Rode to work today in metro ATL. Overcast and 50s. Forty miles roundtrip. Actually very enjoyable. Had the tunes on. Roared up I-85 with the traffic flow. Good day.

I wonder what I can do to make my snowblower at least sound like a Harley?

Take off the muffler and put a short piece of water pipe on it.. it'll thread right in....

Looks like living below the Mason-Dixon line definitely has its advantages.

I went into my garage, patted my baby on the headlight, opened the garage door to see it raining like a sum-bych, bout 38 degrees with no relief in sight. I closed garage door, drove to stealership for a cup of "free" coffee (free my ***, it's paid for alright) bought my bike a little bling trinket, and went back home.

Didn't ride today but did yesterday and this weekend.

Low seventies here this week.

Saturday the sky was beautiful until I got on the road and it clouded over and cooled off a bit. The rain held off though and it never got cold. Had a great ride of about 120 miles through some nice country roads. Ended up in Chappell Hill and stopped at a small cafe (Bevers). Had some hot tea and a slice of cherry pie (heated, of course) with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on the side [sm=gobble.gif].

Took the super slab back home and went to a party.

Hang in there. Spring is coming.

...there's no spring, there was never any spring, spring's a long gone thing, there will never be a spring no more At least that's the way it feels when your skin is cracked and peeled and you been livin' under sixty pounds of blankets and the snow's driftin' up to your window and you're out of fire wood and a wolf is howlin' at your door....John Hiatt
