Sitting here on unemployment for 2 weeks now and summer couldn't seem any farther away. If it would only warm up a bit I would spend my unexpected free time riding.

You can always come over to my place, temp averaging a cool 25c most days, very mild summer this year should be around the mid to late 30c..

Cheers

Police in Hanahan, South Carolina, arrested Elsa from Disney's "Frozen," earlier this week, on suspicion of bringing an unusually frigid cold snap to the area.

Officers arrested Elsa -- who also goes by the alias "Snow Queen" -- as she allegedly attempted to freeze a fountain at Hanahan City Hall:


The Snow Queen was released without charges, however, when the fountain she was accused of freezing thawed before it could be presented as evidence.

The humorous stunt was orchestrated by Tammy Sakalas, of Sakalas Photography, and Glass Slipper Productions, an events company in Hanahan that arranges for princesses to visit birthday parties and children's hospitals.

Glass Slipper Productions owner Lindsay Page told , they were inspired by police in Kentucky who issued an arrest warrant for Elsa last week over the criminally cold weather there.

She added the Hanahan Police Department was "very gracious" to participate in the 10-minute-long photo shoot with actress Courtney Fazely. According to Glass Slipper's Facebook post, Elsa ultimately was sentenced to community service for her mischief.

Ok so everyone by now is chomping at the bit except for our southern and south westerners.

Sitting here I looked back to 3-07-14 the day I picked up my f6.:icon_mrgreen: I had to rent a u-haul to take my trade in down and pick

up my f6.since it was very similar to this year 20 degrees approximately 2ft of snow on the ground. and the roads all salt,cinders,

and potholes out the @#%$! well anyway I got out for a 200 mile ride on 3-11-14 50 degrees. then cool for a week or so then started

riding to work on 3-25-14 so lets all hope for the same or sooner warm-up!
