Getting old is, well, just inevitable. I hope to take is on gracefully on a scooter…

Junior got his morning run and ball chasing experience. He is impervious to the cold. I always quit before he does.

Orin: I’m ready for spring too. I have fantasies about living in the Carolinas or someplace warm — without alligators.

I know what you mean about getting into position and not wanting to move. It’s like you don’t want your skin to touch anything new because it will be cold.

But I’m not aging.

Sissies can’t find the humor in their own lives!

I’ve left keys in ignition, rode to work with keys dangling from unlocked topcase and sidecar turnk….wished for more layers at times….rode hot instead of stopping to shed layers…..have had heated grips fail and also had them almost burn my hands…

It’s quite the bother, how work life intrudes upon riding at times. My work commute riding has become dull…

I hope you manage to clear away the briars Sir!

Waking up to 10 degrees …..

Think of the young child in a snowsuit with mittens that Mum has just spent half an hour bundling up.

OH, and how was Junior on that cold frosty morning, eh?

My 17-y/o Ford Escort’s heater works great! And where I live, 8°F would see freezing fog and nice layer of ice on every outdoor surface, so riding would be out of the question, anyway.

Personally, I’m ready for spring.

Or some strange mental state? Eight degrees? All that rigamarole is too much for me. I’ll just wait ’til it warms up.
