Ended up being 10F this morning here.  I havent' looked at the snow forecast yet....  not that you could believe it anyway.

What other job could one have that they could be SO WRONG ..... SO OFTEN....   and still keep employment??

And I thought I was DONE with the wood for the year!  Thought wrong.  It's getting down to the teens (F) tonight, Monday and Tuesday nights.  Highs of 30's or something like that. If you can believe them.

So, even though I had the wood stove cleaned out for the year, and all the fireplace tools taken out - I hauled up a little more wood today- hopefully to - ONCE AGAIN- get through this cold spell until warmer weather arrives....

Darned weather liars....

Been ridin' again my sweeet bike last week, after the winter stop, even though I've to be really carefull with my right leg (unfortunately, I had a stupid accident in a soccer match last January :-\).

GB , I'll agree .... I can't remember the roads being this bad , ever . In fact just this morning alone we counted 11 cars that had hit the same holes on the thruway with flat tires . Man would have been a great day for business for you . Winter has really put a damper on a lot of things this year .

I haven't even STARTED on my winter bike projects yet. Too busy with a project I never should have started. And now getting blind-sided with other issues...... guess those winter bike projects will still be there next winter..... :'(

Same here, 49 - I haven't started my BIKE project yet either.   So whatcha working on???   I've got several irons in the fire that need to get finished before I tear into my new-to-me 1500.  I've even had to sub some out....  more on that in another post....

But the 800 is ready when I decide to break it out.

Spring was OK here today.  Rain this morning, warmer than it has been most of the winter (maybe 45-50F?) some sun in the afternoon, then more cloudy/rainy for the evening.

D1- I know what you mean about the holes- the roads around here are the worst I've seen for a long time!  And lots of sand and loose stuff all over, not to mention still salt on the roads.  I hate salt badly.

Happy to hear a few of my forum friends were able to pull their bikes out today , that's awesome ! Unfortunately it looks like a few more weeks for myself , being there's still slick spots on the roads not to mention the dam crators that will probably swallow a bike whole ... Man I must admit I'm going through riding withdraws badly . Maybe I should have followed ratmans lead and hooked up a fan in front of the bike with Trolls videos ..... LOL .... For those riding be safe and enjoy  8)

Had the W out for some exercise...I still have to be careful in the alley, since there is still rutted ice, but at least they have both been out on the road..The weather doodah said it was 78 deg on this date in 2012...I remember that, and that is was 20 this time, last year....it's 45 today, a so called "normal" temp for the day...

I hear ya 49. We just got another 8 inches of wet heavy snow again here last night on top of at least a 2ft base still. We ain't ridin' here for a while. That's ok. The bike is still apart in the shed. Not quite finished the winter project yet! Should have it done just in time for the first (hopefully) ride in late April!
