Winter finally arrives in earnest in the next 48 hours. We've been enjoying a wonderful late fall here in Minnesota, but due to a shot of winter early in November some salt was put on the roads so Via and my motorcycles went to bed for the season. Well, with today being the end of autumn weather, I'm pulling out my Yamaha FJR and going for my first-ever motorcycle ride in December. March 10 was my earliest salt-free season start in the Twin Cities, Dec 3 will be my lastest season ending.
Riding in December, this is good, mentally. Now I can fool myself into believing that I just need to get through January, February, and most of March so I can start planning for the ragtop/two-wheel season again. We are less than 3 weeks from longer daylight hours.
Heck, with that mindset winter is almost over, sweet!
Anyway, other than the nine-to-five routine through the week, and clearing snow every few days, I'll be working hard at staying away from the TV set by spending time in my woodshop, playing outside with my camera, and searching out jazz and bluegrass at small local venues.
How about you? How will you be spending your free time and avoiding cabin fever?
