A car in France with AC? Mon Dieu!
Record high of 72F yesterday. Very windy though. Still T-shirt weather. Wohoo!!!
LOL, yeah I know. You should see some of the hoopdees people drive around here. My cousin-in-law had a tiny, tiny Citroen from (I think) the 70s that she let us “borrow” when we came to visit for the first time. The rear view mirror was in the glove compartment and we were told to “just hold it up whenever you need to see what’s behind you.” We never actually got the thing out of the parking lot, though - before they left on vacation they didn’t tell us that the shifter knob had been replaced with one from an entirely different model of car that had a completely different shifter configuration.
FWIW, however, this is a French brand: http://www.pgo.fr/fr/modeles/modeles-speedster.html
That’s my “win the lottery” car.
That’s a beautiful car. Here is my ‘win the lottery’ car

My “win the lottery car” is the same old truck I drive now. Why replace what ain’t broke? ;D
I’m really enjoying the Feb. warm up here in Des Moines. Looking forward to mid-60’s on Thursday. It will get rid of some snow and recharge us for the March “surprise” snow storms which are typically 16+ inches of wet, heavy, gawd awful snow that just about kills you to move it. Even with a 2 stage snow blower. Live in the moment when it’s warm.
I even dug out the Weber Kettle on Sunday and made steaks. Mmmmm, charcoal grilled beef for the first time in months!

I like the tesla a lot, but for now this one is my lottery car . . .

We do everything on skates which makes sex on a waterbed very dangerous.
I’m guessing it’s a frozen water bed?

I suspect you’re talking about a 2CV4… I love French “hoopdees”. Growing up in Europe in the 60’s 70’s I drove and wrenched on many of them…Citroen 2cv4, DS 19/21/23 Simca 1000/1100 Renault 4, 8, 16…I’m sure I’m missing a few…
Getting a 2CV4 to play with in the US has long been on my wish list…
Giving me spring fever already.
My RyeIPA was ramping up to 66 last night,
so I had to open the bedroom window for the night to cool her down a bit. :
That your S-189 lager beer??
Nah, different bedroom; that Baltic is still burbling at 52, although it might be time for a move.
This time of year
I am lucky enough to have carboys stashed in various places across the house,
taking advantage of different microclimates.
Umm, like that Simarillo in dryhop hanging off the table over that one baseboard heater that does not quite shut off all the way…
Strategery man. ;D
Snow is melting fast.
Time to clean up the front lawn of winter carnage the dogs have left behind,
before the next storm on Thursday covers it all back up again. :-\
Last Thursday it was -1F here(-18F wind chill), tomorrow it should hit 90F.
Pinnah, that is what I do but at this time, you have me beat…nice brewing!
That really is stunning. :o
Shoot, above average snowpack + momentary soaring of temperatures = the local news already doing stories on spring flooding!
“Who lives in the danger areas…live report from Stew next!”
So it averages about 45, same as here
