-3c yesterday morning, but a positively balmy -1c this morning when walking the dogs...
We are about the same temperature here this morning. It's been cold, foggy and with grey skies all week.  Suppose to warm up into the mid 50's next week with sunshine.
In parts 200S and Grand Vista and my motorcycles 2 CS BMW'S and one GS BMW.

Sold-32 Kymco scooters of various sizes this summer.

What are you doing over the winter?

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Wet here today and not getting above 3c, so no go. Forecast for next week looks better?

When it gets cold the Collies are on their own. I have a large fenced  yard with a dog door. On a nice day I'll take them on a mile or so walk around the neighborhood.  They prefer the walks so they can check out their pee-mail.

Today I will be installing some parts I purchased last week. I have a muffler end cap to install on the Xicting 250R, A muffler shield to install on the Super 8 and a left hand mirror block to install on the project GV. Will also go to the auto parts store for a custom blend  pint of paint to match the project GV.

Will probably ride to Lindsborg to my favorite Mexican restaurant and have lunch. Ware you're mask in sit at a table socially distanced. Staff practice good hygiene and sanitizing surfaces. Wednesday will probably go on a Romeo ride to Lindsborg again to visit the Swedish Rye formally the Swedish Crown restaurant.  Have not patronized since they have new owner's.   The only two days this week with temperatures above 50F (10C).

What are your plans this week?

Today I took the scoot out for a spin - first time since Christmas!  Temperature still only 6c, but dry and blue sky in places, so did 12 miles before frozen digits drove me home; but it was great to be out again on 2 wheels, even if only for 25 minutes.  Roll on Spring - for all sorts of reasons.

Everyday that goes by brings us closer to spring and hopefully covid vaccine for the masses.

  Day 1 lots of snow 12+ inches  spent 4 hours on the plow the snow blower lost a belt with wet snow so I switched to the plow,  Day 2 more snow just a few inches , spent more time cleaning up packed snow that cars ran over , Its like ice , trying to keep driveway clear for the scooter when it gets near O C I like to go for a ride ,   started taking hemp  gummys for these old bones,  87 for a few more weeks,. Easter should bring some warm weather, git along these long days,  damn they are slow to git ,.

I live in Alabama so I can ride year round.  I just ride less in the winter.  I have plenty of things to do to keep from getting bored.

I Ride Therefore I Am

Well got everything done on today's to do list except going out to eat and scooter ride. Ended up microwaving a frozen Mexican tv dinner instead. 

I did get some more plastic off the GV project and since it will be cold tomorrow will work on restoration of that (indoors).

For once the forecast was accurate!  11c today, but wet :( so glad I chose yesterday for the ride.  My day today has involved household chores only.  B O R I N G.
