The first day of Spring is Now!
So what warm weather things do you want to do this year?

I want to camp more, get a canoe and use it, teach her to swim, and get my tan back!

It's not officially spring till next weekend over here, and at 7degree's C it still feels like bloody winter

Just celebrated that fact with a 1500 mile motorcycle camping trip to Death Valley this weekend.

No rain, but 60+mph winds always make for fun in the desert!

Going to play a little disc golf today.

Spring in these parts means lots of thunderstorms and tornadoes. Of course this year, the last half of winter had a lot of that. Plus an ice storm. So who the hell knows what's gonna happen. My plans will probably be put on hold because of the surgery I'm supposed to have.

Geez, is everyone going under the knife this month? Good luck with the surgery.

I ride a R1200GS Adventure mostly Micky. You? Completely retired or still have one?

It'll be at least next month. I've been trying to get in to see the Dr for over a month but had to keep rescheduling due to bad weather. I have an appt on the 28th of this month so hopefully I can get my surgery after that.

I love the GS model's, theres a real feeling of being able to disapeer around the world on them

Nah, I've completely hung up my boots , it's just too bloody dangerous on the roads now, everyone's speeding and chatting on there phones and not paying attention to what there doing

, and I've got a young son to think about.

I'm still passionate about Motorcycle racing though

, but for getting around these days I either cycle or catch the train (bit of a tree hugger!)

Temps got into the upper 40's today, the sun was shining...a beautiful spring day. Oh wait, we're expecting 4-9 inches of snow tonight....I hate spring in Wisconsin.

Do the trees hug you back? After all the CFL's, recycling and such that I've done all these years I thought they'd give me some love, but they don't! It's so depressing!

Tree's are naturally shy mate, give them a hug first, then they open up to you
