Title: Warm guys stop whining!
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on December 08, 2013, 12:17:22 AM
Coldern' the Blue Fairies here in scooterland Ohio.
Don't want to hear you guys whining because it got cool and /or rainy on your roads.
This is 19 degrees, squeaky snow.

Is that a current picture. I read this freezing hit between Texas, Tennessee then up into Ohio?

I am originally from Western PA (Pittsburgh) so I was used to that.  I got to admire anyone that rides in snow. 

I don't bitch generally about living here in Florida.  Yesterday it was 84 (28.9 C) and sunny.  Winter is nice because we don't have the humidity.  You will here me bitch in Summer when its 94 (34.4 C) and 85% humidity. 

Am I rubbing it in right now...yes, yes I am.

Squeaky snow means better traction.  Quit your whining, Stig.   ;)

I'm just pissed at the city for the crappy plowing the did with the first storm. A bunch of icy ruts. Hopefully it will warm enough to get that off the roads so I can ride again soon.

I'm not sure what you guys are whining about..

I've been working on my scooter every night after work in nothing more than a t-shirt and sweat pants..

It was 5F degrees last night as I worked on it for a couple hours..

Maybe I forgot to mention that my scooter is in my kitchen?? :)
