well its been mid-upper 90s for a few weeks here even hitting triple digits a couple times so i havent been hitting my summer set-up. but i just really wanted to ski a little so i came up with a solution, session in the middle of the night. it was pretty cool. just pulled the car out into the backyard and put on the high beams and i was set. try it sometime, it sure beats being out in the sun

i didnt have any lights and it was just a spur of the moment thing. the high beams worked really well and it saved me the cost of buying a light. the only problem is id have to start up the car every 10 minutes or so to make sure the battery didnt die.
