Early Spring

 Winter was mild this year .We had some cold but it only lasted a day or two before returning to above 40 degree temps.I got out a few times on the Moto Guzzi and the Yamaha R5  but had to waste most of the great winter riding weather laying on the ground under my truck and my wife's new crap box car .Got them both sorted out now and finished up the paint job I had going for the last couple weeks so now I'm a free agent again. There's lots to do but the sun is shining brightly and it's starting to warm up to the high 40's F so I'm going riding today. First I'm gonna call my friend Tony and try to set up a day and time to go put his rear wheel back on his Moto Guzzi.We took it off back in December so he could get a new tire installed and now it's time to finish up that job before the real nice weather gets here. I also have to get started on the wagon project now that spring is in front of us so I can be doing the filler work on it after all the metal replacement work gets finished.I need warm weather to do the filler work and mild autumn weather to paint the car so it's time to get moving on this.Timing is everything . That air jack I picked up last week will be a great help with the wagon project .That was a score ! Well, today is nice but still cold .With any luck it will warm up into the mid to high 40's F by lunch time and I'll be out riding. Talked with my friend John last night.I'm slowly getting back to the motor I'm building for him.I need it finished by August so it's all good that I take my time but last night he told me he's going in for hart surgery next week.Sure hope he comes out of it alright.This is life when you get into your 70's .It's the reason that one needs to make every day count .You just never know when some crap like this is gonna come down the road and smash right into you.So with that in mind I'm going riding on my Moto Guzzi  and enjoying this sunny day. Perhaps I'll get lucky and be able to get out on the road this summer for a bit of this , sure would love it if I do.
