Moving the date, sounds good to me.
Richie
OK,,, not funny guys....
Yesterday morning I was in shorts, sandals and a Hawaiian shirt leaving footprints in the sand on an Antigua Beach and this morning I am leaving footprints in the SNOW as I clean off my car to get to work.
Which one of you guys hid the sun and shut the heat off ??????
P.S. any Sunday for the next 6 weeks or so should be good for me.
Definite slap in the face! Hope the wedding was nice at least!
Thanks for asking, it was awesome.
The wedding went on without a single issue. The weather was perfect, and the beach was a great setting.
Walking my beautiful Daughter towards an archway setup on the beach with the Sun setting on the Caribbean horizon sure had me tearing up a bit!! Lucky for me my other Daughter had us both laughing so dear old dad was able to hide it and keep it together.
A great time away even if it was for only four days.
Glad you had a great trip/wedding.
Sux to come back to reality!
I read there may be a change on the meet ride...
Was the date changed to May 1?
I'm going to officially back out of this one. We just got nearly 8" of snow today. 30's next two days, rain the third day, then high's of 42-43 for the weekend. I don't see the bike coming out until next week.
WUSS!!!!!!!
5 degrees and 6"...that is NOT the length and angle...its cold and powdery.
It's only Tuesday, but I think, judging by all the forecast I see, that we officially postpone the ride until May 1.
Probably for the best. By then the park should be fully opened for the season and hopefully we'll have some nice riding weather.
I personally could use the extra time to get more riding practice in and to polish and wax my remaining teeth. Because by then the bugs will be out and sticking to any shinny exposed moving surface.
Good call! I'll be attending and will bring you some Florida Love Bugs for your smile! No shortage of them this time of year! I'll have several pounds of them attached to the front of my motorhome:shock: by the time I complete my 1100 mile trek to Madisonville:icon_lol:
Date changed on my calendar. Around here they saying by the weekend 20s at night, mid 40s for daytime highs. Our snow is gone but they played hell with the sand the last couple days, so I feel postponing is a good idea.
Even though we've officially changed the date to May 1, I thought I'd post the area weather forecast for the original upcoming weekend of April 10.
Temperatures ranging from the 20's to high's in the low 40's with a possibility of 3" of snow.
I think we did the right thing in moving the date, but we could go back and argue about the weather again if you get bored. Sleep tight until the first.
Might just be sleeping in until then. The weather looks terrible for a while yet. I rode more in January and February.
Just a quick note to those who have not kept up! The original date of Sunday the 10 has been changed to Sunday May 1. There will be dancing around the pole from Russia to here on that date.
Reason: as promised here's the latest forecast, 3" -4" of snow today. Tomorrow record low morning temperatures in the upper teens.
The good news is by Tuesday the temps will recover back up to the 60's.
Can't make it to this one.
Spring Gobbler comes in that Saturday. Always go hunting with my boy.
Ride safe and have fun!
Sunday May 1...OK let's see what happens.
Ahh Pap come on aren't you supposed to shoot that thing before 9 AM and be out of the woods by 12 noon Saturday. We're not riding until Sunday.
PS If you didn't shoot one by Sunday morning stop by the house and I'll let you feed them.Attachment 20130Attachment 20131Attachment 20132
Thanks for the offer Bob. The only feed I have for turkey is lead. Lol. If we don't go to camp to hunt, it might be possible.
This weekend coming looks awesome...hope May 1st is!
It's currently 86 degrees in Orange Lake, Florida. I'm departing Wednesday morning for Pa. Hope to bring some of these warm temps with my migration north.:icon_wink: Looking forward for the meet on May 1st. I know dam well I'll be firing up the coal stove and propane heater when I arrive in Madisonville:shock:
Not to worry Bob, went down to Tobyhanna creek to help stock the fly stretch for this Saturday's opener. It was beautiful in the mid 50's. Had to take my jacket off on the walk in to prevent deodorant failure. Whats really scary is the forecast for this weekend into Monday is in the 70's. What a deference a week makes. Is your house up here air conditioned?
Have a window air conditioner in the bedroom which I usually use in July/August. Hoping to put my place on the market when I arrive home. Looking forward to call Florida home and visit Pa. in the summer:icon_wink: When I was a young man and could walk miles with no bother, I fished for "Native Trout".....those stockies are corn fed and rather "mushy" IMHO! See you the 1st of May:039:

We may have to postpone the ride again if this weekends forecast is correct!
It may be too hot come the first.:icon_lol:
Arrived home yesterday morning! Getting the bike out of the trailer after finishing this post and give it a good cleaning and oil change. Want to be ready for May 1st.
Welcome home Bob!
It's Sunday and the forecast is for Mid 70's. Hope you got all your cleaning and oiling done so you can get out and practice your safety riding skills. There, I gave you the excuse to sneak out of all your relocating chores.
Remember up here we ride when mother nature says yes and common sense and responsibility says no.
Thought I'de take the bike out and warm up the motor prior to the oil change. That task turned into a 120+ mile ride....Rt 6 to 423 to Barreville N.Y. to 92 to Hawks Nest, to I-84 Rest Stop (where we meet up on May 1st) and back home! Temp was in the mid 70+.......as such I'll be doing the oil change after breakfast this a.m.:icon_wink:
Yep, that's what I've been saying, you can take a NE man and put him in the sun for a full winter but he still remembers his priorities. You have to heat your oil on a beautiful day before you do your work.
Now Bob, you can forget all those southern yarns like "due to fall out you never pee under a coconut tree".
I happen to be passing one of my favorite pig out buffet spots in Dickson city yesterday called the, Royal, when I noticed a red F6B with a depth charge on the back. Over an hour later I was heading back home and passed in the other direction. That bike was still there. I'm just hopping the owner of that bike didn't put my favorite buffet out of business! I'm pretty sure I know who that owner was and I'm sure he is capable of doing just that, but far be it from me to point my finger and name that culprit. After all he might have been starving after hibernating all wintering in FL. He will have to step up and admit to his plan himself.
I only bring this incident up because one of my questions for next week is how many want to end our ride at a good local restaurant before they start their ride home? If so what kind of food is preferred? The choices would be a good full menu featured place/bar called the Hotel, An open barbecue place for ribs and chicken, or we could even swing by the above mentioned buffet featuring everything from Chinese to pizza and everything in between. Just ask the culprit what he thinks.
Anyway all of the places are near to an easy access (all within 5 miles) to either I-81, I-84, I-380. We should be able to arrive at any of the restaurants by 2:30 - 3 pm at the latest barring any dilly dallying. Then it will be up to you when you finally leave based on how fast you chew.
PS; I would also like to mention you should bring a camera, there are many photographic opportunities along our planned route.
