Yup, I've got several pics of daffodil blooms covered with snow. I was out in the yard Sunday and noticed the iris's and tulips starting to peek through. No daffodils yet.

Anybody got a transfer case for a '94 Wrangler just layin' around?

I didn't think I'd be able to make it a week with out my computer...but I did it! I think had I not had the iPhone with me....I for sure would have gone completely & certifiably crazy. Guess asking a a/c adapter to live 3 years is about all your going to get. And for $30 I'm back in business...now to wade through the 376 emails that piled up during the week....

I didn't have too much trouble getting around, once I got out of the driveway. I wish the AHTD would shadow the MoDOT crews and figure out what they're doing. You want to talk about a bunch that knows how to clear/plow a road.

My sister's birthday is next month...I remember a couple of times when we were kids there was snow on the ground for her birthday. And that's when we used to live in SW Little Rock.

Hey Jeff, didn't you say you were looking for a 4WD Ford with an fuel-oil burner? Think I might have found what you need....

1980 ford 750 4x4

Thought it might not be "exactly" what your looking for....

You too? After starting mine this morning...I discovered I'm going to either (A) get a battery tender for the scooter or (B) "man up" and ride in sub-zero temps

But with D#2 going up...I have a feeling I'm going to be riding it more...and driving the Pavement Princess less.

I know the feeling, I have considered putting bags on my Softail so I can use it running small parts.

Afternoon y'all; another cloudy but pleasant day out there. Heck, any day without snow on the ground & above 50F is a great day around here.

I discovered a couple of years ago the bags on my C50 can each handle a 12 pack of Coke...but it's got to be one of those 3x4 packs; not the newer "fridge friendly" 2x6; or one gallon (to each side) of Motor Earl. I know you can also get 3 6.0L oil filters or 4 fuel filter kits in each side. The only time I tried to put my laptop in a side bag it didn't fit. Maybe I need a bigger bike with bigger bags?

The batteries on our baggers are outside the frame behing the right bag, but a laptop or a 12pak will fit in the left side. The tourpak(trunk to you Jap guys :-) )will hold a 30 pak with room to spare.
I once went to Walmart and between the two bikes we packed home over $100 worth of groceries.

Uhhh.... nowadays that's just one sack you can carry between your knees
Hopefully found a deal on e-bay yesterday on some bags
Harley softail premium leather saddlebags - eBay (item 260741266835 end time Feb-25-11 09:06:02 PST) Not crazy about the fringe, but that can be removed. If I keep it up this Softail will be what I want yet.
