It's a beautiful day. Temps in the low 70's. Spring has sprung just north of the Equator and just south of the Canal. :) Oh, wait! We pretty much have spring type weather year 'round! :D

Right now the weather is mostly cloudy at about the mid 30s for temperature.

Too cold for me to go to the outdoor range but I might make the indoor range if I can force the issue.

Yeah, we're still suffering from the temps, too. It never gets much above 78º these days. :lol:

Low thirties, heavy overcast skies here in Wisconsin...up to 8" of new snow predicted for later today. At least it is warm and not sub-zero.

You Honda riders are all a bunch of Candy Pants!

The weather has been above freezing at night and into the 50s for the highs. It was nice enough on Thursday that I took the youngest daughter and her adopted sister trap shooting at the Bremerton Trap and Skeet Club then to lunch at the Bremerton Airport Cafe for fish and chips. It did start to rain last night, but no snow in the forecast for us low landers.

Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Age is showin' there, Blaine. When I was in college the ONLY time I didn't fire up the bike and ride was when it was so cold I couldn't even kick it over and the starter would say something like "noooooooooowaaaaayyyyy". That, as I recall, happened when it got to around 15 below. Right before the ice storm. Once it warmed up again to where the engine would crank over I took right off for a ride. A nice Missouri winter day with the ice melted off the streets and temps up in the low 30's. And as I came back towards the parking lot I laid it over because I forgot about front brakes and chat and freshly sealed asphalt and what happens when they're all combined at once. Didn't get out again until I managed to get a new set of handlebars from the local wrecking yard. Now I'm VERY careful of what I do with that front brake when conditions are wet. Anyway, quit showing your age and get out there and RIDE! :D

:lol: Bear and Brother Paul...... :| Actually, I have not rode this winter as much as I have in the past....I've got about 5 good rides left in those Metzlers, and I can't seem to stop buying 1894s long enough to get new ones......I have to pay the IRS and scoot insurance, then I can get tires and I will be back in action.


Fred, I can't believe you went for Fish and Chips at the airport and didn't tell me :evil:

Mid 30's here and rain. Supposed to change over to snow this evening and dump up to 5 inches on us. If it does, it will be the only snow we've seen all season. We've had a really cold winter, but unusually dry.
