Today,,, I worked in a t-shirt, shirt, sweat shirt with hood, and jacket with hood! Our weather (as is typical here in northwest Nebraska) can change in a wink of an eye. Cold with wet slippery snow and wind...
Well, at least I knew it was coming as it does every year, but I'd just as soon it would be clear, calm, and 68 degrees every day of the year with some rain to keep water levels up. Now that's not to much ask. :shock:

It hasn't rained here in 3 months; 8 months back we were in flood conditions all across north Louisiana! The ground is so hard the Armadillo are standing in line at the welfare office! Try 80F on for a few days.....summer never has left us!!
I thought that picture that was posted not to long ago of Louisiana, it looked awful dry.

That wind, it is the worst, and just makes everything more miserable. It can also take five inches of snow like we got last night and turn it into 16 to 24 inch snow drifts on my side walks... :(

It's a wonderful fact that since we moved down to the central CA coast from Idaho 10 1/2 years ago, I have not required my snow shovel one time. Anticipating that, I gave it away before we left. One of the few blessings I can see living here in LaLaLand.

Happened real quick here. But yat-ta-hay, it's mid November and Mr. winter can visit as early as late September, first of October.....one of those deals where the weather has been so nice for so long it just wasn't expected when it did happen.

I'm really hoping that we don't have our annual 1/2"+ or ice this winter come January or February. Id rather have 3 feet of snow to 1/2" of hard ice.

It was 76* and sunny here today. I took the day off and went for a 200 mile bike ride through the country. Glorious day. Supposed to be a rain/snow mix tomorrow night.Good on you ol' buddy! :shock:
My family honestly believes that your bike, in "her" garage, somehow startled her, or at best made her very very curios....I'm guessing that was the first time she had ever seen a Motorcycle up close....
my daughter thinks it was the headlights, that possibly looked like two really big eyes to the dog, or the fact there had never been anything where the bike was before, don't know what it was, but I swear, to this day, she no longer runs and just jumps out into the garage, but she stops and looks before jumping down the steps.
My daughter was the first to pick up on it being your bike out there as being the reason she is now so cautious in the garage. We just don't know, but it's kinda funny.
So, I'm thinking you should come back out for another visit, so my Lab can get another look at that bike.....whaddaya think?

Today is terrific.
Here we have it, the 19th of November and Linda and I sat our on the patio just in short sleeve shirts (pants, too) and had lunch.
What was for lunch you might ask?
Well, we had a farm fresh, beefsteak tomato sandwich, with farm fresh lettuce and fresh basil, all put together on nice wheat bread. The sky was a rather deep, cloudless blue.
I rather doubt if we could have done that if we were still in Idaho. I just checked the weather cam in Coeur d'Alene and it is 38.3 degrees with a light rain and snow predicted.
One of the few consolations.

Well Russ ole boy, that invite does have a certain appeal to it. After all, I never did get to ride Beartooth or Chief Joeseph because of the ice storm. I didn't mean to terrorize the dog like that, although I do seem to have that effect on some. Gotta give this some thought Russ, assuming these lold bones are up to it. Thanks.

The whole family, including the dog, would like nothing better than have your company again. May even get to catch a Walleye if you're here the right time of year.
Here is a picture of Hank at Dry Falls, which was, believe it or not, the largest Water Fall in the world....15,000 years ago.
And that is a fact!
Everything you see in the background was once a Water Fall on the Columbia River.

Sounds nice, but I'll take northern Idaho over California any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
