Default get me some spring time

Agghhh - winter has been so lame in upstate NY - not cold enough to ice fish, not warm enough to ride - last time out had to stop and snap a photo of the fresh rocksalt on the road to eliminate the black ice (Feb 4th) Also got a couple a days in (Jan 12 and 13th)

Been passin time making stuff for the bike an polishin it up till it's as shinny as chrome - but that to is gettin old.

havent had any major snow storms so the "will plow for chrome" program has thus far been a bust

Ralow might like the rear turn signal mounts I posted in my gallery and I came up with an answer to the holes left behind from the turn signals in the side of the bike - this will eventually get covered by saddel bags but if the "will plow for saddel bags" program goes belly up, that to will have to wait

I've got family in Cortland. There's some great scenery in upstate NY to ride in when the weather's nice.

And yeah, I'm ready for May.

Well, we're under a "Winter Storm Watch" for this weekend here in the Mid-Atlantic, so molsenice you may get to "plow for chrome" after all. Those hole plugs you made are kind of neat; how did you build them (you certainly are a handyman dude!).

Guess I'll be spending another weekend polishing the bling, but I'm beginning to wonder if the stuff wears off. Winter sucks!!

Well, the forecasters got it right this time. This morning I measured 13 inches in a clear, undisturbed spot. Very heavy stuff; brought down a lot of branches and small trees. Molsenice, we could use your services!!!
