Man I feel like time is BURNIN' by. 

I wouldn't care so much about winter, as long as it didn't get below 50, the leaves stayed RIGHT where they belong, and the sun didn't set at 4-effing-thirty.  What a quitter.  That's not even a full work day, sun.  Lazy s.o.b.

Winter solstice aint too far off.  Days get longer.  Then got to get through the big 3.  Jan, Feb, March.  Then I start peaking under the bike cover and see if my chicken has hatched.

You southern, west-coast, south-pacific boys can stuff your sunshine where the sun, er, don't shine.  Just kidding.  Just kidding.  Sort of.  :)

Eat you hearts out. It around 55 this morning. Too cold. I had to go the the post office. I was going to Aircraft Spruce to pick up a can of something-or-another 50 (ACF?), but I can wait a few days for it to warm up. I'll do it next week. I've been here for 30 years and haven't scraped a windshield once. I useta live where thing weren't so hunky dory, so I can feel your pain!.

I feel sorry for you guys who have to put your bike's up for 4-5 months.

Stuff like that is why I endure the heat of summer down here in Phoenix.

After 2 -3 months of uncomfortable, dry heat, the rest of the year is motorcycle riding weather without the rainstorms.
