It was above freezing here today in the snow belt of Northern New Brunswick, but now the temperature is dropping again and it's raining. Should be interesting in the morning. Most likely won't be any riding around here until end of a April.

Hey Pat, Nice lookin' bike. Yeah you guys up in Northern NB get it worse than we do (I'm down in Saint John). Years ago I traveled up your wayand around to Edmundston quite often on business. I gotcaught in more snow storms in Edmundstonevery October, but down here we wouldn't see the white stuff until December.

Only +6 hear Joe. Everything is melting or melted, I could go for a ride if the front end wasn't apart, but it's all wet and probably salty.
Lucky You man.
Last week I was driving the snowmobile trail groomer, this week if things keep up the grass will be growin'.

No, minor stuff. I wanted to paint her anyways. My buddy, Grumpy's Marine, is the best paint house around, and he is doing it. Just took the crap from the ol lady. She of course said that I was an idiot for going riding....Damn, I hate to prove her right.[:@]

She told me no coke, booze, loose women, and driving like an idiot today..........Damn,
