Well the Prognosticator of Prognostications, Punxsutawney Phil has seen his shadow which means six more weeks of winter. He emerged from his tree stump on Gobbler's Knob and proclaimed his weather forecast. Don't worry though that we have to deal with more winter, but instead look to spring. Just because it is still chilly and gloomy outside doesn't mean you can't prepare for when the sun comes back and the temperatures rise. For major league, and minor league baseball players, spring starts in three weeks when first pitchers and catchers report and then the position players a few days later. So, let's get ready!
Why wait until it is warm to get your boats and toys ready? Get them ready now so when the first signs of spring hit you can be enjoying the weather and not spending your time doing repairs that winterizing inevitably requires. As a weekend warrior boater myself, I know how precious and few the times are when we can get out on the water; approximately 52 times a year if the weather doesn't blow us out on the only days we are not in the office or shop. Make the most of your time during the stretch run of this cold season.
If your boat, racecar or other toy(s) needs a fuse gear of some sort or replacement of that faulty meter, then take care of it now. Are some terminals a little loose? Perhaps an upgrade is in order. How are those battery cables holding up? I think you get the picture. You should use the extra cold time now so when the weather is nice you are enjoying it with your properly working toys. Pacer manufactures superior wire and cable that is used in so many industrial and recreational applications that our customers discover new applications and uses every day. We would love to hear your comments on some uses or applications you have found beyond copper wire and cable. If you don't see something on our website, contact us and we will work to find the part you need so you can be ready when the flowers and trees begin to bloom and the weather turns in our favor. Maybe the extra six weeks of winter won't be so bad and give you more time to look forward to the nice days ahead.
