| Greetings Mike from a fellow Canuck.
I'm in Winnipeg, also with an '09 with lots of mods as well ( check my signature). My Swing has no name. I can't quite seem to humanize any of its properties.
If there's any info you need about anything Swing related, this is the place to be.
Is Precious resting comfortably with a blanket over her while she's in hibernation?
I was going to ask if it was a warm blanket. Then I realized there is no such thing as a warm blanket unless there is a heat source for the blanket. The blanket just provides a means to trap insulating air. The insulating air is then warmed by the body underneath it. Since Precious has no heat source the blanket would be useless.
Sorry, just rambling.

| Howdy Tinman from the sunny south. It's nice to have someone join and introduce themselves. It makes it easier to respond to someone when you know their level of experience. Enjoy the ride (even if it's only on the computer).  |

| Careful, Waspie... quit makin' fun of our Kansas roads. We can't help what color they are and what they're made of  ... Anyway, welcome to the best SWing site around "tinman". You're gonna' enjoy it here. Too bad you're so far north. Here in my area (NE Kansas) we still get a few days every now and then thru the winter to go out and hit the roads. Helps to keep some of the jitters at bay. |
