The weather guessers only missed it by 25 degrees today. Forecast 70....today's high 45 and wind is howling. Wonder if they still get paid?

It is Happy Hour here at the humble estate. I am very happy to be off for the next four days. Hernando Bike Fest starts tomorrow about 15 minutes from me. I will check it out early in the morning because the weather says it may rain out some of the weekend. Last year was the first and it was actually pretty awesome. Rats Hole show, bands all day including Confederate Railroad as a Saturday night headliner.

Tanqueray and tonic with a splash of lime is the Happy Hour special. A mix of chili pistachios, dry roasted peanuts and habanero almonds for a bar snack.

Afternoon, guys.
Snow showers all day, I don't think it got to 35° today.

Confederate Railroad is the bomb, Jeff. My envy meter is pegged.

Spring, Greg, think spring.

Not only thinking it, Mick, I'm praying for it.

Believe me, there will be no question over who is throwing lead.

@Northern Glide You can open carry and the truth is, if you conceal but have a permit out of state, no one, (myself included) would care and take the time to research reciprocity. So if you're going to carry just carry. You're traveling, your motorcycle is protected under the transportation code and concealing while on the bike is protected. The laws that Russ posted change when you walk into a store, and at that point, my first statement stands.

Anyway, the photochromic shields have been out since last summer, but finding them was a chore. Ebay had them selling for twice their price, damn scalpers and frauds. Finally, I was able to order one, not get scalped and should have it this weekend. Just in time for a couple trips that will last a couple days each.
I remember buying the helmet I've liked the best, a Simpson, long ago for less than a lot of face shields cost today. Wore it a few years longer than recommended and probably would have a few years more, but I learned the hard way that Minnesota squirrels like to tear the insides out if you leave them outside. Hmm, come to think of it, I don't remember ever seeing a squirrel in Arizona, where I got the helmet. It may have been that helmet wrecking squirrel that started my downward opinion of Minnesota.
