Forced time off is a reality for most of us.  Not a bad thing really.  Lets you get some of those things that you've been putting off done!

 ;)  right now 41*F and sunny, forcast for the weekend is as per normal RAIN, and more RAIN. not a big deal, lots to do and get done before snow starts....

yes we can chill out and relax, get the boards ready for when the ski hills open, the ice shack ready for fishing, the snow machine ready to ride too......knees in shape for curling. It is really nice to have the time to plan and get things ready for the spring and not have to rush and do it half way because you want to ride, enforced time off is ok and it can have its good things too. Like a lay off during the winter from golf, I have time to get new equipment, and get my lower back a rest and work on the muscles. So now over the winter I can work on getting the surface scratches out of my paint job and really gethte paint to shine for the spring, and give it a really nice cleaing job and such so winter does have its advantages....

80 is the high for today, then it drops to the 50's and 40's going into next week.  Guess winter had to get here sometime!

Now the northern boys can chill out! ;D

Weather depending, I'll be getting my yard and sheds winterized, move a few things around for the winter from one shed to another, dig out my snow tires, get the snowblower moved to the front shed, and then trim the roses dwon and turn over the gardens.if by some blessing of the good lord we get some decent weather I'll try to get a last ride in before I park my bike for the winter......

awe shucks..Ratman. In 7 days it will be 50 for a high. I will still be riding unless my tires don't get here, in which case.. I will probably still be riding, just slow in the corners.  Keep all those cold winds up there with you and when I win the lottery I'll ride up and bring a little sunshine to pass around. Maybe even open a Timmys that serves poutine ;)

Lucky you! At the rate things are going, in 7 days I'll be up to my bung in snow; :o it started on Sunday and hasn't quit yet. :( At lest it's not too cold...yet. -8C or 19F to you south of the border folks.

Regards and such,
