It was getting to me too, so I snuck out today for about 90 minutes. Not too much salt. Its going to be 60+ here on Saturday after what looks like rain on Friday, so perfect conditions for us man!

Keeping the streak alive at 24 consecutive months....

Up in New England we are warming up a little into the 40's but there is rain coming this weekend. Hopefully the salt will get washed away.
