34f & starting to rain...hope it washes all this slush off the driveway. CrazyAss winter weather this year...just read where some ski areas in CA are closing due to over 600" of snow that's fallen.

After getting another foot of snow last night...Got blessed with some warmer temps today....water's flowing again in the house. Twas nice to get a hot shower after 3 days too....feeling human again. Ordered some new headlights & reg. tags for the truck as well. Shots with the Mrs. on schedule for tonight.

Sounds like my day... woke up to -14f yet quite sunny. Then the water froze up....still is. I crawled under the house where the water supply comes in...to find out that the plumbers that fixed a leak over last fall, had left all the foam pipe insulation laying on the ground right next to the new section of pipe they replaced...Lazy Bastards!! If they woulda completed the job properly, I'd had no water probs today. Also working on our 2nd week with no pellet stove as it's control board went tits up...fortunately the 'lectric furnace is doing a good job of keeping us from freezing. Yet another day of negative temps to go before it starts to warm up weather-wise...right about when our pellet stove is to be repaired....damn Murphy's Law. Crawling around in the snow was NOT my idea of a great time to spent our 3rd wedding Anniversary today--

Think I'm with Clive on this one....a coupla times over the summer months w/ Lysol anti-bacterial & hand washing the interior pads in the sink. Then a good coat of car wax over the exterior as well as both sides of the visor...but of course, mine doesn't get nearly as dirty when I'm traveling under 40 mph.

Welcome aboard @DaveHargrave....nice choice of bike.

Very kool pics @alfalfa.... I used to have 1 of these.... Would eat ANYthing....basically a 4-legged Anvil. Scared the sh*t outta my boy's baseball coach once when he came over....he said she sounded like a gorilla in our back yard.

Woke up to -5f this morning ....but the sun is out now...still only supposed to make it into the lower 20'sf for a high today. The snow isn't going anywhere...@ least till next week.
-
We had 8" dump overnight....now it's 8f here this morning. My wife's relatives are enduring -45f temps in ND today.
-
IF he does....wonder how many other riders he'll take out in the process?

Had some fun last night shooting a different brand of tequila that we got for a Christmas present from my sis-in-law....stuff was pretty damn smooth. Currently snowing heavily...again....got a good 6" on the roof now.
-
26f here & been snowing since 10pm last night.... pretty stoked about making it back up my steep driveway in the white stuff yesterday.... Along w/ the new front axles, those 3 dead car/boat batteries make for some great ballast in the back of my truck... no sense in paying good $$ to get rid of 'em
-
Same vintage & color as the Camaro I had....mine was just small-block power'd & nowhere near that quick though. Pretty cool seeing those smokey black stripes appear outta the corners...
-
Snowed pretty good again last night... then it cleared off & got colder....14f when we got up. This type of snow motivates me to break out the skis!...

Sincerest Condolences Ray..... makes me feel truly blessed as my Dad will be 88 this June...just talked with him yesterday & he's doing great...so is Mom. The Mrs. & I are planning another trip to MN to see them this coming spring. Definitely get out & RIDE!!
-
Pellet stove stopped working 2 days ago....great time of year for that to happen! The guy I bought it from 5 yrs. ago, came over & sussed out the issue....control board went tits up....should have a new one by Wednesday....right about when the temps are supposed to drop into the teensF. It has been nice not hearing the fan running in that thing.
-
After a dry winter so far.... & just like that....it shows up... Yesterday morning when I got up, it was 7f....this morning it was 36f at the same 5am time... Pretty wet stuff as the rain has now washed alot of it away...

You're 1 of the 1st UK'rs I've met that actually skis....this is where I learned how to ski... https://skibowl.com/ It was only 50 miles from home...we'd go a handful of times every season...mainly on Friday & Saturday nights. By 7pm most people would pack it in for the night or just head for the bar....so we could do top to bottom runs w/ No lift lines....till 10pm. The cabin in the middle of this pic is called the Warming Hut & it's been there for well over 80 yrs...it's a great feature of this place as you don't have to get ski to the bottom to have a break....have a beer, warm up & then back @ it! My dad put me on a pair of skis there when I was 4 y/o...one of the best gifts he ever gave me.... & my brothers. I've ski'd every ski area on Mt. Hood & the snow has the tendency to be a little heavy & sometimes wet....(known as the Cascade Concrete) but if you can ski it, you can ski ANYwhere. And compared to the snow on the east side of OR, which is noticeably dryer & faster....there's thigh-deep powder sometimes....& is fortunately where I live now.

I do remember that tale.... just about as funny as the time he broke his nose riding his boy's DT 125....
-
Brings back some great memories @Nute.... spent alot of years night skiing on Mt. Hood here in OR. That 1st pic is nothing but a Ski freeway...

Gotta admit, that'd give Bob's Vespa a run for it's money. Hmmm...maybe a new thread subject?....Battle of the Scooters. That oughta really make Buck's day.
