    New pumps are built cheaper, keep that old heavy duty pumps running as long as possible. New ones would never make it to 20 years.

    Well we have had the wettest February in many years. So far 5 inches of rain with more coming in tonight. They say for every inch of rain it equals about 10 inches of snow. Good thing it does not stay real cold here.

    It was good to see Junior win. I hope the rain stops in March down there. I'd hate to rent a bike just to ride in the Floreeda rain

    I came down with a bad cold and couldn't ride yesterday in the Road Captain qualifications. Did ride all day Saturday for part of it and probably should not have. Really tired of all the rain and going to rain all this week to, man it's been a long winter this year here to.

    Come on up here with your bike and we'll see who the wossy is. You don't even get your bike out until it's probably 80 and dry.

    Oh brother another snow storm coming this Sunday night. We have already more than doubled our usual amount of snow. In a Couple of weeks I'll be searching for HRK again. Then in April I'll be looking for CB's relatives in AZ ! Can't wait for the warmth!

    Yup...Was reading this morning about all the salt/snow budget problems in various municipalaties...Rather than raising taxes I would prefer a one time assessment...
