Enjoying the spring like temps!

It's nice to go for a walk in the woods sans snow!  We had a few days with temperatures in the 60's!
 

 While we were walking in the woods,  we meet up with his big cousin 'Jake'!
 They play well together :)
 Our day lilies are coming up early.  Hope they make it - I'm sure we will have some more cold temps
 Everyone enjoys being outside in the warm weather!
 Of course, Bolts has to find that last pile of snow to play in!

Simple winter weekend

Weather has been warming up, so the snow is melting.  We just had so much of it - it's taking a while to get lost!
 
 So, we walk in the snow - which Bolts loves

 Chris is back in the garage - and taking the Red Coupe apart!  New motor and transmission to start

 The rest of us just chill and wait for spring :-)

Saratoga!

We headed west to Saratoga Springs, NY - for the annual Rolling Bones Garage Night!
Weather was similar to our home - snow!  Fortunately, while we were getting 12 inches in New England, we only dealt with 6 inches in Saratoga.  Much nicer!
We spent our first morning (and the 2nd) at the YMCA.  It is SO nice! 
 
 Roads were a little sketchy as the snow fell most of the day
 I love walking around this cute town - even when it's cold
 and so we drove around some too - the park is beautiful.  We also drove by the race tracks, but I didn't get any good pictures.
 A NY staple - Stewarts convenience stores (and gas)
 Of course, we stopped by the Bones garage every afternoon...
 The first night we had dinner with the most loyal - about 50 of us - at a yummy Italian restaurant.

 Another walk around Saratoga the next morning :)



 and then the garage...

 The new RB book - The Book of Gow is now available!  So we had a signing party - for those who owned the hot rods in the book.  Almost everyone was in attendance!
 That evening we had dinner at the Auto museum (used to be a bottling plant).
 Because... the Rolling Bones hot rods were on display!!







 Our RB hot rod!  It was cool to see it in a museum :).  And next year it (and the other RB cars) will be featured at the Grand National Roadster Show in CA!
 Our final morning - and another walk around town!


 The group had set up some garage tours of other local car guys.  We went to one of the garages

 Then it was back to the RB garage & Garage Night!


Another fun winter weekend!

Snow!

Yes, we got it again!  Around 12 inches.  Fortunately, we were out of town when the storm came through.  Chris' brother checked on our house for us - and built us a nice snowman.
 
 Bolts still loving the cold and the snow

 Guess it's that time of year - waking up almost every morning to a little more white stuff.  Fortunately, warmer weather (40's) is on the horizon, so this will soon be a distant memory
