I couldn’t resist any longer.

I took the SS out of her winter cocoon today.

We only had two significant snowstorms this winter, and the snow that remains on the ground, melts rapidly due to the very mild temperature.

I’m a very happy guy right now.

Ha haaa! I know what you mean! i did that Thurs. as it hit 65F here! It was awesome to feel that turbo power and fly thru the gears again!

Sadly it was just a short hop as I don't have full insurance on it right now. Figure I'll take her out for good once the snow is completely out of the picture. We got a dusting of snow last night and it is in the 30s today...

I couldn't believe how my tires had flat-spotted and brake rotors had rusted up though. Thump-thump-thump going down the road the first couple miles and there was a pretty good grinding of the brakes till they cleaned themselves off! They seemed fine after the 15 minute test run though.

It hit 73 here today


Shaved my head, tossed on a tank-top t-shirt

Did some fishing <==fancy word for thowing a Rebel Pop-R onto water and reeling it back in

Walked the dog in the hilly section of a local state park with over 15 miles of trails (we did less than a mile - long winter)

Rolled down some of my favorite scenic roller coaster roads to/from the regular Saturday classic car cruise.
