Should we have a party or something?
Excellent idea! May I suggest it be held around July 14-18th, maybe somewhere in northern Michigan?  |

Rode to work again today. 3 out of 4 this week. I'm off tomorrow, but it is supposed to rain all day (and most of the weekend) anyways. So it's not likely I'll get any miles in for my birthday.  |

I'll see your 5 and raise you 1 for last Friday, 6 in a row, spring is here, so much maintenance, so little time... It's really true, if you put your raingear on first thing in the morning, you won't need it!

I hear you. Cliff, I didn't even go to work, too busy shoveling out the bottom of the driveway to keep it from flooding the basement any more than is already oozing in from the other side of the house. So far, the shop vac is keeping up. Tomorrow looks rideable!

At any rate, this morning I was naked and there was water. I felt good about the results. |

No fog for me either. I thought there was a lot of sand in the air until I noticed the sand hitting my face was leaving droplets on my glasses. 
The mist only lasted for about ten miles.
I passed under a couple of good flights of northbound geese and it seemed to me there were more children of the field sleeping along the roadside. Both are sure signs of the soon arrival of Spring. I rode to the courthouse to pay my property tax, saw your bike parked at work on the way in. Riding in took some of the sting off emptying my wallet!  hoser |

WOOOHOOOO!!! 3 for 3 this week, and tomorrow looks good too! But one thing is killing me. My bike is TRASHED!!! It is so dirty from riding on these wet and salty roads around here. It is really embarassing, actually. I really need to get it washed. Usually, I just wipe it down with some Honda spray cleaner or Maguires Detail Spray. But it is FAR beyond that. And it got that way because it has been so cold that my spray cleaners were FROZE!! I actually tried to clean my windshield one morning just so I could see...that was a mistake. While the glass cleaner wasn't froze in the bottle, it immediately froze when sprayed on the windshield. I was late getting to work that day. The big problem is that my garage where I keep my bike has no water and is about 100ft from my house...where the hose is. And my yard is just too wet and soggy to ride across right now...you can barely walk on it without getting your shoes full of water. It is like a swamp. I may just have to scrounge up a bunch of hoses and hook them together. Either that or I'll stop by the car wash and hose off the big stuff, then wipe it down in the garage with the spray cleaners. Either way, it is really bugging me.

WEEEEEEEEEEE
First time this year.
37F by the porch thermometer, supposed to be 60+ this afternoon. Roads were a bit gritty so the cornering was taken with a grain of salt..... literally. The highway miles made me remember the plan for inventing a fur cup that I procrastinated on again.

Cold weather, I use a spray bottle with hot water, to get the nasty stuff off and then dry with a soft CLEAN towel...you can pick those up at the dollar store...also, they travel well in the saddle bags... |
