Default C-o-l-d......!!!!!

Today were gonna hit some nasty wind chills here in southeast. All I can do is go in my garage and look at my (covered) TG! I haven't ridden in so long I've almost forgotten how (just kidding).
So what is everyone else doing in this bitter cold and snow? Are you lucky enough to have a heated garage and you can at least polish your trikes?
You guys in the south and southwest can bite your tongues!

38 degrees with a 20kt north wind this morning in Ft. Myers. Forecast high is supposed to be 60. The wind chill part seems to be the worst. My garage faces north, so I guess the door stays shut today. It's supposed to be even colder tomorrow maybe a freeze. This far south all this is very unusual and I feel for you guys further north and west.

You know we could really learn to hate you.

It was 1 degree here last night. It kind of reminds me of the frozen tundra. At this moment M3 is working 7pm to 7am so we are not down the garage. We are fortunate as my garage is heated. His garage is also heated but we do all MC work in my garage. If a car needs worked on we do it in his garage.

nice little 100 mile spin yesterday to UGA at Athens to meet my college kid for coffee in crystal clear weather. Only 42 degrees, nice countryside. I guess that's why some of us live here in Atlanta! Of course just a couple weeks ago . . .

My solution to the problem was to load the new TRIGLIDE into a trailer and take it to Tucson where we rented a house for the winter. We live in Michigan where it is now 8 degrees.
Tucson is currently 61 with a high of 70 today so I need to get things ready to ride.
Retirement is great. I did have to suffer some negative feedback from my wife who noted the new RV in the ditch upside down as we left Michigan, but I persisted and here we are.
