    Good to hear Cowboy. Getting out on the bike is always good therapy.

    Went out on a 128 mile ride today with a friend. Temp was 48-50 and partly cloudy. Sun breaks sure felt good. Got to say I'm loving those heat Demon's for the heated grips. I also got a thing I call a neck condom. Thick long tube that fits over your head and covers the neck, god I never leave home without that condom anymore. :D

    The weather is supposed to turn nasty again sometime after midnight tonight and it's already started raining. But that's okay (for now) cause today I was able to ride the bike to work :D. Sort of chilly around 6 this morning going up the road but this eveing it was up to 39 degrees so that was tolerable. A Harley ride does the soul a world of good. For some reason things just seem better. Some folks thought it sort of funny that the bike was parked beside a big pile of snow but I just look at as a ray of sunshine and a hope for the springtime.:)

    Man Please !

    Said something about mabe if it dryed up I would ride to Livingston on the scooter in the mornin.
    Didn't hardly git it posted and it started again.

    For everybody that wants the rain.

    Wished it would rain 10 12 or 13 feet deep in Rain and not rain again till next year.
    I'm tired of it rainin all the time in Texas. Everytime I turn around its friggin rainin.
    I liked last summer when everybody was crying when is it gonna rain.
    I said I hope it don't:rant:

    My OL is in Albq as we speak, she said it snowed yesterday but didn't stick
    Snowed last nite and they had like 1" but it melted today.
    She was saying the snow looked pretty on the mountains.

    I said, she said I know you hate SNOW !

    But she likes to look at it.

    Take her behind out of the heated office and put her outside to work and lets see what she says.;)

    Good thing you guys don't live up here.

    We have a saying here in the Pacific Northwest. "If you don't ride in the rain then you don't ride much".
