Mornin, everbody that ain't gone to their place of gainful employment yet.
I can do mebbe half a mile before mine start hurting, can't stand in one place too long. Been like that a few years, mebbe 5 or 6. Doc says that padding stuf on the bottom of your feet sorta hardens up, gets thinner, puts more pressure on the nerves. Whatever, it's age, nuttin to do about it. S'ok, never liked walking, riding is more fun.

Argh, wimen on the phone, can take 500 words to tell you what color a car is.
I wasn't impressed with car Michelins in the 70's, gf has them on her Accord now, but that thing rides so rough I can't tell anything about the tires (never drove a Japanese car that impressed me with it's ride or handling regardless of tires). If I was going to try anything besides Avon on my bikes, would probably be Metz, folks seem to like those, too. Don't hear about Bridgestones on Harleys, but I've liked them on metrics. Hate to say it about an American product, but Dunlops seem mediocre at best to me, but I haven't ridden the latest Elite E3, more modern tread design without that wiggle line down the middle. Trouble with switching tire brands, lotta money, and if you don't like em...

Mornin, Coastie. April snow ain't unusual here, and last year we had new snow nearly to the end of May, and that really screwed up the veggie growing and early riding. Thought it was gonna be a good year, actually got some riding in March, warmed, melted, rain cleaned the roads, and then it started again. Man, that was depressing.
Problem this year, even if there's no more snow, is 3-6' snow beside the roads; it's just saturated with salt, and as it melts, keeps spreading the stuff on the roads. Even if you could ride on the dry section of the pavement, passing cars can spray you with the stuff. Don't know how long it's going to take to melt all that piled up snow, some spots are higher than my head.
