2 old Seniors, a Model T, 8 degrees F. and playing in the snow again, Model T Camp and Adventures

Well, it got boring again, around the old home place. So, like a couple kids we thought we would take the T out in the snow again. Only this time it was 8 degrees F. We did a video a few weeks ago about playing in a little snow, and it was about 32 degrees. We had aprox. 3 inches of snow this time. The T still did good, but we did lose traction a couple time while pulling a little hill. Overall, it was a fun test of the car (and us) :). Kathy does not like cold at all. But I have a great wife and she hung in there till we had enough video to work with. Just a short video and us trying to get better at editing.

Here is a link to the video. I think we have 11 videos now. If you want to check them out, go to Model T Camp and Adventures on you-tube. or just do a google search.

Here is a link to this latest video

Thanks Donnie. Looks like fun, but you’re right. Probably a little cold.

Tom, Yes it was cold. I can handle it better than Kathy. All the years of working outsid as a field construction Boilermaker helps. Kathy always worked inside at the school. So she is not someone who likes cold. But she has never been one to quit when something needs done. Thanks for watching. Hope to make some more videos with camping content when sprintime arrives.

Hello Donnie and Kathy, I take the T out in cold weather also. A couple of years ago I splurged and bought gypsy curtains, they help more than I thought they would by blocking the wind away from the front seat passengers. Kathy will appreciate that! :) Fun videos, keep em coming.

John. We have Gypsy curtains and also full side curtains. We were not planning on staying out very long. And I was just too lazy to put them on. I guess I need to do a video of installing the side curtains and also using our charcoal floor heater and lap robe. Thanks for watching ....

Thanks Steven. For years, I preached to the other T owners, that if it does not start with one pull of the crank (after warm up) something is wrong. Then said to figure out what's wrong and fix it. I said that so many years that if my car does not start and run good I will be shamed by everyone. The only time it does not start good is when I'm showing someone how good it starts. Then Lizzie will be Lizzie and make a fool out of me ... Thanks for watching. We also enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming ...
