Winter is here

Freezing rain, sleet and snow are heading into my area tonight and tomorrow. I usually use the first event such as this to signal the end of the season. We had a dusting of snow on Saturday morning and some towns put down salt. I view that as the sign that it is time to put the Mustang into storage.

Today I topped off the tank, added some fuel stabilizer and pulled the battery and put in on a maintainer. I still have a few things to do but I don’t see the car leaving the driveway until spring. It still needs a wash before I can cover it and I would like to do an oil change.

I just checked my mileage on the fill up and calculated that I drove it almost exactly 1,500 miles in the last 12 months. Not bad considering that in the last couple of months it does not feel like I had it out much at all.

I’m sure I will find things to keep me busy over the winter…
