this thread is dedicated to all of those boys and girls that are still not able to ride due to snow, ice, salt, weather, etc.

Well at least your not talking about me !!!   85 deg yesterday

Great pictures, makes me a little homesick.  Many many rides on the roads & using the Ferries.  Plus countless hours of burning gas with the Ski Boat.

Lost Isle, oh yeah, someone told me I was there, I don't remember.........

Yea, those marinas are a dangerous place for me.  Spent a couple of hours on the docks looking at Sea Ray Sundancers in the 30'-34' range again.  I need my head examined for even thinking the thoughts that I was having yesterday. :nervous:   I miss my boats but I don't miss the labor or the $ that I dumped into them.  But...............some really great deals out there right now. ???

Great pics, JC.  Almost looked like the area was deserted!

Trudy & I sat at Saguaro Lake yesterday for about 10 min on our ride, watching the boats.  Beautifull Lake, it was in the 80's & just made us want to get a boat again, so I know what your sayin!  The have a nice Restaurant so we are going to go back for lunch & watch the boats.   Boats & water are an addiction, I just do my best to control it.

It is not that we have less time, it is much time that we use wrong.

Terrie had other plans, so I took off this morning and just rode the delta roads.....all within 25 miles of the house.

Passing through the farm land, stopped to snap some pics along the way.  Here's an old ranch house that still has a working windmill for the water well.



In other words…”I got to ride and you didn’t”  HA!

Nana Nana Boo Boo!

flowers and plants are blooming way early this year.  I hope that translates into a very long sunny season (although it's forecasted for rain the next five days).



Think Positive!

breakfast......a maple glazed honey apple muffin and apple juice.  A typical Calfornia breakfast. :)



Say what?  No biscuit and gravy!  You call that breakfast there?  HA!

and to give you the true perspective.......the view across the levee.  As you can see, the water is 25'-30'  higher than the land down below the levees.



Are you sure that is not N’Awlins?
