I don't know - I get a nice warm feeling any time I see a GMC - even covered in that cold white stuff so many of you choose to live with ;~)

I flipped in on the Calgary/Sask. football game on Sun evening and remarked to my wife that it sure looked frigid! Seattle was playing (?) in a dome in New Orleans (outside temp in the 60's)
Love the pic of your coach.

Good thing my wife and I are heading to Abilene Tx. to take possession of that 76 stretch that you put us on to.

Dan you bought that red and white one, I cant wait to see that one in person, Will have to look you up on our way through, Just might host a roadrace at the Penticton oval again just to get out that way again, until then enjoy our weather we are send you, It's -41 with the wind chill right now.
But as we Canadians always say it's only cold out when your car won't start! and yes it gets dam hot in the summer here to.

Geez Dan, I thought you'd be out harvesting grapes for ice wine. Sounds like you have the weather for it.LOL. What am I laughing about we were at 12F last night. Keeping busy keeping the hummingbird feeders thawed. Do I have to much time on my hands?
Looking foward to seeing your new coach!

Randy...The cool thing is you won't be far from where we will store the coach through the winter !!!
Mt sister lives in a subdivision (with an air strip) within spit'n distance of snoqualme (sp) falls in Falls City.
I'll call you when we get into your neck of the woods.
(about two weeks or so)

Dan who just wants to run away from the snow which came two moths early...average high should be +4...but it's -9 as I type this.

Be sure to let me know when you are going to be in the neighborhood! Want to see your new coach and will buy you lunch and a pint at the Snoqualmie Cafe.

Randy...We are in Fall City as we speek..! I want to call you as we realise that taking the coach home to Kelowna is not an option at this time and we think that leaving the coach in the Seatle area is the best thing we could do. I will call you at the (Black List) # to night.

Dan
