It's the cold weather apparently, they were saying about this on TV the other day - your body has to use more energy to keep warm so it's difficult to spare enough for doing other stuff - it's a fact!

From the guy working on your car Chris? I've got a deadline to get my truck finished & it's coming up pretty fast. So I've got no choice but to put in a couple of hours on it every day. Definitely takes a lot of the fun out of it when it starts feeling like a second job, but if I don't do it now, I won't be driving it for the Summer. Spanners, I'm wearing the boiler suit you gave me last year every day now. Layers are the key -lots of layers of clothing to trap warm air & insulate you from the cold -or just work on your vehicles in the Summer. This is the ZZ Top video Archie mentioned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaIZWjItReI |
