70 degrees, light overcast skies, dry as a bone roads, and............................................... ...............






My Sporty is in pieces I started my project just a bit too soon . But it is starting to look pretty sharp. When I do get to ride her again she will be sweet

My buddies were kind enough to thank me for the good weather though since they got to go riding yesterday evening. Got to love friends, wish I had some LOL.

Finally, the front blew in here. I'm going to go sit in the deer stand in the morning. I'm already cold thinkin' about it. Just in time, though. Ol' buddy from Waco is coming down to deer/goose hunt. We have a goose hunt booked monday with a local outfitter/land owner. Got the 12 gauge lubed up and ready and the 5mm neoprene waders should I need 'em.

Now you know what I went through last year......right after I ripped my bike apart we had BEAUTIFUL weather, all I could think of what an a**hole I was for not waiting...BUT, my ride looks awesome and I'm glad I did it....Stick to it, it'll be worth it in the long run.....

Putz, I don't know about your area but around here if the weather changes by 20% in any direction, these idiots forget how to drive. Even if it goes from rainy to dry and sunny in the middle of summer around here the # of wrecks goes through the roof. I simply think it is because the human race is stupid overall but then my sig line sums that up. LOL.

Back to cold and wet here. Glad the bike is coming along in it's makeover LOL. And Yes Chuck I am working on getting pics, I promise.

It's the same here!! They have been saying on the news that it was taking a lot of people 6-8 hours to do 20-40 miles. I gave up after sitting in traffic for 35 minute for a 1/4 mile and went back to work. Drove home no problem at 9:30. There were abandon cars in the roads that ran out of gas. It's pathetic that 12" of snow can cripple a state. It's not like it doesn't snow around here. Just pathetic!!

Nice Harvest AF. One of the better looking takes I have seen this year, Congrats.

Putz, if we got 12" of snow here they would shut the state down. Between idiots that can't drive and our glorious State funded sham..... crap I mean- government agencies we would be crippled until the sun melted it and the flooding washed way the rest of the fools building in 100year floodplanes.
