Thats a perty good link there TC. Tells alotta stuff I didn't realize.

I dont spect you need to winterize cuz you live in californy where it never gets cold. Like one time I asked a feller from florida bout his truck freezing up and he said "nuttin freezes here".

Meybe you should go visit Snowflake and help her shovel snow.
