I can't watch vids at work, but will check it when I get home...I was all excited on the weekend and early in the week, everything was melting and looking good...yesterday a snow storm rolled in and dumped about 4" (10cm) of snow on us...bleh...right now it is -13C (9F), so the melting is done and they are predicting 3-6" (1-12cm) of snow in the next three days...yay... :cry:...but I do have a nice new rear tire, just have to clean/lube/adjust the chain and lube the cables...then I will be good to go if spring shows up... :icon_rolleyes:

I'm gonna make a vid of the "taking it out of storage" process...really want to play with my camera again!!

Later.

I should have kept the old rubber...studded the crap out of it and put in an inner tube...I will have to replace the front as well this summer (if I don't sell it and get a new toy..)...then I could have that on both ends...

Here is my video response...

It is melting, so maybe by the weekend...but I won't be mowing the lawn any time soon...

That snow is piled about 5' high...and it's supposed to snow another 4" on Saturday...but it is going to be above freezing for the next couple of weeks anyway...so here's to hoping... :thumb:

HAAAA....the snow from the road is gone (well, pretty much)...I went for a ride today...WOO HOO!!!...lots of gravelly and sandy bits, so caution is to be used, but man was it nice to get back on the bike...

Just thought I would share...

I would never survive up there just got off work. Was 55ish out and I'm half frozen!
Yama the Panhandle isn't that humid but once you get past Ocala Gainesville area it is all humid! I'm enjoying our dry season not too much left. then 90's and matching humidity!
