In Colorado there's a saying...  If you don't like the weather, wait ten minutes....

Most days we just gt sunny and mellow, but today was a weather day.  Rode down to my house to work on it this morning and the temp was in the 30s but the sun was shining in a cloudfree (mostly) sky.  Come afternoon, the storm clouds began assaulting the peak, so I headed to my sister's house in what felt like freezing weather.  All the while the clouds were marching in.  While chatting with her, snow began falling, so after aquiring a JEEP (I need to permanently aquire a JEEP) I stuck around to watch a movie and then once the sun was down, drove home with the Duc happily in the garage at my sister's house.  The drive home was cold, but naturally the snow seemed to have disappeared while i was inside.  The roads were totally clear, i obviously coulda froze my arse off on my bike and been just fine.

I.....  Love.....  Colorado!!! 

But I definitely need to get a JEEP again soon.  I shouldn't-a-left mine in Cali.  It's not at home there

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed - Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver. Deep Thought, Jack Handy

your mention of snow shoes makes me a little sad....  Mine are in my entryway closet with a set of skis that have only been used once.... As I can't seem to find anyone with a car here in CSPGS who actually goes out to play in the snow...  What is with these people?!


FYI, if anyone here is planning on going skiing/snowboarding and has an extra seat available, please lemme know!!  I really want to get in some snow play before the season's over, but Blue (my bike) isn't real keen on snowplay, and neither are her SportMax GP tyres...  They've ony warmed up once enough to limit sliding since I moved here....
