Everybody ready for Spring!

I'm so ready. Been like a roller coaster lately, weather wise. 70* one day snow the next. Still need to hit the slopes at least once this year though.

What does spring get everybody else into hobby wise? Hiking, camping, biking, gardening, fishing?

I've got about 5 friends wanting to go on a motorcycle trip down to South TX 1st of May. This will be PT '08. (Puss tour '08) a short 4 or 5 day ride. The big one is going to be Aug. for 2+ weeks and about 5200 miles planned so far.

 

I'm ready for spring. I've already started biking again though. As long as it's around or above freezing in the morning and the wind isn't supposed to be too bad. Already done 118 miles since the first of the year. With daylight savings this sunday and warmer weather, I'll start riding even more.

I'll also start shooting more.

 

We've got a IPSC pistol match this Sun. getting ready for the Double Tap Championship in Witchita Falls pretty soon.

 

I'm in the middle of a 12-16" snow storm, yeah I am ready for the warm.

 

Yeah, I'm getting the milder southern version of that...8-12"

 

I was in Easton PA all this week, damn I should have looked you up !

 

Where's Easton?

 

We're supposed to hit the mid 70's by Wed. Have to stay close to home for the TSB spring thing that day. DAMN break my heart, get the bike out on some twisties while I wait.

 

Here it is only way too hot (summer) and not so hot (fall, winter, spring). Seasons have absolutely no meaning out here.

 

I can't wait to get in my pool. I checked the water temp yesterday, it was 70 degrees . I can't get in till the water gets to 80 degrees. Damn cold weather, it's gonna get down to 36 Saturday night!!!!! That will drop the temp down again.....

 

yeah, im ready to do some hiking/camping , and definitely ready to do some fishing. weather round here cant make its mind up yet!! but at least i can say, no matter the weather, we always disc golf!!

 

Camping out of the truck or backpacking? I'm originally from the Ozarks in MO. Float trips on the Curent river into AR camping on the sand bars and lots of cold beverage. Trees, water, humidity are a rarity here in N. TX but the weather will keep you guessing for sure and you better like the wind.

 

Next to Philly/jersey/ about 1 hr from NYC

 

Damn ! that's a really nice looking bike, mine resembles a snow blower... wait... it is a snow blower

 

Hey Concrete, I hear ya! !! I don't know how you folks in Rochester stand the winters! !! Reminds me of last year (07) this time I was in your town for Kidney surgery in the middle of a snow storm. I was depressed enough without that! !! Spring is right around the corner so hang in there! ! We are just getting rain here in Binghamton

Thanks Don ! I have to admit it gets real pretty when a snow like this occurs, we hang around the fireplace a lot and read or if it's not to bad I'll take the camera out, but that fun wears off quick. You're right though, it's right around the corner

 

well, the last couple of times we "camped out"(what some people call it...not me), it was basically out of truck, in a campground, with a tent.....but from the truck nonetheless. i havent done my kind of camping/backpacking lately(my dad, who is also my camping buddy, is in pretty bad health nowadays).....which is hiking in 6 to 8 miles at the pisgah natl forest, setting up camp, fishing for food, and hiking/exploring the rock walls,caves and creeks/pools/streams there!! thats my kinda camping/hiking!! i will be back at it soon enough though!!

 

Although I'm ready for spring, I'm getting dissappointed by this lame-ass "winter storm". I like storms whether it's thunder and lightning on a hot summer night, or 18" of snow with high winds and drifting. As far as storms go, this one sucks.

 

Cheers to that, brother! Oh, and we call it Frisbee Golf out here

 

oh yeah man...that too!! my wifes uncle created "innova disc golf" while he lived in cali, then brought his business out here, so they now have an east and west coast "innova"..............and i get my discs at an awesome price........we just played today as a matter of fact....windy as hell too!! good times man!!

and yeah, im really ready for some camping and campfire food......you really cant beat it!!
