Spring is almost here.

The weather is great here. Its been in the 70s today. I have the grill full of steak & potatoes baking in the oven. A fresh salad will finish my cookouts offerings. Anyone else enjoying the nice weather?

Good weather here today as well. I got my lawn tractor out today and changed the oil and replaced the air and fuel filters. Tomorrow I'll probably reline all my fishing reels.

You said it. At least today the wind was not blowing over tree today. That made it bareable.

Tuesday and Thursday evening was just about the most miserable days we have had in some time. Temps in the single digits for highs with a 40 MPH wind.

They are talking about a "seasonable" weather for next week.

It's been nice over here.
The temp today where I work at (Belvedere, Ca.) was in the mid sixties.
It's suppose to get to the mid 70's this weekend, here in S.F.
When summer comes around, so will the fog.

It's getting better in southwestern Pa. Raining and low 50's today.We could still see a major snow storm over the next few weeks but I'm hoping it's about over. The local dirt track is scheduled to open March 30th and I'm counting the days.

Ha! We had a Chestnut tree right on the property line up untill a few years ago. . .you knew it was spring becuase it would "bloom" and by bloom, I mean it would produce long yellow stamens and it would stink like rotting meat for weeks!! And it would attract MILLIONS of LuvBugs They covered the tree, the cars, the ground, parts of our house and the neighnbors house. . .everytime you opened a door they would fly in, it was horrible

As for the weather, it was around the high 60's today

Got close to 70 today.....Almost ALL sunshine........

Detailed the truck......Got to strip down to shorts only and work on turning my fishbelly-white torso tan...(haha)........Old Betsy looks good now! Even broke out the polishing wadding for the chrome!........

Just got done grilling. Too beautiful to stay inside........Grilled a mess of salmon steaks and some chicken wings and finished it off with bacon-wrapped, cheese-stuffed giant jalapenos.........

It was a GOOD day!.........

Spring is almost here. Thanks for reminding me. Here in Las Vegas it usually goes from 50 degrees to 95 in two weeks. I hate summer here. It sucks, with a capitol S. I like 25 degrees to 40 degrees. I think and work best there! In one month, that is 30 days for those of you from Rio Linda, it will be in the 100's.

I gotta move back north, to where I came from. South sucks! There is water. There is fish, there is life! And snow, and skiing, did I mention life!
