The weather is great right now...the past few days it has been +14C - +16C... better temperatures than it will be on a lot of our summer days. The sun feels so good on my face. I go outside and just stand there...looking around.... looking up. Worse than somebody's grandpa...you know... standing around out there watching the grass grow. It doesn't seem so long ago that I peeked out through somebody's curtains...and remarked on that very thing to Mr. B about his grandad..... now I know exactly what he was up to. ... erm...and it was about 24 years ago.... ackkkk! where did all that time go?
I wanted to move my motorcycle out of the corner of the garage yesterday so I could get at the battery and take it out. I was bad... didn't ride last summer because of my broken foot... and really didn't even bother doing that which should be done. The battery should have been out of the bike all winter in case of freezing temps... luckily it was not overly cold this winter...and I doubt the garage got below freezing. Whew. Don't want anything cracking or getting wrecked just because I was ticked and ignored my bike. It really needs a complete service this spring before I do any riding... but still needs to be ridden over to the dealer to get it done. So... battery will need charging up first....
I've been reading a few biker chick blogs..... sigh.... lots of them are riding already .. some even get to ride all year round. I can't even imagine that. Needless to say they don't live in Canada. We just had a new skiff of snow last week...and although it is now gone...we will be getting more. It is pretty much a guarantee. It can't possibly be spring here yet. Be several weeks to a few months before it is regular riding weather ... I prefer to wait until the street sweepers pick up plenty of the sand and gravel. If you happen to be on the crud...it is like riding on marbles. When I come to a stop, I like firm footing when I plant a boot on the ground. Not much happens as it should when you are sliding around on that stuff. I want to know what my bike is going to do next.
It's +11C right now... a few more great days...but.......by Friday.... wet flurries....... hmmmmm...
Tomorrow it will be another great day...
