Snow here. Snowed most of the day, Real wet heavy crud. 3-4" of soup at least. Then turned over to what appears to be a fine mist. So when it gets cold tonight everything will freeze up nice and solid. Going to be a fun commute to work tomorrow.

It's tax stress time and it has been cold and raining in E.Tenn. this weekend, so my son and I went out in the back field and spun donuts for a couple of hours on his four wheeler and my three wheeler.

It's amazing how that can relieve stress almost as well as a three hundred mile Uly ride in the mountains! Then I realized I had lost my cell phone somewhere under 6" of mud and water in a three acre field. A couple of hours of cussing and wading around in mud made the stress come back somehow.

Oh well, new phone, tax stuff headed in the right direction, and next week finally a return of riding weather!

Yeah, after this weekend of 70o+ weather Saturday, and a nasty wet cold windy Sunday, I'm ready for the temps to settle down a bit, and get back to something more Spring time.

Al Gore?
He'll be back mid Summer I'm sure.

Well, after living all my life in a country with a dreadful climate, England has suddenly become a rather splendid place to live, especially if you like motorcycles and/or cricket.

Temps in the 70s, balmy evenings, no rain for weeks...Mother Nature rocks lol

Upper 80 in Miami Sat and Sun. Cold front moved in after the storm last night, and it is way down to 75 today.

Not a cloud in the sky.

I am convinced the only way to stop the snow from coming is to buy a new snowmobile, snow tires, or a snowblower.

I tried to cheap out and buy a shovel, but no dice.

Anyone who buys a new bike will prolong this weather until June- you have been warned.

Spring! The new winter!
