BWAAA HAAA HAAA!!!!

Seriously, it's better down South!!

You so deserve a noogie.

I'll help.

Where is it you live again, Nanci? I may just have to visit the SIL in St. Petersburg. You may be able to ride farther than I can, but can you ride faster?

"Three hurricanes in one year- what more can the weather gods do?"

Oy! What have you done? Never tempt mother nature!!

Seriously, though, all you snow birds, it's meant to reach a high of 87 here next week.

Ah, Seagrape's scared- she's by the coast, aren't you??? Fortunately by the time the hurricanes get to the middle, they've mellowed out a bit. Still VERY scary.

Sadiekate- St. Pete is a cool city. Make sure not to miss the Dali museum!!!!!!!

99% of everyone rides faster than me, especially since I am now repentantly slowing down!

Hey, it's 41F now- I have to warm up my car! I had to turn the heat on in the house for ten minutes while I got dressed. Can't wait till it gets to 78 later...

Don't send me a noogie ok...

I'm tired of biking in 34c & very little shade...Don't get me wrong, it's nice to have wonderful weather but it's a bit too hot for me..

I'm looking forward to a smidgen bit of rain as the dust, pea gravel & horrible hills will come just that bit easier to get up.

As i've said before i'm not sure what's worse 34c & blazing sun or -34c & very little sun...

Definately +34C is worse! Much worse! You can only take off so many clothes...and then you are still too hot! I tend to collapse as soon as it gets over +20C. When it's cold out you can always add another layer of clothing, move around to stay warm and have a good excuse for eating rich food.

It hit 86F here on Sunday and all I could think of as I was sweating while putting in a new flower bed was - summer is going to be miserably hot. But for now - the weekend is going to be in the 50's and raining. Lovely. At least the plants will be happy.

Not that I don't like museums but if I go it is for the fishing. I have to say I was impressed with how many bars there were along the Pinellas Trail.

Hey Doc,

Here's the deal on the PNB and margarine: starlings, magpies seem to like the stuff and in fact devoured the stick of margarine in less than half an hour! They are tidy little feeders, too, all I ever see is them wiping their beaks on the grass or something nearby. The magpies were stealing chunks of PNB that I had plastered on rocks and the bird feeder and stole so much I was wiped out in ten minutes.

Soooo...to make it more challenging, I put a whole jar of chunky PNB out and laid it on the side. Now the Magpies can't get into it but the starlings can and they crawl half way into it to get at the bottom as it disappears! The margarine everybody liked. They just attack it, in pecks, and I haven't seen any glued-togehter birds yet. They need the fat and protein to make it through the winter.

My philosophy is this: a live, fat bird eats MORE MOSQUITOS!!!

My hubby and I watch out our RV window, a front seat to the amusing scene of birds fighting over the food. I only feed them when it's snowy. Which silly Salt Lake has been, despite it supposing to be 54 degrees this time of year!!!

If you want to see a hilarious scene, put out a stick of margarine or PNB and watch the antics of some of the feathered friends locally.

could you please hold off on the rain for the Cinderella ride? Bikeless just sent me the 10 day weather report and

She's been working so hard and looking forward to this so it better not rain is all I can say. Last two years it didn't.

**Bike Goddess** · 03-17-2006, 12:57 PM

Trek- Says showers- 60%. Showers I can handle, on the other hand.... RAIN different story. Could be like Tuesday. We went out for a ride and only got hit once -about 10min worth (we stayed under a tree for awhile). The rest of the day was clear and windy! So, moral of story- you never know what MN is going to do!
