Default I changed mine on Monday afternoon after seeing the rest of the week forecast...

...and even though it was upper 40s, I am glad I did it then instead of a day like today!!!

Default I switched to the M2's last Sunday since it was a crappy weekend anyway...

For my surprise there wasn't too many cars, and I was back on the road within the hour :O

Last year I waited too long and it was a nightmare to find a place for days when they announced the first snowfall.

WHERE IS THE D@MN SNOW NOW?!?

Default ...none of which have snows on them yet. I also have two set of tires that aren't even mounted.

Plenty to do, no time to do it.

...I guess I should rake my leaves too.

Default Changing this weekend. To bad my garage doesn't have heat. What's a good portable, inexpensive and

safe heat source I could get for winter work in the garage?

Default This is what I use.

I heat a 600 SF area that has two garage doors, three windows and a couple of "people doors." You can run it on the same tank your propane grill uses, but a larger tank is nicer. The gas lasts a surprisingly long time.<ul><li><a href="http://www.mrheater.com/productdetails_extended.asp?catid=42&amp;id=23">Mr . Heater is a funny name, but a great company.</a></li></ul>
