Default Re: wind!

I was looking at the wind forecast for different parts of the country and being winter, it looked like the Phoenix Arizona was among the best places to live. Sunny, highs near 80 and winds calm to 3 mph all week. I live in Ohio and right now I am looking outside at 30 degrees, snow ,and winds gusting close to 35 mph. It sucks here in the winter so I know how you feel.

I may have this 30% Extra done by then, if this cowl will ever hold the paint.... For some reason the paint wont stick. Trying another primer tomorrow.
