Over the weekend I took the panel truck out for a drive. The weather was a perfect sixty-eight degrees and sunny, and I took my time driving a long meandering loop through town. The engine chortled contentedly without miss or hesitation, and I felt like I kept the idle lower than I have ever been able to in the past.The idea of getting the truck ready for winter was hard to embrace on such a beautiful day, but I began the process. First I swept out the "stall," then laid down plastic and sealed the back door against wind and weather. Next I need to run some winterizer through the engine and pull the battery inside for the season.
One thing I got ready was a work area so tools are right out front and center. All we need now is a decent space heater and we're all set to put in a few weekends on this thing when winter finally arrives.
