Low to mid 70's. Tshirt, shorts, flip-flops. There's an industrial area near the airport here which is deserted on Sundays & holidays. Good place to burn tire and make noise.
I would be doing the same as you but I can't lift it off by myself.

I'd help you lift it off.. but I'm old n' puny. Heavy "bastids" ain't no fun for two guys. I made a hoist with a cheap electric winch from HARBOR FREIGHT. Don't use it much. I've had the Blazer for a year and a half and only had the top on it for about 3 weeks right after I bought it. It's a fair weather toy.
I'm thinking about going to the Canal St. show in New Smyrna today, weather's supposed to be nice. About 30mi. from you in Deltona and about the same for me. Nice show with a lot of interesting stuff. My only complaint is that you have to get there about noon to get a decent parking space.

Re: Who is still Topless?

Decided to take my dogs up to the mountains by my house on New Years Day.

Turned out great other than a brisk wind. Went up with the top up, took it down on the way back-and now it sits in my garage waiting for some snow to fall in town (probably wont happen).









Of course now that its so cold out, I doubt the top will stretch enough to go back up anyways unless I crank the heat up in the garage. So I'll just leave it off until absolutely necessary.

I would have went to the Canal St. show but I have to work 11:00am-12:00am.
