              Geeee thanks WK, we just got your gift as we were setting out to take the girls Easter Egg hunting.

              I thought their teacher was kidding when she said one cold spell in April then and only then will it be over.

              Still, it beats Oklahoma for riding weather.

              Okinawa sounds nice...... 61-91 two years ago ......... 30 degree swing in a year....

                    Hit the lower 30's here today, highest temp in about 8 days, melted the snow we got last week, just when I thought maybe I could fire the bike off tomorrow, weatherbug goes and pops up and informs me that we are in a snow watch, 3-6 inches between tonight and tomorrow night. Now ill have to wait for that to melt.
                    If only it would get warm enough in the uninsulated garage to allow me to do some much needed polishing, thats all I ask for.

                        Woke up this morning to 4" and heavy snow fall, no signs of it quitting any time soon.

                        Tis a good sign, we do need the moisture, but dang, bring it in rain and 50 degree temps, not snow and 20's
