Melt out

The snow is cowering in deep shade now.
Very early melt out for us.
Good fatty weather!

Please note the epic and gratuitous amounts of social distance.

This little guy was on the side of the road, had to stop for a quick pic!

Ride done, enjoying the view for a min before heading home.

New bike day for my youngest today. She now has 4 bikes total. Overkill? Maybe. But but but, they're all different!




And I rebuilt my old Schwinn into a SS yesterday.

I use a couple miles of MUT to get out on my rides. In the summer I frequently have to move sun bathing snakes off the path. I'm always afraid someone is going to run them over or do them in for no good reason.

It's a Tiger Snake, this one was dead so nothing to be scared of. Live ones can be a bit aggressive and very venomous.

NJ is more than refineries on the turnpike. Not sure if I could outrun him this early in the season. :-)

Lol. She pays attention when I talk about them, in a supportive way. But I've got 7 now and she doesn't ask too many questions anymore. She knows I'm cheap and end up selling watches, parts or bikes before I bring a new one home.
