Default Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

The roads today were utterly deserted on my way to work. A lot of the snow has melted and it was just wet out there. So many people wimped out and did the old shirk from home routine but when one guy in our dept pinged out a note saying he was doing so I pointed out I drove past his road on my way in and the boss laughed his head off. My young colleague is a bit precious of his leased Audi to the extent he's too scared to drive it in the rain!

I had a snow day, over 12 inches here and being off the main roads, steep hills no gritting makes for treacherous driving

Snow all melted here today.
Calling for more on the weekend but just a couple of inches if we get that .

My oldest son came down today and ran the SV and the quad bike a while to charge the batteries.
Glad to get that done as it will likely be the new year before I will be able to walk out to the sheds.

Dang I miss riding.

Riding this

Gripe: Dropping it off paddock stand post-wash, it rolled over the edge of the path and fell on me. No damage
