Trash bags! That's what my friend that lives in the ghetto in Detroit does. Make it look as worthless as possible.


Worked for me when I was driving a truck with a lockable canopy. That and really ratty looking old duffle bags. A few pieces of obvious junk in plain sight doesn't hurt either. It's not fool proof, but it worked most of the time.

If I ever again venture north of Tennessee, I calling you first, Unsub. I haven't been in really cold weather for 29 years! I wear tee shirts year round.


Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

We get a lot of Canadians who Winter here. I don't know why they don't go on down to Florida, but many stay on Jekyll Island in Winter year after year. You are welcome to visit here if the cold gets to be too much, Lance. Winter is the best time to whack the palmettos. They rule my yard. I should start collecting the berries and selling them to health food stores.

Heck, I need winter survival skills tonight. We're having a freakish cold snap(20's F) and it's 46*F with the heater on in my place. Now, where did I put that really warm sleeping bag? I was wearing a t-shirt today and no jacket. I have no idea what happened, it's crazy.

Thanks HD I would love to make it to Daytona for the race and some of the Vendors but I don't think I would like the crowds. Or a bike trip through a bunch of civil war historical sites.

I complain about the cold but I really don't mind it that much. It is actually a lot of fun to get out on the sleds and you feel like a real viking knee deep in snow. With the right gear you can be pretty comfortable. Some people handle it much better than others. The natives here walk around in just a light jacket in -30 all the time and it does not seem to bother them. These poor Somalians though
had never seen snow ,they were renting a house from a friend and the furnace quit at -50. We went over to fix it and it was not that cold in the house as there were electric heaters but these poor guys looked so awful and sad you would not believe it. Still they could handle heat that drop me like a .308 shell.

Always said you can dress for the cold but not the heat. Not often I get cold but boy the heat sure kills me
