Winter start was a no-go

[FJ1200W]

Greetings
It's winter here in the Midwest US.
Temps were zero or below, less with wind-chill, then, a couple of days in the 30's, then - one in the 50's!
It really wanted to start.
If I had warmed the oil a bit, it would have.
Friday is my next window - fingers crossed.
This year, basic maintenance is all I see needing to be done, and as much riding as possible.
Not much new here. Bought a pickup, F150 Ecobeast 3.5, my 1st pickup. Crappy gas mileage, but it is fun. It needs a LSD ASAP.
Still have a couple Subaru Outbacks, kind of like a motorcycle, lots of maintenance....
No new motorcycles, this year, I hope to be selling off more than I am buying.
For a few years I sold vintage Japanese motorcycle parts online for a variety of dealerships. During that time I was able to buy up stuff that I figured I might use for something some day. There is a swap meet once a month in Independence, Missouri. I thought that might be fun, profitable and most importantly, free up some space.
Family is good, growing, no complaints here, life is good.
Hope everyone is well or better for you!

If you have an old style shop light (with a screw in light bulb) put it under the engine overnight - makes a good little 100 watt heater!
