Winter is finally here

Its bound to happen, at least up here.    Maybe I’m in denial, because I haven’t covered the bike yet and hooked up the battery tender for the winter.   Christmas morning, it finally came.    We might get a break and and maybe I can ride it later.   Yeah, I’m probably in denial.

My only concession I’ll give winter is I do love plowing snow.   I don’t know why.   There’s something therapeutic about pushing snow around, at least behind a set of handle bars.     I put a snow plow behind the 4 wheeler a few years ago, and its kind of fun clearing neighbors driveways, the kids way to the bus stop, and the streets.    I seem to end up with plates of cookies on the doorstep, and an occasional six pack of beer when I do it.   Thats not why I do it though, I just like doing it.   I’m Like Forrest Gump  mowing lawns, I figger.   Beer and cookies are just a bonus 🙂

Bay Circle is cleaner than the city is gonna make it. Check out the tracers on the snow flakes. Thats just my phone camera. And no, I haven’t done acid since the early 80s.    Plowing snow is a cheap substitute for the open road on a Harley, but it works in a pinch.

Bought me a car for Christmas.  A Dodge Dart.   I guess I’ll always be a mopar guy.    She gets 40 mpg highway on a 4 banger, and has some cool little tech features that I was a sucker for.     Shopped around and did some haggling, and brought her home.   Life is good.
