Have to say it's been nice the last couple of days, near 70 and sunny!

 Now if I only had the bike legal it would be perfect.

Yesterday I was hiking in the fast melting snow of NH and it was 75F! It was so warm that the snow melted so fast it made coming off the mountain very wet and muddy  ;)

cheers

I thought about you when I heard of the weather out on the Island yesterday Seaweb...mind you I didn't think about it too long as I was busy doing yard work in shorts and a T-shirt and then went for a ride...  8)

Sorry had to take a shot...lord knows you guys usually fair far better than we do in the weather department!
