11pm hope you had your night vision on. Glad to hear that you got out for a ride. :icon_clap: Isn't spring fever a great feeling! Ride safe.

If I'm not at the gym I'm on the highway. Just got back (it's about 3:30PM) to change out the laundry, feed the mutts and take the penny jar to the bank. I take my money back in quarters, stuff them in my chain wallet and it makes counting out Spinner's gas money a snap, and you don't hold up the line.

Sorry to hear about your lower temps. We're 70 to 80, but for the next two days we'll have thunderstorms. We're situated at the end span of "tornado alley," and I could feel the wind pick up on the last few miles. It's going to be a bad storm.

Yes it was invigorating but a little nerve racking jumping on the super slab in about 10 minutes for the last leg of the ride to work. I usually prefer to stay on back roads till I get my MOJO back.

We're suppose to be in the 80's Wednesday and Thursday but I need to get some of the spring chores done. Get the hose out and hook it up. R&R the lawn mower. Move the snow removal stuff to the back of the barn and the summer maintainance equipment to the front. Recommit myself to trapping the skunkage. Some large winter tree brach casualties need to be pieced out and relocated. Rake a little here, rake a little there. Country living.

Love that first ride!!
At night in the cold, you are a bad influence.


You can have it cheap.
You can have it fast.
You can have high quality.
PICK ANY 2....

That's the problem in this time of year. The pull of going out for a ride up against the need to be an adult and do all of my chores and 'honey-dos."

While the weather is projected to still be dry today, it's a 7:00AM right now and the sky is already socked in with some very ugly clouds. That means no riding, just sitting here and working.

There are times when I hate being an adult...
