    For 9 months out of the year my starting temp is 90 Deg F or 32 Deg C I usually don't need to worry about warm up or cruise temps. However come late Nov, Dec, Jan, & Early Feb it becomes a problem. It gets into the 50s, 40s, and way down into the 30s. I don't understand how anyone north of the Red River survive! It's too Damned cold up north. FYI the Red River is the border between Texas & Oklahoma, anything North of the Red River is way the devil up North.

    Old high school slang several of my Hispanic friend used. I never figured out how to spell it, but the picture of the snow made me remember it. I have no clue if it was a real word or not, much less how to spell it. However, Gene Zavala and/or Joe Zapata use to use it all of the time when it got cold. Noting those two they made it up to mess me up with my deplorable Spanish skills. Paul, Joe, Gene, and Greg the Z gang, all 4 of had names that began with Z. It brought back some good high school memories, and there aren't enough of those.
