    My buddy Danny's neighbor bought a Pro in that green; had to fly down to Michigan for it and drive it back. That was the closest dealer he found with the green and a MT. They got back Thursday morning. Hope I can catch him at home this week and check it out IRL. Glad you're enjoying the new ride.
    Hoping you're right and we get an early Spring here as well...I got my eyes scanning for the first Robin.
    :fingerscrossed:

    Have yourself a fine Sunday, Sir.

    What's the count on your short-timer's calendar?

    Turns out I did just that! The hospital was its usual efficient (NOT) self, so by the time we finally made it out of there the temps were at or near 50 degrees. I pulled up in front of the hospital door with the top down and dad just laughed. I told him I would put the top up if he wanted -- it's just a push of a button. But the sun felt good and the day was fine and so we took the small roads and enjoyed the drive.

    San Antonio is a pretty nice town. My son lives on the outskirts, out towards Fredericksburg, just outside the outer loop. Riverwalk is nice to visit but watch your wallet -- the prices are a little steep.

    Good morning Susan, gangsters,
    Really nice day out west, didnt check the ther-mo-meter, maybe upper 50's, felt good with a light flannel shirt over a ss shirt working on the firewood.
    One more stove in the mail yesterday, one from '57, still need a '60 to have a run from '47 to '62. Longest continuous run is '23 thru '40.

    I grew up in Colorado. Folks said anyone who predicts Colorado weather is either a fool or a newcomer.

    The newcomers here are always asking if the current weather is "normal?" I always answer, "yep, tomorrow will be too."

    Good morning, everyone! Dam bear found its way back into our apiary - went right over the electric fence and took down 3 hives. Not a ton of damage but we need to find a way to keep him out before we go active again this spring. I wrapped some pieces of bacon around the fence wire - hopefully getting a mouthful of a quick shock will make him lose interest.

    Back to work today!!

    Something tried to nibble on a piece of bacon wrapped around the wire....changed its mind for some reason. Could have been a deer, though. I'll keep bacon strips there for a few days.

    If they're like the bears here, they'll be thinking "more bacon please."

    EDIT: Sorry 6
