I'm going crazy here. It's been 15 days since I've been on the bike and it feels like 15 years... been snowing for the past 2 weeks off an on each day... and not even enough to pile up to your a$$hole... just enough to keep coating the roads and making things a mess   

Wow bugger! Be careful what you wish for though or you'll end up with a cold butt!!!

I do wish it was a little cooler though... sitting around doing nothing at night is a sweat-fest... so can't get up the motivation to get into the shed or garage like I usually do to get moving on the Kat which is really bugging me.

Ugh I know what you're sayin Pete... I sure had a cold butt last year at this time!!! All this crap fell within like 12 hours:

Wow that looks cold alright!!! Definitely pass on that!

I'll stick to my sitting in with the kittens doing absolutely nothing and sweating my arse off...

I can't wait for the 80+ degree days... That's my comfort zone right there. For some reason I'm always colder than most people... but it comes in handy during the summer and I don't need to spend any money running my a/c 

Oh now that's a handy skill to have!!

I'm usually happy with a fan, it's the humidity that gets me...

I had to freakin' say it. We just got about a foot of snow over night. Just spent over an hour shoveling before work today  My house currently looks similar to the above picture. COME ON SPRINGTIME I AM READY FOR YOU HURRY UP PLEASEEEEE

Hahahaha awwwww...

We're getting setting for a top of 36C (96.8F) today and 39C (102.2F) tomorrow with the night time temperature supposed to be staying at 23C (73.4F).

Apparently overnight Sunday night it's going to stay at 27C (80.6F)... not looking forward to that!

There is a small part of me that envies your snow... just a small part... mainly I'm glad it's hot enough to justify the pool and cold beer! 

ohhhh a swimming pool :dreamy look: darn you pete... I haven't been swimming in years    My neighbors have a pool and I see them get to use it maybe and I mean maybe 10 days a year. It just doesn't get that super hot here very many days. I wish I could uproot my job and my house and my family to a warmer climate!!!

And thank you for the temp conversions to F for me 

Oh I love our pool, granted I don't get to use it as much as I would like but at times of year like now where it is just too damn hot to do anything it's a life saver.

The pool at our old house was a small above ground pool and in weather like this it was like soup... this one stays pretty cool always which is awesome.

But you definitely have to live in the right climate, I can't imagine why you'd bother if you live somewhere it gets cold enough to snow. Unless it was an indoors heated pool maybe...

Two kittens went to their new home yesterday, hope they're doing ok! The rest are probably going to have their first big adventure outside the back room today, exciting stuff! Will hopefully get some pic's if I can... they're pretty damn quick now...

Should I not say that we had a BEAUTIFUL sunny, warm day in the San Francisco Bay Area yesterday? That's what I figured....I won't say it!  (I need to find my purple 'fro again, Yama!). (Found it! Duh on me! Per usual! LOL! )

LOOOOOVE the pix of the bike line above. I am going to get back to riding if it kills me!!!!!!!!

Oh...and I'd like a kitten, please.

One last thing.... I think I win here! 

Love,
purplepanzy 

Sorry, gotta steal your win 

Despite the heat I actually got most of the rest of the recirculation box for the shed done yesterday... filter cages done, motor mounted up, another inner wall done, and the motor room door on.

All that's left now is the left internal wall where the belt channel goes through, some bits at the top of the front, and some sealant then she's ready to roll as soon as the filter material arrives.

It's not the prettiest but I'm just using whatever offcuts I have left around the place.





And Saturday saw two of the kittens off to their new home and yesterday saw the rest have their first big adventure outside the back room... took some photos but they move too damn quick so they're all blurry except this one once they'd calmed down a bit...



Yep, they're getting big!!!

Awesome re-circulation box!!!!!!! And completely and totally awwwwwwesome kittens......how I love them.... I really, REALLY need to get another kitten!!!!! *checking the section we're in*  Oh good....TF....I can awwwwwww over the kittens s'more!!! Where are the darned heart emojis when I need them!!!!! <3 <3 <3


I'd like the one that looks like a Siamese, please. I'm a sucker for them! <3

*Edit: now I need to go find all the threads with kitten pix.  Oh yeah....and did I mention that I win?

Hahaha hopefully the re-circulation box does what it needs, would love a decent environment to spray in this time around after the little dirty bits that got embedded in the white stripes on the 450... 

And yeah those kittens are awesome and mum's really just a big kitten too, she's just over 12 months old.

The white ones look Siamese because they are 

Mum is a short hair Oriental, and Siamese and Oriental are the same breed with different colouring depending on genes. Mum's a chocolate silver spotted tabby and their dad is a solid chocolate Oriental just like the kitten in the front there. The other kitten is a Chocolate tabby Oriental also. The two that went to their new home were Lilac and Chocolate tabby Orientals.

Oh, and the little girl Siamese with her face to the camera is a chocolate point and the boy Siamese is a lilac tabby point...

Fantastic little guys but quite psycho as kittens can be 

Hey...all Siamese are psycho, even before adding the kitten in...I think that's why I like 'em...I identify! LOL!

The Lilac Points are my fave...probably a perfect name for the little lovely that already went to a new home. I can look at kitten pics all day (see, I *am* psycho )

Those snowy pics are pretty impressive, too (I *think* that's what the white stuff is....I'm in California, and it's sunny and beautiful today! 

Lucky you!!! We do have some sunshine here today finally!!! But it's still in the 40's and the wind here has been vicious :grumble:

But we all still have each other!!!!!!  (And some of us have sunshine and riding weather *running away*  )

baaahhhhhh lol!!!

I would have ridden yesterday and today but I've got that fender and cowl project going on... which sucks cuz last night would have been a great opportunity to finally try out the heated gloves I just bought!

I DEARLY want heated gloves. That's going to be my next purchase. If it's any comfort, I can't ride right now anyway....so I'm here tormenting YOU! 

hahahaha ok ok torment away 

these are the gloves I got... (on page 2) http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=71244.0
AND since they don't wire into the bike I can also use them for shoveling snow which (as you have already seen) I gotta do from time to time
