The little short fat buddy was ! about riding right before a storm, and @basfnb said "He's just worried the puddles will be over his head" River is still WAY up here. Too deep to get to some parts of where we usually ride. I took the little one out for a cruise yesterday afternoon. We have had a LOT of very hard, constant rain here this year. I'm seeing lots of tree roots on the trail now from water erosion. Been riding some places 10 years, and some of them are new this year (just cut) and they all show some major erosion from these spring storms. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted April 9, 2021 Our ride is back on , the weather lady says it will be over by 10:00AM , so we got 6 bikes so far , if my son in law and his wife ride it will be 7 , and they are a lot of fun to ride with , cause they not afraid of getting down and dirty , especially when they riding a bike don't belong to them I don't care if it flash floods tonight , it is going to be fun ---I find that after a hard rain the bottoms of the holes get filled with run off and they might be high water but the bottoms are hard , for the first few thru , that is my edge for tomorrow , leader of the pack going in , last coming out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LedFTed 1,127 Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Looking at derived motions winds at noaa, [animation loop], it looks like the storm may hit KY. north of that looks like a cyclone, headed towards the great lakes. 60s an 70s during the day, i can handle that. 🙂 Edited April 9, 2021 by LedFTed why not 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LedFTed 1,127 Posted April 11, 2021 still cool for april, temps in mid 60s during the day, must be global warming. still looking forward to planting some this year. i'm tired of irish taters, that have green skin.. besides mators grown in the garden taste ten times better than what ya can buy. i got nothing against south america, but veggies grown at home, just taste better. i used to work the tiller barefoot. i like the feel of the dirt. talk about cheap thrills. but it do feel good... 🙂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bighanded 1,235 Posted April 19, 2021 good grief!!.. I'm already into my 3rd cut on the yard this past week...beautiful 70s temps..pool has warmed to 73 just from the sun.. I'll crank the heater this week to slowly bring it up to a nice 88 degrees..the grandkids are begging me to go swimming. wife has been on the pond last 4 days in a row and caught no less than a half dozen bass each evening. all our seasonal flowers are planted front of house and around the pool and I wore myself out saturday with my Echo limb saw and brush cutter rigs...thank God I have my old blue 300 ..pulled I think 11 big bundles of cut limbs and 3" sapplings back to the burn pile. point is..Springtime is here in the sunny South..can't imagine still dealing with bleak gray skies and snow... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
