Well it's snowing and the lake is icing up. Time to quit crying and shift into skiing, ice fishing, snowmobiling mode. I only ski, but you got to do something to get out of the cabin or you will go loco.

We rode up PCH today (in a borrowed car) all the way to Long Beach, then backtracked to Costa Mesa. Tomorrow we are going up to LA to visit Nick at his new shop...Perri Ink. Cartel.

Saw lots of bikes out and about...next time we come out will be on the bike.
Well, that sounds nice!

Guy at work road in today. 24 degrees this morning! That's die-hard. Even going home would have been cold *** (45).

That's me. If I have to spend the first 20 minutes with my teeth chattering, it's no fun.

I don't really mind the winter, sort of like it actually. I enjoy winter sports, camping in the cold, burning a fire in the fireplace, etc. Plus, it gives me good down time to work on the summer projects like the bike. I love to ride, but don't mind getting dust on the pegs for now.
