It's a damn find day here, too. High of 14C (16 tomorrow!) and cheerful sunshine. The spring cleaning bug hit me hard and I did a fairly thorough attack on the kitchen and bathrooms. Now to enjoy the rest of my afternoon having lunch on the Rhine with a couple of avid motorcyclists (anyone know Lorraine Spence?) and then off to Germany to pick up our new helmets :chili:

Tomorrow: a day ride to the south!

Bah.  Still got about 5-6 inches of snow on the ground here.   Nursing a wrenched back this morning from all the snowblowing/shoveling yesterday.  Noticed deer in the woods behind my house.  First time I've seen them this close; they usually hang out in the much larger forest about 1/3 mile away.  Might be lack of forage.  Dunno whether to bomb 'em or feed 'em.

Drunken weather. 10" of snow one day, 60F the next. I make no predictions

There is no such thing as spring or summer.

-4 C and more snow on the way  >:(

Ride safe!
