I hate winter. . . .  is it age? I don't think so. I still feel/act young. There's just nothing good about sub-freezing weather and a foot of snow on the ground. It stinks! I've always loved the four seasons, but Michigan only gets 83 to 116 days of sunshine annually, depending what part of the state you live in. UUUUGGGGGGGGHHH!! I need to go for a ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe you need to start racing snowmobiles like trickydick does

One of these years Dick I will take you up on that kind offer to ride the Wisconsin trails

In fact can you post a youtube video of you racing for us?

I went riding yesterday and it was 59.  Today, the teens and snowing, so we went to the preserve where I guided, with my dogs, a group of my son's college buddies for a nice bird hunt.  Supposed to be back in the 40s this weekend.  This ain't Florida but it gives you four seasons of riding.  Life is good!

I refuse to put the Fat Lady into hibernation, Spring is just around the corner.  At least that's what I keep telling myself.  My problem is, the friggin weatherman keeps predicting snow.   Angry
