A MERRY YULE TO ALL

AND A HAPPY SOLSTICE

CHRISTMAS IN MAINE 2015

UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE

I have been delinquent this year removing the battery from my motorcycle, which I store every winter under the sink in the bathroom.  But this year has been so unusually warm that, like the grasshopper, I chose to fiddle around and ignore certain winter preparations. 

This morning the temps were forecast to be near fifty degrees, so I plugged the bike onto the charger, and after some chores slipped on my leather jacket (not cold enough for chaps) and fired it up.  

Unfucking believable.   I rode into town and passed two more bikes on the road.   Christmas day on the bike; we should be measuring snow by the foot.

Temps are supposed to drop into the freezing range Saturday night, and for the rest of the week: rain/snow/sleet mix is forecast going into Tuesday, with normal winter temperatures to follow. 

I can put it off one more day, I’ll remove the battery tomorrow.
