I've been back and forth between Miami and Daytona all week. Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, and had a bike show in Miami yesterday.

Got invited to be a vendor at Daytona Bike Week in a month. Definitely doing that one. That is going to be freaking awesome.

I'm at the Super Speedway right now, hanging out in the garages with about $10M in Ferarri's.

Wathing them work on an Aston Martin now. The pulled the entire rear end/transmission out of it in 3 minutes.

I'll have to show this to my coworkers - good for you!

SNOW!   I said.....MORE SNOW!   :-\ :-[

Sunday temp was around 70 degrees...today... Snow and it's currently 19 degrees feels like 8...where I am.

More school days adding to the kids summer.

Headed to Ft. Lauderdale by way of Minnesota.  What was about a  2-3 hour flight is now more like 4 -5. 

I miss the old days. 

Heard Biloxi is getting ice.

I hope you get in / out of MSP with no weather delays.

Thanks and me too.  This winter weather has me feeling blah.  Glad to hear it's nice in Ft. L right now.  The sunshine should help me feel better.  :)

Isn't a big cold front heading that way tonight?

Breitontime

Could be. I'm back in Arkansas now. Started my bike build for the show at Daytona Bike Week today. Got a single side swingarm ordered, got a frame I'm about to hack up and redesign, and an engine to hot rod up a bit. Thinking about putting a turbo on it. Built a seat out of carbon fiber for it, still have to do the tank and fenders, maybe some sidecovers if I decide to run them.

DogsWin7

Sounds nice Bre.   I bet it's fun to ride a motorcycle.

Is it to much to ask for a little heat??   Come on!   TB send some please!!! :)

It is. Especially when it's the only one like it in the world.

Get you a cafe con leche and some Cuban bread for breakfast. You'll thank me later.

I love Cuban food. In the 5+ years I dated one, I learned to cook it quite well.

True Believer

I'll have to do that next trip down there!   

DogsWin7

Snow is on it's way.......hooray!!! ::) :P :-X

Trust me - you ain't even close to the Artic!

And I never will be!!   But it's too cold this winter for me.

Cooking ham,beans and cornbread today!   Hope it makes me feel warner.

Guess I should have went by walmart and looked at the bread aisle to see how serious this storm is going to be tonight....

DogsWin7

At first I thought it was because the Super Bowl is tomorrow.     

Is there even a thread on here to discuss the game?     Broncos are going to win!

4.25 inches of snow.  Heavy stuff but no ice.  Seems to be stopping now.

HorseFeathers

Ridge Rat

No ice, but still snowing like crazy. Fun trip to Mayflower in the morning.

I first put "Smoking Drunken Chicken".   But I didn't know if that was a bad thing to put.  :)  So I changed it. 

Having Drunken Chicken Nachos tonight for the game.  I am starving right now.

Thats right.   You have too.

Drove to work today on a solid sheet of ice.  Saw 2 cars do 360's and one go off in a ditch.  Drove my 25 to 30 and made it just fine.

They were driving like maniacs of course.  Idiots. 

Uncle Ivan

Ice on lines took down two poles down the road last night.  Servicemen/Linemen came out in the middle of the night to repair.  I love those guys.

Typical Craighead drivers, then.  They're especially reckless when there's snow on the forecast and the liquor store closes in an hour.

Breitontime

Just walked outside at the shop, it's sleeting.

Well, now.  Schools closing by the bushel today in anticipation of bad weather.   Get ready for school in June.  Back to zzzzzzzz.

Be safe today all.....

Eighteen wheeler on its side on in Little Rock? Folks better use some some sense this morning. If you don't have to go you better better not go.

This weather is wreaking havoc on my bank account. Being stuck inside is bad.

Oh well, Lot of parts on the way for the engine in the bike I'm building. I've been holding off dropping $800 on a set of CR race carburetors, but I spent about a hour looking at them and pulled the trigger. And an Ohlins rear shock, that ran me a touch over a grand.

Hopefully it's nice out tomorrow. Or, maybe I need to go back to Florida. That'd be cheaper than shopping for parts for one of the three bike builds going on right now.

This is a zoomed in pic from my phone this morning from the backside of the post office when I got to work today.  You can "barely" see the Goblin water tower overlooking the Stadium. I guess that it could have been worse, getting more snow from North of us or more ice from South of us.  You guys and gals take care out there.

Had a lady today run a stop sign right in front of me.  LOL... she gave me the dirty look.  I laughed at her as she went past me.  I had to put my brakes on.

No one can remember the rules of driving I guess. 

No ice today except on the trees.  They were beautiful! 

Uncle Ivan

Ice coating all the power lines here, thankfully no transmission lines down from what I've heard.

Been without power going on three days now.  Lots of tap lines down.
