Default I'm bored because

there is snow and ice and salt on the the roads. Street Bob is covered to keep dust off. Snow blower is blocking the garage door. Lousy time of the year. People are in a semi-panic state, trying to get to do their last minute shopping so roads are filled with cars. Saw one woman who had driven her minivan off a straight road, into the huge pile of plowed snow.

Bah Humbug!!

How 'bout you? Who else is bored???

Yeah, sorta bored. It's sleeting outside right now and we are supposed to get 2-4" of snow later today. Just got apes on my bike 2 days ago and can't ride. Reading some of the HD Forum stuff helps. My wife just brought me in a cup of tea. I think I'll go out in the garage (cold brrrr) and putter around with the bike.

Happy Holidays, y'all!

I was out in the garage staring at the snow thrower and needed to change my mood. So I put in a Beach Boys CD so I could hear some "summertime" music. It helped somewhat but didn't melt the snow.

It's been snowing here for three days and with 40 mph winds it looks like mine will be in the garage for awhile. Where is the guy that is crying about global warming now?
