    This was a photo taken by Fox 12 news. Pretty cool pic, seas were a bit rough today. Not a good day for riding either rained all day.

    The wind was blowing this morin, we had to put some carbs on a Old merc .
    I was standing on a boat dock and my buddy was in the back of the boat.
    The boat dock was at least 4' off the water. The wind was blowing and a wave came in over the boat dock and got my legs and feet wet.
    It was cold too.
    Later on the waves got to 5 '

    We couldn't let the boat in the sling down in the lake to run it.
    And we had a service around the corner from it.
    No way could we of ran the boat. We will wait till tomorrow.
    A cold front is moving in tonite and the wind is suppose to change directions.

    Yes, we also had a weather front come in from the Northwest that had hurricane winds (85-110 mph) that blew over tractor-trailors and many trees and power poles. After it left, dumped 12" more snow. It was 55 degrees the day before, and I thought about riding, but it was just a thought.

    Yup, it's crazy everywhere it seems . . . yesterday we had tropical storm type gusts and rain, but most of it went to the south of us. Still . . .

    Our winter temps are back for now. Middle of the week it's jumping on up to the 60s and maybe 70s again. I smell a ride or two coming up!

    Yep, here too the weather has been crazy all winter. So far we onky had about 5 inches of snow (one snow fall). Past 3 days temps to 60!!! Sad part is when winter temps rise above norm it came from the south south west and that brings the rain. Rained hard all yesterday into last night. Now facing a sunny cold front with up to 50mph winds for the weekend. Got in two days of riding to work this past week though! One more week of work then I'm unemployed again! Happy about not working with the a__holes but sad not working! Another door will be opened though.
