    My excuse was the really cold weather here North of North Dakota, but the Rev usually only gets liquid sunshine - they even call it the Sunshine Coast. He dances between the raindrops. I don't have a mancave, yet, at least not for cars. I have a good woodshop in the basement, though. But when it gets real cold, there's nothing like snuggling up and taking the chill off. :evilsmile:
