Gotta' Love above freezing

bobhamlin · 03-06-2009, 07:21 AM

Our northern compadres did it. 39 degrees this morning.

Balmy, balmy. I should have been playing Hawaiin music on the way in. I'm sure the robins just overslept a bit.

My fingertips, although not toasty, easily undid the chin strap this morning. Pretty soon, I'll be driving the Nomad with a regular set of gloves and not snow-mobile mittens with liners. (Kind of analagous to condom-usage in a metaphorical sense if you --wink, wink, nudge, nudge -- know what I mean? Know what I mean?)

You snowbound individuals? Patience, my friends, patience.

You Southerners who've been riding comfortably all winter and regard ice as "that stuff that makes beer cold." Let's talk again during hurricane or tornado season. Or when they discover another 42 ft long python hiding in the toilet bowl, or when the fire ants or killer bees hold their annual reunions, or when the humidity is higher than the temperature and the temperature is 105!

Great news for you guys. This winter has been painful for all of you Northerners. The fun begins now.....

If nothing else this long winter lets me take my time to service the bike completely and correctly. No need to rush back on the road yet. Too much salt, sand, snow, ice.
It doesn't hurt as much to let her sit while some parts are back ordered.
Makes me appreciate every moment I ride in good weather. (above 25 degrees)

I had to look at the thermometer twice today, its reading 52 at the moment. I stepped outside and it was a welcome relief compared to the last couple weeks. Lets hope it stays now.

...what beer does when you leave it in the freezer too long.
