Long time no see! Yes, the weather has improved here. Instead of late winter weather it's now more like it ought to be. How are things down your way? Doing any biking yet? I got Old Faithful out of storage about 3 weeks ago, but have only been out on it once, not counting a trip to the gas station for its first fill-up after the gas tank rebuild. It looks good now, and runs very well. I think I'll keep it. Mostly because nobody else wants it. Who besides me wants a bike that's 23 years old, with 84,500 Kms on its clock? The bike however doesn't know this, and still goes like hell. It's a fun ride. A new one couldn't do it any better for me. And I couldn't afford a new one with this much under the hood. This cranks up 137 horses all out and that's only 11 horses less than my 2008 Dodge, which weighs a lot more than the bike.

Dudeski, Ray! I'm sorry that I didn't realize that you had replied to my hello! Not sure if this was while they were trying to get rid of the notifiers? Such a SILLY thing that they did!
Anyway...we had a lovely, but cold, sunny week, last week. Enough sun to get a sunburn, while out canoeing w/my daughter's class (I got separated from the sunblock! I never like to put it on until I absolutely have to and, then, I didn't it! :-(
Glad to hear you've had a chance to knock the cobwebs off of Old Faithful! I think you otter go for a nice road trip, one of these days! Go out; get some fresh air; takes some pics; see some new scenery... :-)
If I were living up there, I'd be calling you to come pick me up so we could go out riding, together! I miss the rumble of a bike! :-)
Incredible to think of how many horses are in that OF! I'm glad that you've got that OF and can get out, once in awhile, and have some FUN! :-)
Looking forward to some sun; it rained all day, today. A day or two is OK; after that, it starts grating on yer nerves...'cuz we've already been doing this for the past 6 months! :-P
Looking forward to more picture-taking weather! :-)
