Not much snow here in south-central Washington state, but we've had some uncommon rain and frost lately. I think it got up to about 46 degrees today. I saw some folks riding today but I couldn't get out myself.

Once in awhile I just start it up and let it warm up, then reluctantly turn it off. Then walk away, then look back, then walk away again, then look back.

Can't wait for spring.

No riding in Southern Idaho. Have lots of other things to keep me busy though. I'm a fly tyer and that passes a lot of time. Read books, watch movies, spend time here in the loony bin. Winter will pass and you will rejoice in Spring.

The bike is in the shed. Waiting!
It will be happy in the spring 'cause I bought it a Cobra lugage rack, saddlebag top rails and a tach for Christmas
I bought an intercom system for Cindy and myself
