Oh well... The local Potomac Area Road Riders club used to sponsor a 'Polar Bear Run' every New Year's day. My daughter wanted to do it again (the last time was when she was about 13), so I called the club to find out the latest. They stopped it several years ago after being sued by some asshole who'd had an accident on some ice. Wonder if it was a Maryland Ducati rider? |

I just now rolled over and my back made a great “thump!” Wow, I think I’m a n rhe mend. I’ll find out when I get up here in a moment. Btw, it’s 38 here now... Temp in the 60's here yesterday, but supposed to be mid-40's today. Good golfing weather. But we'll be slogging through some wet fairways. |

Minus 12 C this morning. Sidewalks treacherous to walk on. Luckily I have a pair of Icer cleat type sandles that strap onto my boots. We had a nice day yesterday...temps in the high 50's and low 60's. Much cooler today. |

I’d love to but one thing about this time of year up here No bugs Since I cleaned out the jungle behind the house we are pretty bug free too all year. I am out there at night with Deuce all summer. I spray Bifen around the house and that keeps the crawly ones out. You know those roaches the size of your thumb that scare the **** out of the yankees. As bugs go they really are not bad. Unlike those northern German and Asian roaches, these guys don't really live in your house. They come and go. If you spray a perimeter about 10' wide you never see one. |

My buddy thought he would keep commuting on his motorcycle all winter. He bought the snow mobile suit and everything. One little patch of ice and he was back in the car pool. |
