Early Spring in the South
02/24/12 at 13:37:42

Today it was 82 degrees and raining pretty hard. When I went to work at 4:30 it was still raining pretty hard. At 4:45 the sun came out and the rain stopped -- and the mock cherries immediately blossomed. The daffodils opened up. The red bud trees opened up. Spring has sprung !!

All this took place in one afternoon, Feb 24th 2012 ....

It was amazing, you could actually see the too early false spring fooling mother nature into a fatal mistake.

WAY TO RUB IT IN...

I still have to...

-Pull the valve cover and re-seal it after an unseccesful oil plug fix.
-Replace a sparkplug I failed to check for a failed spark.
-Re-jet a carb I re-truned in checking for that failed spark.
-Re-install that re-tuned carb.
-Tighten the belt.
-Tighter a loose belt.
-Change the oil with GOD know's what oil.

Congrats on the warm riding weather... I can picture her now... Cool

You give hope of spring to us all. I'll be in the garage tomorrow weather permitting and mid-terms be darned!!

Ive worn thermal underwear once so far. Havent needed a heater in the shop, nothing so pressing that I have to stay out there when its that cold, & its wont be that cold for long,,havent even put on coveralls, We are still short on rainfall, been getting rain, several 2 inch in 24 hour events, But, Whats got me concerned is, Bugs,, havent had enough hard freeze to kill stuff off, & Im really concerned that we will go right into summer heats again,last year was rough. Some garden plants didnt do well at all, even tho we watered,they just couldnt take the heat, I guess..heck, I dunno,, Im learning,,

I loved that area whenever I visited it (back in the 80s).

That really is a cool job. I mean, think about it. You get a cool title; "Meteorologist"... as if you studied meteors or something. Here's the really great part: you get paid to guess and nobody ever expects you to get it right!
