We got ice. No snow, just ice. It warmed up to 40 the last few days so no more ice. Would have gone for a quick ride since I finally got the bike together but they went batshit crazy with the sand. It's everywhere, and a lot of it. Even my Jeep has gotten sideways on curves. Bad thing is it'll probably stay there forever. They never actually clean that up.

  49 hire GB son to plow your driveway....

need to check in with my counsellor because I am entitled to having VA hire a driveway cleaner, but I don't mind doing it if it is not too bad and some times it is a way to relax and unwind......but I have a normal 3 car wide driveway.....

(Sigh) an hour and a half with the truck plowing so far, about an hour more to go, then going to do the neighbor's driveway; they have been gone for a week and won't be able to get in the yard.

Then......I get to go play in the shop...... :D

Minus 19C  (-2F) and lots of snow to plow.... :(

Now, on the other hand, my oldest son has a landscaping business, so all the snow and ice is like a great big paycheck to him.

I've heard it said "It's an ill wind that blows no one good".

Well, we had 5*F this morning.  That's -15*C I should say (That sounds SO MUCH COLDER).  It's supposed to reach 15F/ -9C this afternoon.  What LOVELY fall weather - it's not even Winter yet, you know.  I know, I know - for you "Northern Boys", this IS NICE fall weather.   I shouldn't complain, but it's cold for here for now.

Cold enough to freeze the brass....  well you know.  Definitely NOT riding weather, at least for me...

But they say if you don't like the weather in OHIO, wait a minute...    It's supposed to reach freezing on Saturday.  Who knows, maybe I'll take a drive in the truck to go see what trouble I can get into.

40 deg. and rain yesterday, 17 deg, and clear right now...They are saying sub zero by the weekend...DAMN, I hate winter. My winter project parts arrived today...adapting a Nomad rear seat to the '99 horse shoe so I can use my VERY comfy solo seat and still have passenger accommodations when necessary. Pictures as the work progresses... At this point, looks to be a pretty easy mod.

Looking forward to those pics....

Just got me thinking - I hate winter more and more the older I get .....   By the time I get to be your age, I'm gonna REALLY hate it!! 8)
