I think I'm going to give up and wait this out. Everyone THINK SPRING
for me.

You won't have to wait for spring. We'll have above-freezing temperatures
again soon. My guess is by Valentine's Day. What we're experiencing right now
is unusual for central Indiana: "normal" February weather is lows in the low
20s and highs in the upper 30s. Normal weather for today's date is low 20,
high 37.

God, I hope so. Gunga Din, I'm not.

I don't own one and I don't know anyone who does. Nor can I find one for
rent and I'm not buying one just for this. Plus, it wasn't a canvas tarp,
it was a plastic one. It would have been a blue plastic puddle real quick.

Hey, Warrior, greetings from a fellow Hoosier! What part, exactly, of central
Indiana are you in? I'm in Indianapolis right now... used to be in rural
Pendleton until mid-'99.

It's a PITA, all right. I certainly sympathize.
