I have finally put my planning for Carlisle into full gear. I have been ramping up for this through the first two weeks of March. I registered my car and did the updates to this site to make the planning official. These things always take a little longer than...

The build date on my car is March 10 which makes for 15 years today. At the end of this month I will have owned it for 6 years. Wow, time flies. Over the past weekend, I started to think about getting it ready for the driving season. We...

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...
