Well, the mechanical stuff on my bike is pretty much done....it's ready for the road, whenever the weather gets straightened out....like in about 4 months I suppose. I changed the oil in the final drive yesterday. Now all that's left is to wipe and polish. I like a nice, clean bike, but I'm not anal about it like some people are. I can ride for a few days and never touch it with a cleaning rag, as opposed to a few people I know, who have to wipe down their bikes at every gas stop. So for now, I'll clean on it just to have something to do and spend the rest of my time dreaming of the first warm day.

Despite my lackluster attitude and whining about not being able to ride, life is pretty good right now...as it has been for some time. I eat well everyday.......I sleep in warm bed with a good roof over my head....I have clean clothes to wear....my house is warm....I have friends and family close by. Millions of folks on this planet don't have those things on a daily basis like do and would probably give their right ( insert appropriate body part of your choice here ) to have these things. So what the hell do I really have to complain about? Nothing.....not a damn thing!

So, I'm going to make an effort to think more positively about things and feel a bit better during the next few months of dreariness.

Now, I'm going to sit on my bike and make engine noises as I imagine the rush of the wind in my face.
