Finally

Today is a great day!!! I woke the lady from hibernation and she ran as good as ever.

Went for a 15 mile ride and only got her a little dirty. Still a lot of sand and salt on the roads up here, but at least they are dry. 50 degrees today and about half of our snow is melted. BOY, THAT RIDE FELT GREAT...ITS BEEN TOO LONG.!!!

And yes, I'm talking about the vette.

Going to get mine out on Saturday for the first car show of the year. Can't wait - been a long time since I really have driven the car.

They say that weather is going to be here tomorrow. I'll be out on my silver beast. I won't tell you what you're getting tomorrow. That'll ruin your good times.

JUST TOOK IT OUT AGAIN.

Let the weather bring whatever, I can live with it now that my vette and I have renewed our relationship!!! If it rains, let it wash all the crap off the roads up here...and let it melt the rest of the snow. It got up to 60 today. WOO-WHOO

I am one happy dude!!!

Still piles of snow... now wet piles of snow & sand on the roads.... it'll take alot more than just rain to get some serious run-off happening. My garage rent is up April 9th... so I'm crossing my fingers that I can have a little fun by then! I'm getting the i-t-c-h!

Suppose to be nice here tomorrow again. One more trip in the vette before the "early spring" "late winter" storm hits on Wednesday. Then it will be patiently waiting for snow to melt again.

Just put the car back on insurance...so by Thursday and for the next few days, the insurance company will be making money on my baby sitting in the garage.

Guess I could buy something for the vette? Hey, maybe I'll finally buy those wheels I've been wanting to get...

I guess I should finally get off the fence and buy them.

I'm going nuts with all this rain!!!!

I know you can always wash the car, but I work for an american motorcycle company and you just can't show up at work with a dirty Vette parked next to all those good looking bikes.
It would be like a bride showing up after mud wrestling.

Maybe Wedneday......they say that should be a dry day and close to 70.
