Sad sight, but i guess I understand how that happens.
The other night I left work in a downpour. When I got home it was still raining, and 36deg. I ran into the house to get warm. When I got up I saw icicles on my drag bars!
I gotta wash her today but it's 30degrees right now.

So it was 5 freaking degrees this morning. I'd like to know where in the wide world of sports they found those 5 degrees...it's too dang cold. Of course, the news says 58 on Friday so what the hey...another episode of mother nature being unable to make up her mind.

The thing about covers is that you gotta get them covered before it rains or snows, otherwise you trap in all that moisture and then its worse.

That's a very disturbing photo. I'm at a loss for words on the Christmas Eve evening. I'll put a word in with the large Elf on your behalf.

It is in the 40's here in Vegas. However all I can do is start it up [image]http://s272.photobucket.com/albums/jj187/dancorrigan/?action=view¤t=IMG_0119.jpg[/image] and listen to the rumble and snap.

I have figured out who's fault it is for snow on Christmas. It's Bing Crosby's fault! Him and his darn dreams that apparently have come true. Soren

27 degrees here and sunny yesterday-but got the Pearl out and took a short ride to visit my grandkids. Just had to be able to say I did it on Christmas Day! It was good, that's all. Happy New Year, everyone!

It has been very mild here in Southeastern NC. In fact it is going to be almost 70 degrees tomorrow, and the wife and I are going on a short ride to the beach.  Ground Hog's Day is only 5 weeks away?
