No, we didn't miss that snow. ;D  You can keep-it. :P  Yesterday here it was sunny and well over freezing .  Today the forecast is for lots of sun and warmer still.  Maybe soon all the ice will melt from my drive and I'll be able to get the two wheels rolling.  We really need some rain to wash all the winter crud off the roads.

Well, today I flipped over my version 1 SOHC4 calendar, and things are definitely looking warmer around here. ;)
