Winter is too long! I am getting more and more stir crazy when it comes to riding. The windows of opportunity are almost non-existent this year. I fear for my battery since I can’t ride like I did last winter.

Was planning to ride this morning and the forecast now shows freezing rain and sleet on the way. I see it on the radar.

Oh well…

pitchertaker: I bet those miracles cost extra….*grin*

heinz & frenchie: I’m sure John appreciates the warm wishes.

conchscooter: I bet. And it would take a lot to make a Maxima attractive!

We look forward to hearing about him and wish him continued healing.

I guess they can do only so many miracles medically. Good to see him standing beside his ride rather than riding it.

P’taker

John’s essay is labeled

Wound . doc, yes a document in MS word. ie WOUND docTOR..

Winter is too long this year, and wat too much snow, like three feet on the ground and more coming.

And everything including side streets
and other less travelled routes
frozen solid.

What may be described as an old
fashioned winter
