Title: +10 Launch~!
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on February 12, 2014, 11:44:51 PM
Mrs. Stig talked me out of scootering to work this morning (-6 fahrenheit) but it's going to be +10 degrees at 4:00AM tomorrow - so checked the oil, unplugged the battery tender (so I don't forget in my excitement at 'launch' time) and aimed her towards the garage door.
I've got to do a Barney Rubble for 1/4 mile to clear the local ice....then it's scootering to work!
Already told the boss I have an appointment with my therapist at noon tomorrow - so will be leaving early on der scoot!
More snow coming the next day.
If I can get in one day a week mit der scoot   - I'm less likely to Go Postal.
I know I have to take it easy in the dark - watching for re-frozen areas.
Some day the xB and der LIKE will see a day like this......(http://i62.tinypic.com/25u6342.jpg)

Or on the Gulf of Mexico......

I hope you've got some really good winter riding gloves!!  I rode when it was 18 for 11 miles and my hands hurt so bad and were so numb that I could hardly work the brakes!  Definately not safe so I won't do that again, but the rest of me was nice and warm.

I have 2 pair pf gloves - put one on the belt cover or muffler sheild to warm - wrap my fingers around a large Tim Horton's.
Been known to stop and build a fire  - hey, who put the charcoal lighter in the top case?!
