Talking When is Spring?
Well, I dropped the $$. Gonna miss the Trusty Old Shovel.



But I'm sure I'll dig the new (to me, '09) EGS!



I'm still recovering from wrist (right hand) surgery I had in July. I didn't even get to take her for a ride yet, and she is going right into winter storage. My mechanic took her for a putt and gave the thumbs up.

So, while in storage I'll be adding some minor touches to her.

How long until Spring?

Mid 70s today in Cleveland, near 80 tomorrow. I've seen many scoots go past my window all day.

Yeah, at least I can hear them!
