Tomorrow we're switching him to 0-40 synthetic and doing the valves.
Whoa! Was it really that cold up in Rochestor today?

It's been that cold at night down in Ithaca but wow that's just terrible especially during the day.

Oddly enough my rough start has disappeared as of today. I even left her outside the garage for 5 hours to see if I would have any trouble. Fire up right away. :-/ I know one of these days she's going to cold start strand me.
