I've had as much snow here this year as we did back in the late 80's. I have rubbed so many parking lots so many times I've had to turn the cutting edge over on my front end loader. :thk: We got another two inches yesterday. Luckily, the ground was warm enough it melted as it fell.

That being said, the weatherman just said there are 80 degree temps in the extended forecast. I can't wait.

68F at 9:30am-79F today (a bit of a cool spell). Our July extended forecast though will probably be 110F plus.
Now is a great time to ride, yet my bike is in pieces thanks to the U-Joint on the driveshaft. Actually, other than all that is going on, now is the best time for me as we have decent temps for out in my carport and this is spring break week at school.
Later,

Yes they are, but that doesn't change that the bike is still on it's stand for now. Hope to get it back on the road by Thursday, but then I won't be able to ride for 3 weeks (work traveling). :tho:
