It's indeed wicked this spring. Very hard on the car's suspension. Not just pot holes but road wide depressions and off camber distortions you only discover when you're in to them. I have to watch for on coming vehicles that think my side of the road will be better than their side.

On the weekend I saw about a dozen motorcycles of various shapes and sizes using the local roads. Way too early.
I live by the rule of 3 good rains to wash off the salt and sand first. (Ontario roads - YMMV)
If someone wants to see any images I refer to in posts, first check my gallery here. If no bueno, send me a PM. More than glad to share.

Not yet buddy.....but thx for asking..... I was hoping to play a round with Baldy before I left........he showed up 6:30 am Monday the 24th (of March), as we had a round booked and paid for....but I had to cancel....I would have called him but didn't have any way to do so........well.....he showed up.... I tried to take a swing and YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWEEEEEE !!!!! :wacko2:...... got the club back not too badly....but it was the follow through that did it. The momentum took my left wrist to a place where it was not ready to go yet...... :dash2:
  When I got home, I saw my doctor who sent me to a Radiology clinic for Ultra sound and X-rays where they confirmed a broken wrist as well as a dislocated pointer finger of my left hand at the second knuckle  :scratch_one-s_head:......I am still waiting for the orthopedic surgeon to determine the next course of action......the left shoulder has been strange....the pain and discomfort has been moving around different locations in and around the entire shoulder.......hopefully I can get the finger re-set and the wrist may only require a splint......we will know soon......how about you? How is life there without me......? I heard that it poured (in Queensland at least).......non stop after I left.......someone told me that Queensland was sad to see me go..... :cray:......well I was also sad !!! Nice to hear from you brother...
