TheMarkofPolo; no, I don't run the lower block when it's warmer than 40F. In my neck of the woods, it's getting cooler than that, so last week I put the "teeth" back on, because I like the look.
I gave it another coat of paint so you can't see the red lettering showing through. As it gets colder outside, I may block off the tooth-shaped openings from behind.
Good News!!!
I just started a new job!
Yay!
It's going to be a 35 mile (one way) commute, so I'm getting re-motivated to add some mods to Olivia.
