    Sound of Spring

    Glad to hear that you can finally see the sun over the snow drifts. I spoke to a cousin who lives in Chicago last week and he said "the snow has melted".

    Yes, those XS11s do make a sweet sound.

    We are having some especially nice weather here this week - highs in the 70s and 80s and I haven't even looked at Florida's weather. Soon we will be complaining about the heat and, of course, the humidity!

        Hi slow mo,
        here's the sound of spring in Saskatoon:-
        SPROINNNNG
        But as the snow was mostly gone off the streets I had the Christmas gift front tire installed.
        The half-hour job of putting the wheel back in turned into a half-day job because the leftside Weird Harold caliper pads chose to bail out and I had to re-learn how to put the bastards back in.
        I swear if I had access to the clown who designed those things I'd kick his arse so hard that he'd sh1t out of his ears.
        But after that, I took the Pumpkin on a nice tour around town. 12ºC that day, forecast of 8ºC today, I'll believe it when I see it.
