- December 14, 2013, 20:29:52 PMI have picked up my yearly dose of flue, I'm hoping it has cleared by Christmas..
One of the problems with owning four old bikes is that I have to spend four times as long on maintenance in a cold garage.
Ride safe, when you can so that you can enjoy the warm weather when it arrives..
JOhn.

- December 14, 2013, 12:26:50 PM22* here with 8" of snow fall today and doesn't look to be stopping any time soon . So far today finished painting front fender and waxing the front forks . Off to plow for the third time then work on getting the front rim cleaned up . Even though it's a nasty day outside seems to be very productive .
Hey 49 how many times have you gassed up the plow truck

- December 13, 2013, 21:50:09 PMWe 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.

- December 12, 2013, 16:04:05 PM49 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.....

- December 12, 2013, 13:46:33 PM(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......

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".

- December 12, 2013, 07:37:37 AMWell, 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.
