer
than others. I am in CT.- Hide quoted text -

I buy nothing but Bosch triple edge now. They are the cleanest wiping
blades there is. After the first ones, I'll never buy anything else.
But then again, I only have to put up with frost or snow on the
windshield about once a year!
