Streets were pretty much cleared of snow so my FitS did ok... But in some areas batches of snow kept me awake.

So this am its a whoppin, 1F outside again and as you all guessed, my windows are frozen on the inside of my house.

Going up to 20F today, and a steaming 32F by tomorrow. Its going to be sunny and dry this week but streets are going to be all slosh and wet so I guess ill pass washing the Fits until temps are back below 25F.

So, went to the dog store twice today... Its close by and since 5F outside my FitS would not get a chance to warm up. Which meant I could potentially die inside my car due to cold while going through the drive thru...

So, went down the road in 3rd at 4200 RPM. Hahaha! was kinda toasty by the time I got my dogs and burger.

Got home, noticed my cheeeze fries were missing so went out again. I'm sure got all the moisure out of the exhaust too. Hahaha

ive been working around the clock for the last 6months or so... it's insane.

for those of you in socal and into musical instruments, make sure to check out the NAMM show this week at the anahiem conv. center. man, if i still lived in socal i wouldve definitely attend this year.

looking forward to wat Roland releases...

anyway, no car things today again. but i did see a huge bird crappage mess on my GE so asked the wife to stick the car through a carwash today...

man my FitS was terribly clumsy this am... shifter very notchy going into 3rd and 4th, almost grinding, clutch shudder worsening (temps are near freezing mark which is high for us in january), and the pos honda locking gas cap completely froze up so could not unlock it for almost 5min. i hard to spray deicer 5x very liberally before it would unfreeze. wat a POS.

and im standing out there in the cold at the gas station looking like a fool trying to unlock my gas cap while the station attendant comes over telling me 'righty tighty, lefty loosely.' i told him to f-off.

i really deserve better treatment from my car than this... going to look at new commuters again.

got a free OS update for my VPiano from roland today so going to install that tonight. not much else fun stuff from them from NAMM but it looks like i can expect an expansion board for piano by summer-NAMM.

otherwise, no car stuff planned for today. my buddy at work is looking at getting a new CRV. those mini-suv's are cool. im not sure wat im going to get yet...
