sunny Fifty one degrees today!

Last year on March 13th I was able to start riding, after digging a path to the neighbor's lane because mine was still covered in ice... Swear

This year was no different, except the snow seems to be a lot deeper. Gahhh

So I couldn't take it any longer and just had to go for a spin before the sun set and the work week begins

:Slaphead: I seem to have forgotten about that ditch next to the neighbor's road.

Knobbies suck in snow and ice....

shog The following sequence is me laughing as I realize I'm lifting the ass end only to see the front is bogged down too... End up lifting the pig and walking it out.

Only ran over my own foot once..... jack

:Slaphead: Such a dipshit... Thought my uploads last night were horribly slow. As it turns out I was uploading the wrong image files. Instead of loading the resized images I was uploading the full size images.

Gahhh

Could have went to bed an hour early Swear

So that's pretty much it. Whistle

Dug a path to the road, went for a quick spin, played in the snow and can say I went for my first ride this year!

Looks like I'll be drinking the RED Kool-Aid again this year coolaid

My son was taking the photos. You know how sometimes a grown up is never in the pictures? Or at least the grown up taking the pictures is never in the pictures?

I make a point of having my family take pictures of me every now and then to make sure I exist..... LOL Rolling Eyes
