Snow Day!

I have been reflecting over the last month or so about the weather. I enjoy some down time after a very busy riding season and get to take time promoting, scheming, emailing, tying up loose ends from things that were put off. But, and I using this word in broad terms, I have been out on the sick bench from ulnar nerve and carpal tunnel surgeries, which are not going to be the last work I am having done. I still have both arms so the other is in need of repair?(lack of a better term) too. Trying to improve my typing skills using the one-handed type and peck system and then going back and seeing how many typos I made. Using spell check has become a standard these days!

Speaking of down time, I have had a path shoveled to my bike garage (a 5 x 10 shed) to see how the bike is doing and to check to see if it misses me. A new battery is going to be needed this year and I figured since the origonal battery is still on the bike 8 years, what a life! Also, with temps being in the single digits and even lower, a battery is a very minor issue. Rodents tend to be a problem for anyone who does not have a heated garage or keeps the bike in the living room or bedroom. I start mine several times during a winter to warm it up, check for leaks, and to take care of rodents. I have never had a problem anyways, why take chances.

A couple years ago, I had left my saddle bags on the bike in my old location and asked my youngest child to make sure I had left nothing in them. Said child came into the house and asked my why I was collecting beechnuts and acorns. Talk about confusion on both our parts, I went out to see what was being talked about and found both the bags completely full of nuts! I now store my bags from a hook hanging from the ceiling during the cold months.

Forecast is calling for 2 more inches of snow and temp is a whole 9 f out. I guess I will take today as a snow day!

See you on the Road!
