Robins and red birds everywhere will be 60 today. Getting the garden ready for planting in a couple of weeks.

 

General rule of thumb here is to plant your garden around May 24.

Memorial day weekend here.

There's exceptions of course.

Some plants are frost resistant better than others.

Of course I hope you realize I mean that in the MOST KIND possible manner.

 

Its a tough job...but when the boss says I have to work in San Diego for 10 days I have no choice ....gotta earn my WH Show spending money!

Where’s our man @19richie66 with the balmy summertime snow cone weather update?

 

 

Was wondering that as I was reading... but figured he was busy working on a big move somehow...

There’s my buddy from the Big Mouse country!  I knew you would have some “kind words” to warm up the “frozen chosen” of the north country!

 

Hey Mike—California? Really? It was a happy birthday!  Have fun out there and bring some of that weather back to the nor’east when you return.

 

Richie—turn on the BIG FAN and face it north please!

Both of those are great ideas

 

 

 

In my my past experience, Richie was a great WH host in FL!  I bet visiting him would be cheaper that trying to transport his heat!

I mowed my yard again tuesday and finished painting one end of the house yesterday. Today I have to trim some trees. 

 

 

[19richie66 16,942]

Been outside painting the house. Last week I got in my truck and it was 103* inside. 93* the day after. Yesterday it was 43 when I got to work with a high of 62. Crazy weather down here also. I sat down to drink some coffee a minute ago and heard my A/C kicked on.

It’s actually cold here for San Diego. After work I decided to take a walk down at Mission Beach. Won’t be taking a swim! No sun and air temp was 64 degrees...the Pacific Ocean was 58 🥶

In the mountains of Western NC we had high 30s this morning and by this afternoon it was high 50s, sound about the same as Richie's weather.

 Who didn't see that coming?   

 

[Stormin 9,975]

Slight touch of frost this morning. But a least it's dry. Not for long though. Rain forecast for all afternoon and evening.

 

[ebinmaine 63,157]

@Sparky.... Must be terrible. 

 

 

0 here this morning headed for a forecast high temp of 35 and sunny!!

 

Tomorrow could hit 39!!!!!

 

Must be summer already!

 

I can feel some snowshoeing coming up.

[19richie66 16,942]

With multiple recent weeks near zero degrees, the forecasted 40’s of next week will feel quite balmy to us.  Guessing we will see some folks in shorts...

 

Sunday afternoon at about 15 degrees I passed a guy dressed up in cold weather gear driving his Harley! Gotta love Wisconsin

You suck Ritchie....BUT I will take the extended cold over hurricanes any day!

[19richie66 16,942]

Love you too Jim! Yeah them hurricanes are no fun. In ‘04 when we got those four in a row, it was a mess. Every weekend, another hurricane. Just enough time between storms to go out and pick up shingles, spread more roof patch on the open spots and clean the yard.......just to get ready for the next round.

In ‘06/‘07, I rode my hard tail (struts) Shadow plenty of times in single digit temps.  It was my goal to ride every month of the year, so if there was no snow or chance of melted runoff freezing, I rode.  I made myself a steel seat pan that I could bring in to work and keep warm, and had a warm bed when I got home from night shift.

Had my years wrong...

[PeacemakerJack 10,671]

Kevin—you get the iron butt award for riding that thing or maybe the I’m 50 and can’t stand up straight award. However that is a cool looking scoot.  I rode my Vulcan as much as I could back when I was in my 20’s.  I know that like you I rode it at least once in every month mainly to say that I did

 

Thanks for sharing the cool pics...
