Nice cluster, but you should have put a picture of a palm tree it cheers the snowbound guys up. At the moment it is pouring with rain expected all day still warm though. Just cleaned my bike, might have to get it wet. :musicboohoo:

D uh, Martin, they are parked in front of a bunch of over grown Palms ,your're thinking a coconut tree. They grow such dense thickets here that Andrew Jackson couldn't find OUR aborigines, unlike some other folks.

But here's a shot just to cheer you up. Afraid we're just gonna have another boring sunset today.

Ilsa, Cheetos, and the White Bike are snuggled in the garage waiting for this early April snow to melt.  Roads are full of salt in the spots where it isn't icy.  Looks like Next weekend for the next shot of rideable weather.   No big deal, I have around 600 miles so far this year.  The weather gives me an opportunity to do a few more jobs before I put the tools away and start getting some serious saddle time.

19ºF with ice skimming the stream bed again. Bright blue sky and a serving of frozen ruts. Things are looking good!

Gryph had opined in an earlier piece somewhere that we boys just over the border seemed to get off a bit easier than our fellow Buffalonians. Not this time, my man. We got 7 to 9 inches to your 4!! So there!
Got a ride in Saturday morning. It started getting ugly just after 1. Then Sunday night it really came down!! Mother Nature has some sense of humour!!

It'll all be daisies and sunshine soon....God willing!

And for all you sun belt guys make sure you get that sunscreen on....happy trails.
