39 and we've had almost 2 inches of rain since last night. Tomorrow, 67 and mostly sunny. Looking to get some of my RC members together for a RTE tomorrow. That is, if I finish the Ark by this evening.

My parents moved from "snow states" years ago and I THANK THEM FOR THAT! I grew up in Minn and Long Island NY. So I know what it's like.

They both told me they moved to Ca. because they were tired of the snow and dealing with it. No other reason.
Does Ca. have all the things in life people need? No... But sorry I wont ever move to a snow state! I love it here.
Wife and I are actually discussing where to go when we retire. It wont be my current location (So Cal) but it will be close. If I want to see and experience winter, I can go there :) But I won't live there.

Ditto, over here! Spent about an hour yesterday improving my snow shoveling technique. Damn snow piles on either side of my driveway entrance were so tall, I was having a heck of time seeing traffic as I was backing out! :sour:

Roads are clear here but we still have snow else where and it's still 8f when I take my son to school in the mornings. We need a good heavy but sort spell of rain to wash the salt and grit away.

trying to plan service time, need to book it, but with the weather being up and down its hard to say.

cabin fever,

I've got some of BajaRon's end links to install shortly.
But I've been forbidden, to tackle the Front fender lighting. :shocked:
The Missus knows that my lift is rated for 1,000 pounds...
And she also knows that the bike weighs more than that... (About 1,055)
She wants me to have some backup here, for when I get crushed and killed by the "great collapse" :yikes:
Somebody to let Tink out to go to the bathroom, and mop up the mess left on the garage floor by me during my ultimate demise...

But...
I've got my XM radio up and running, I've added a second Guardian Bell (Given to me by "Sonny-Boy"), and i've been programming some EM stations into the pre-sets... :thumbup:

I work for an engineering firm, I'm not an engineer and I don't play one on TV, if it says 1,000 it is good for at least 1,500. I mean really, what could go wrong?

Kris, myself and a friend rode down to Jacksonville, NC that is, had lunch and rode back home. Beautiful weather. Lots of bikes out. Funny thing. On the way down we saw some sport bikes headed the other way and in the mix was an RS that I recognized from a few years ago when I saw it at a McDonalds. On the way back, we took a different route. Guess what we saw. Yep, that same group of sport bikes and the RS in the lead. Supposed to be nice, in the 60s for the next few days, then back to winter toward the end of the week.

Snow what's that:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

I have been out riding every night this year. Fantastic rides throught great areas on smooth roads with lots of curves - then I wake up to the 10 foot snow banks along my drive way and the ice covered roads:mad::banghead::gaah:

So we're sitting here with the windows open, listening to the tree frogs. Spring can't be to far off.

Put the yard tractor in the shop today and started tearing it down getting it ready for the season.
