PLEASE send us a little wind chill. I had to run the AC last night. It 
was too hot to sleep even with the windows open.

T.O.M. in hot Houston.

I just tossed down some scraps and got the 4x4 pickup in to the rear wheels.  Then today I found enough gravel to make a temporary approach for the other door and got both cars under the roof.  They have to come out in the same order as they go in, but it will beat scraping ice tomorrow.
