Tommy,
I spent a lot of time working out in the cold, the heat, the wet... so I especially enjoy the time I spend in the shop.
I think the most miserable mechanic job I did outside was when I changed the timing set in my '62 Corvette. It was about 15 degrees, the wind was blowing 20-30 miles an hour and I'm working in a driveway. I ended up putting old blankets over the front fenders down to the ground for wind breaks. Still ended up working 15 minutes and then going in and thawing out for 30 minutes. The best part? That didn't fix the problem. Turned out to be a bad condensor that I had just installed the week before! I just know Murphy was a mechanic.
