I'll be putting my stock seats back in for the winter months - need seat heaters, etc.
As for passing the time, I get to go to Ft. Lauderdale for some meetings with a client. After that, time really flies as tax season will be in full swing.
By the time I can catch my breathe, it's spring when wandering minds start to think about brakes, suspensions, tires, ...

Absolutely correct! Skiing really does share a lot of the physics involved with performance driving. Pluse, t will keep you in shape for the tack.
On a lazier note, do we have any shooters out there? An RTR night at the trap range would be really fun. And for all you pistol folks, French Creek Outfitters has an indoor range. So for $12/hr(plus ammo) it is a really cheap way to get rid of pent up aggression.
Sorry Mike, small caliber only.

Chris,
Small caliber, to me, means .308
I do have a couple of 45's and a a few 22's..... I could very easily be talking into joining you guys for an outing at the range.

Classic Pistol in nearby Bucks County is very nice. They permit rifles, too.
If there is no rain on Friday I hope to get out to the French Creek outdoor range to try out a new toy.

Chris:
Lower Providence Rod and Gun has Four trap houses going on Friday nights. And it is only three dollars a round.
Might be fun to get some folks uot for a night shoot before it gets too cold. Do you know anywhere where we could trap shoot during the day?

I think French Creek permits trap, too, but I have not shot there before. I need to sight in my shotgun--it's been a loooong time since I've shot.
