Joe, it's not cold out if you wear a coat, hat, scarf, gloves, boots (plus jeans and sweater underneath) and keep moving. The sun is so pretty on the snow though you probably don't have our complete snow cover (2+ feet minimum) and 6+ foot snowbanks so your landscape isn't as sparkly. I didn't consider the four foot drift behind my car on Thursday pretty.
I thought of you today. I've had to do tension adjustments on a machine for the first time since 1973. My 'perfect' 301 had tension problems for the first time in the 2 years I've had her. I'd say it was the rayon thread except it's been used before. My MW 15 clone's tension was completely screwed up. That one took a lot of adjusting, both top and bottom, but now it's perfect. I hope that was a one time only thing - I have no desire to duplicate the problems I had with my Kenmore from 1961 to 1973.
