Ahh…. nothing like 60s in January. You gotta love the Buffalo weather! The break in the temperature allowed me to do two things – grill a steak for dinner Tuesday, and finish installing my second garage door opener. My Dad and I had previously ran the electric, the door control, and the safety sensors. Monday…
At least that’s what South Park proved tonight, with a little help from the Hardly Boys.
