    75 more miles? I hope the new job is worth it!

    Yeah, I usually ride as long as there's not snow/ice on the roads. One of the mechanics in our shop is always giving the Harley guys a hard time. "What's the matter? Wouldn't your two-wheeled vibrators start? That old Yamaha seems to make it just fine every day, so what's up?"
    Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

    You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!

          Now that was an interesting ride for sure. Ridden in a lot of weather but not snow.

          Everyone stayed home the day after the snow. Schools stayed closed through today (Friday). Most people did not start back to work until around mid day Thursday waiting on it to warm enough to melt some ice. While traveling today, there were still a lot of unhappy places on the roads. These will still be dangerous tonight. Should be all gone by the weekend - as if it never happened.

                  Enough winter

                  Early Spring here TODAY in Lilburn GA.

                  The good Groundhog, General Beauregard Lee, in Georgia, Predicts early spring! link to article below. Now 55f high of 66 predicted today. Time to break the ice out of the carwash buckets and get washing. I may have to take my summer gloves riding to FL next week.

                  To my friends in PA and portions of the Great White North, my condolences.

                  Y'all need a better Groundhog.

                      Geez Tod!

                      At least put a blanket over the poor things.
                      Before it snows.

                      You southern guys just don't seem to know how to deal with that white stuff.

                          I could have just put them in the garage, but with all the riding in the rain I do.. eh. What's the difference?

                            We had almost 60 here yesterday, but wet, and the roads are covered in sand and salt and muck. So no riding for me.

                            I did however get ALOT of the SG back together. As of right now, it is waiting on carbs, gas tank, brakes and wheels.

                            I believe we are planned to get a good dumpin on early this week. I was hoping KC, KS might have better weather, but its the same crap we have.

                                If the threat comes true, I will be living in Kansas City for the next four months or so. Its even colder there than here in Cincinnati.
