I like snow, (when not on 2wheels)
I also like your antique diesel plant holder. 
(My brother restores old engines & bikes)

Sorry to hear the season is cut short up there this early..

[/quote]Could be worse; and has been some years. Incidentally, that is not a diesel; it is a 1 1/2 hp Stover gasoline engine; one of my parts engines. I have been collecting and restoring these old flywheelers for longer than I care to think about. I have 2 engines that are over 100 years old; one, a 3 hp Gray Marine inboard, 2-stroke runs on straight gasoline, NOT mixed gas,(lets see if some of you mechs can figure that one out!)built in 1902, and a 1910 Fairbanks Morse type N; HUGE! Shipping weight from factory, not including fuel tank, cooling tank, or skids, was 2200 lbs. Plus a multitude of others up to 1948 (my newest) including a 1926 Briggs and Stratton.

Anyway, got off topic off topic here; there have been years where biking is over by 3rd week of September, and not back until mid-May. So all in all no complaints (well, not too many,anyway) about the weather. Just means time to cover them and move on to other projects/hobbies like old engines, tractors, guns, yada-yada. :)

Regards and such,

(Around here, anyway) Got up to this this morning, NOT nice! -3 C (around 25F to you fine folk south of the Canadian border) At least I went riding yesterday. Time to put 'em away up here for the winter I guess.
