Hey while you’re in the snow belt you ought to get ya a snowmobile and go for a ride. It’s a ton of fun, nothing you’ll ever experience in Florida. Heck it’s a rarity in Pennsylvania at this point.
Frozen water toys take precedence when it’s cold, however I got the sewing machine brought up to my standard. Replaced the laminate top with butcher block and added a servo motor. Now it looks nice enough to move out of the garage and into the house. I’ll have a few projects to complete to get...
