...good thing we've got the ability to deal with it. :icon_mrgreen:

105 degrees Fahrenheit vs 11 degree's Fahrenheit. THIS is winter preparedness:

It's is nothing short of absolute nirvana when you get to that hot water and ease on down into it. Almost heaven. :icon_cool:

But then you have to come back out... :shock:

3 sheds? I'm guessing one is the ammunition dump.

Nope. Ammo dump is in the crawl space. Gotta keep ammo at a constant temperature. Too much temperature swing in outside structures. :nono:

Closest shed on left is man cave No.1 - Hunting and fishing equipment, lawn tools/equipment, ladders, 5kw generator, snowthrower, outdoor manly man supplies, etc.

Shed behind it is man cave No.2 - where my DR650 sleeps, as well as bicycles, StreetStrider and my new to me ElliptiGO.

Shed on the right is man cave No.3 - where I do spend most of my time. F6B is in it, as well as the beer fridge, music, all of my tools.

I spend a lot of time out back when winter is gone. I hate staying in the house... working from home gives me cabin fever bad, so when I'm done I'm out there... puttering around :icon_cool:

The cold has moved on and we had a high today in the upper 60s with lots of sun. Riding tomorrow and it's supposed to be even better but today wife and I took a walk on the fishing pier out into the gulf. The water is really clear and looking so blue.

No tar balls today but that white sand beach was covered with oil a few years ago after the Deep Water Horizon disaster. Many hours went into cleaning it up.

I bought some frozen shrimp (10 pound frozen block) a couple of years ago from a local seafood wholesaler and the package came from Louisiana. I swear to Hades they had an slight hint of an petroleum taste to them.

We threw them out. :icon_frown:

Yesterday I was riding thru King and Queen County Virginia (pop 6,000).

This is beautiful country, if you can get over the fact that the county's biggest industry seems to be logging. Since I was coming from northern Virginia, I started this ride from Rt 2 (southbound) from Fredericksburg VA, and then Rt 721 to this road:

Nice ride, once thru Fredericksburg.

Roads are in good condition along this route. Yesterday the road was covered with dried salt and a few spots of sand. Considering that a few weeks ago there was about 6 inches of snow alongside these roads... Anyway, yesterday it was 65F. The only snow I saw was in the ditch. I had to stop to remove layers and change gloves. Before noon.

I'm going to take a quick jaunt possibly later today on my F6B. 50 degree's here, roads are dry and most of the heavy salt has been blown away by traffic. No salt dust clouds anymore. :yes:

I just had the old Ultra out for a bit. The jetting doesn't"t like the cold so I try to take her out on the milder days. The computer doesn't"t care so my F6B is the cold weather ride.
Not as nice as yesterday but wind therapy is always good😎

Yeah, but you will still get sand and salt all over your nice clean bike when you ride that beach. Just like I did yesterday in sunny ole Virgin-eee.

CAN you ride the beach? I see an SUV in that picture.
