    off the next 2 days. Suppose to be 50-60's ans sunny thru Tuesday. Hmmm guess its time to break out the bike for the season after a 5-6 month winter freaken hiatus!

    However with Spring time comes the looming anxiety of all the crap needing to be done. Tractor serviced, 4 acres of yard to cut/trim, still got downed trees from last year lying in the pasture and house scraping/painting in spots. Need anew kitchen back door and the front storm door is about falling off the hinge rod. And a total Spring douching of the truck in and out. Thats never mind the clutter in the house/barn.

    Chip away i will starting this early morning,lol.

    This is actually the first chance i've had between work and shit weather. I wish i had a couple weeks start.

    First i uncovered my bike, disconnected the tender, pulled it out of the garage and it wouldn't start? I was like WTF? Its in gear,duh! Was good to hear that after 5-6 months. Fckng XM fadio was working which means they didn't put the service on hold ass hats.

    Before putting the bike back in i vacuumed the area and tidied it up a bit. Juniors bike is still covered and waiting. His puked out the oil due to the check valve backing off.

    Next i vacuumed out the truck, armouraled stuff and made an appt to see why the doors aren't locking remotely or off the arm rest.

    Next i pulled out the tractor, vacuumed out the first part of the barn reorganizing and throwing lots of stuff out. then pulled out the 4 wheeler and put it on a charge. Still need to swap out lawn mower for snow blower.

    All this is barely scratching the surface of what needs to be done but its a start.

    That took 3 hours and now i'm chiling out. I'm old,lol.
