Brrrrrr

Gloat? Us? Never! 60'F today so me thinks I is gonna ride the motorcicle today. If my riser gaskets come in this morning I is gonna take 'Miss Scarlett' for a ride! But NO we ain't gloating!



I'm sure the MLK center in downtown Atlanta will be buzzing today with folks talking him up and etc but I got better things to do like paying my bills or walking my cat!

PLENTY of hot coffee/choclate on the menu for you huh Dave?

Wakeslayer is always a few degrees colder than me. We have a breeze also, wind chills of -25 to -45. The van did not sound to bad this morning. but tomorrow?????

My daughters school hyped MLK so much she just did not understand why I don't get the day off.

It's supposed to get below 0 here in the circle city tomorrow morning! My mom and dad wen't up to the cabin yesterday and it's the first time its been frozen solid for a few years!

I am particulary guilty of gloating as this is my first winter as a southerner and I am loving it. Maybe not skiing weather (tho 2 weekends ago it was close with temps in the 70s and (according to my neighbor water was 54, but that seems awfully high to me)). So I am not in the water, but it is a lot of fun being able to work on the boat in the driveway. This weekend I finished scrubbing the boat, cleaning the bilge, waxing the hull, (including a chunk of time on my back doing teh bottom) cleaning and first coat of oiling the platform, and removing and freshening up the paint on my trailer wheels. Was a real treat to be able to do all that in january. And after that I still had time to wash both cars. Nope, don't miss snow and ice at all.

Love the hot chocolate with the mini marshmallows! Of course a little peppermint schnapps is not a bad addition either.

At Central Michigan, or IN Central MI? My son goes to Central.
My truck thermometer registered -5 at 5:45 this morning on my way in.    Thank you remote starter. Tonight it goes in the garage.

Haha. It was 3 here. The 170k mile 360 in my Dakota never failed me once in past winters but it sounded like a 15 to 1 race motor cranking over when it got this cold out. I expected the new truck to crank slower but it cranked over fast and fired up with no protest.

gloat...naw...but did wear shorts & t-shirt to work today. will foot saturday with Eddie. rlienen text from this morning...'3 degrees'..text back...'think March & SJRR'

We're gettin' there.

And it's pouring rain right now.

Decided I must be dedicated to getting the tique on the water, after getting home from work this week and having to scrape the snow off by torchlight before working on it!!

1" new snow last night. 6-12" predicted for tonight. May de-winterise in time for greenlake .

Yep, measured 80 degrees even for surface temp on the river today with an IR gun.
I can almost go in now... :)

Dodged the biggest bullet, the weather idiots predicted 6-12 overnight and we got one. They must be trained and run by the same people responsible for the GAO employees, as they are the only groups that can be consistently wrong and yet stay employed with credibility. The storm might just be late because it is coming down pretty good right now. It is April 11th, WTF? You guys from the south and Kristoff are NOT helping.
