And to keep riding as it comes!

Really. Most of the time it means some kind of nap is involved….

Snow…. ugh. I can’t even think about it right now.

Your experience and expertise is always welcome here. Good to know you will be making more appearances in the blogosphere.

My photo making has been much curtailed due to work but I still enjoy doing what i can with my little pocket camera.

Maybe the weather gods will keep things unseasonably warm for awhile.

Wish I could use more electrics on my Vespa. It just won’t handle electric gloves AND a vest.

Thanks for the kind words about the photos!

Since I stop a lot to make pictures I have many little moments to warm up. If you are doing a commute it can be really uncomfortable.

My grit is getting sort of pulverized into dust.

Without it the freezing air cuts into my neck like a knife!
