We all mark the end of summer in our own way. For most it is when the kids go back to school or vacation days end. For me summer continues until the fall rains begin. That’s when I reluctantly put the top back on the Jeep. Generally it is sometime in the first two weeks of September but this year the glorious sunshine and summer like temps continued into the middle of October. I get in as many topless drives as possible in the balmy days., so many that Janis believes I purposely dream up reasons to go into town. Today, I got out the forklift and eased the hardtop onto the Jeep and lifted the full doors back onto the hinges and buttoned everything up nice and tight. I’ll still enjoy driving the Jeep at every opportunity without a doubt, but I’ll also be counting the days until the warm temperatures return.
