I am sooooo tired of thia damn cold.
Now that I am alittle older I find I have to ware
my gloves or pay the price of my hands becoming
real painful. I am also tired of looking at my bikes
sitting there with the life line of a charger on their
batterys.

Always looking for the upside, maybe the spring bug season won't be as bad as in years past when we had very mild winters. I hate bugs, but I don't want the birds to starve, just maybe have to look a little harder for lunch.

Look on the bright side I guess, not much snow to speak of this winter, only cold?  Can't say the same for Boston MA area and parts of other states over there - YIKES! It's the weeks and weeks of bitter cold that sucks though, I can deal with 2-3 days below zero, but a week or more does make winter more dreaded. Just think, April 1st will be here in ONLY 6 more weeks - look on that bright side and time to fire up the 2 wheeled scoot!  |

We've had about 10" to 14" of snow altogether-so far! My driveway is packed snow/ice from using the driveway AND it's downhill from the street. My Flags I use for the P G R are out in the garage along with my Phatt Ghurl. I needed to load those Flags into my cage so as I was doing the loading she wimpered. And something bout wanting to be triked so as we could ride in the snow!!  And I'm like-WHAT??  I KNOW I'm getting older BUT I REALLY don't believe I'm trike age just yet! And-sad to say-she do have a couple of frozen tears in her headlights.  BUT that trike idea and blasting sideways up and down icy streets MIGHT have some merit!  BUT long with trikin her I would have to have electric heated gear! RIDE SAFE. |

That's what I did yesterday. Put some 160 miles on, though some of it was a bit cold (40's temps), most was an enjoyable venture. As a side note some of our bushes and trees are trying to leave out, only about a month and a half early. |

I have some huge Nellie Stevens Holly trees full of (apparently now ripe) bright orange berries. Every year about now I get 10, 000 robins thru who settle in these trees and eat them all. It's nice to help the birds, but the ungodly amount of nasty fresh black poop all over the cars, walk/drive, and house is a real PITA. And the hose is a frozen rock so that is out. Also have a huge local Hawk that swoops in to see if he can get a quick meal too. The robins don't seem to like him. I don't know where these robins are headed. I have heard they fly south because it is too far too walk. |
