The gulf stream heats our region! Without the stream we would hunt mammoth so far in the north !
Lake Michigan moderates us in the fall but in spring keeps us a bit cooler. Within two weeks we will be totally green and this winter was incredibly mild with stretches of warm weather that allowed me to get quite few cars out for thermal cycling.

Maybe the frost dates provide more tech for you farmer types
I'm not quite that far north and have about 15 day longer growing season. Fortunately, I'm a cold weather person with major interests in winter sports like Iceboating, Skiing and Fat tire Biking to name a few.
In my lexicon of bad behaviors and personal quotations, I have a personal philosophy of "It's not he who has the most toys that wins, It's he who plays with the most toys that wins".
To get the thread back on topic I offer the following...
The Bee's are out and thriving now with six Flow hives and six standard Langstroth in the Apiaries.
Yesterday I also cleaned, treated for mites and revamped and installed the honey collecting supers on them than raced over to the garage to work with the PDR guy.
Here is what a freshened apiary looks like!
In garage before tiny dent was removed...
Lots of stuff in my garage and sorry again about the diversion of non 928 related bees in garages...
No 928 at the moment. Once I'm "retired" I'll pick up a GT or GTS in the next couple years hopefully. I need to move and get more parking space. For those wondering, the Miata is my track car, yes that's a Golf R, the Cayenne is the tow pig, and that's an '03 Cobra under the plastic.
Couple of hundred porcelain signs...
I've been collecting them since I was a kid, first one was a Michelin that I found in my parents garage covering a hole in the wooden floor. Been at it for five decades. Who would have thought they would become collectable?

Forgive my ignorance since I haven't been active on the forum in a while, but what's the story with your two cars hiding among your amazing sign collection? Race/track car and the white car has some pretty massive fenders!

Welcome back Jon!
The White car is the Louis Ott development mule (6.4 L stroker 603 hp) and the red car is Constantine's old Coca Cola race car/development beast. There is an 87 S4 5-speed with 6,3xx miles. the only GTE, the only U.S. XX8 GT, a GT and a 94 GTS "Exhibition" car amidst a fog of other bits of insanity. I have to post something on my Car Cave thread so you can catch up there. Here is one photo for a taste of the insanity...
