Absolutely nothing

It's too god damn cold for me to work on my car, so the tranny will remain sitting on the side of the garage and all my turbo parts will stay in the living room until spring. **** the cold.

I do have a garage heater, one of those big kerosene bastards that looks like a jet's afterburner. I am just unmotivated in the winter. We'll see what happens.
