HC'n

 The hill climb came and went a couple of weeks ago.  I didn't get to watch as much as I would have liked, but per usual, from what I did see, it was and continues to be the best mix of horsepower and athleticism on snow in my humble opinion.  

It is coming

Had a bud send me this shot from the Lotoja website that he saw when registering for this years ride.  Notice anyone familiar? 

Doint the spring thing!

 This is what it has been doing lately.......

Snow at night.....

 Waking up to a snowy world.  

 Same day.....instead of shoveling the snow like in the morn....., we were riding the melting snow!

Yea boys

 Man did it feel good to be in warm weather clothes hanging with good buds.  

 THe deck at our vrbo.

 Big ol beach. 

 The mornings catch.  

 Jason with the Red of the day.  

Day break loading up the boats getting ready to hit it. 

Down South

 Pretty solid to get down to New Orleans and other points farther south a few weekends ago for my good bud Tyler's bachelor party.  Twas a hell of a good time.  

Of course we rented a 15 passenger van.  

 The scene in Grand Isle, where we stayed and went fishing for a couple of days.  

Yea, pretty sure they get hurricanes here.  

 It is criminal how good the shrimp was down there compared to what we get in the mountains up north.  

 Yup.

Full on shrimp boil. 

Last Granite

 Mission of the winter went down a while back.  It was a cold ride up, but wow has it gotten easier to ride up there with a three year old instead of an infant!  

 In the money zone where the hot water spills into the pool.

 Picnic!  

Happy Bday Nate

 My bud Nate turned 40 the other day, so, naturally, we went sledding.  

 Fresh snow, good buds, bluebird, vistas for miles.....doesn't get a whole lot better.

 If you are not getting stuck, then you are not trying hard enough.
