Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all. Here is an Alterra cow bell. A free gift from their Coffee Bean Classic this summer that I neglected to mention until now. Obviously a great noise maker for a night such as tonight,... but what does it say about what they think of their team members?

It seems my political/human rights blog, under a different profile, has a bit of a following. Not having posted for over a month 38 visitors hit that blog in short order after a recent post. Only 2 new visitors among them.

Yesterday we still had snow covering the ground. This morning everything was green. Yes, a few days of warm temperatures may be considered an ideal time to ride. For me it was an ideal time to work on the back wall of my home and get it covered back up before the cold comes back tonight. Still work to be done as soon as I finish this post. But why do we need warm weather in Winter to ride when Ray's is open?

I have not been to the gym much either. Gained three or four pounds since Christmas. Turning me from the toned fit individual described as someone who wears his weight well, into a jelly belly.

I'll be writing and carrying with me my drafting tools, as we work tonight, to usher in the new year, setting the tone. And I'll start the New Year with a ride tomorrow, no matter the weather.

Happy New Year! Go Badgers! Go Packers!
