Default See you next year...

Just put it to sleep this weekend, fresh oil, overinflate the tires, c-tech etc. Saw the forecast for this week(pretty crappy) and realistically it's gonna get colder sooner or later. For you die hards that keep them out hope you have a good winter Hopefully those Mayans are wrong, see you in the spring

You guys have far less snow and it usually melts quickly. Typically when we get snow it's around until the spring melt.

Mine is washed, covered and probally done for the winter.

I wish it was so planned out with mine. However it just seems that one day the salt trucks are out and it's time to slap on the battery tender and ignore the growing layer of dust that will have to come off in the spring. Plenty of dry road days around here usually but the salt is the killer.

I will be driving the '01 tomorrow to CT to take care of some things, including going to the dentist. It will continue to be driven until the first snowfall. The '68, however, is all tucked in.

I would like to do another Pizza run on the next decent weekend, (say 50 to 70 degree day)....I hope there are some that are available. The Posse never sleeps.
