Very nice Raymond! Thanks for the photos. You like to walk in the pre sunrise hours eh? That’s a great way to start your day!
I love it. If I come across one locally it might be very hard to resist.
I go out early and that ends up being pre-sunrise at this time of year when the clocks have moved, also in the shortest days of December & January. But by June, the sun will be up hours before me.Very nice Raymond! Thanks for the photos. You like to walk in the pre sunrise hours eh? That’s a great way to start your day!
A side benefit, gives best chance to see the otters. These shy creatures are crepuscular in their habits.
Thanks for the new word in my vocabulary.
I had to look that up! One can learn quite a bit here and not just about motorcycles.Thanks for the new word in my vocabulary.

Weather right now is fine. Wednesday night, though?
High winds swept through the area throughout the night. Power went out around 2330, 0000. Awoke around 0200 (Thursday) to the sound of a neighbor firing a gun into the ground in order to alert as many people in the neighborhood as possible to the huge fire on the low ridge across from our house.
Fire was 100 to 125 yards away, we went ahead and got our stuff together in case we needed to evacuate. Fortunately, the wind died down around 0300/0330 and the fire was put down. We were back in bed around 0500.
Power stayed off until 1700 Thursday. Internet/cable was finally restored this evening (Friday) around 1600.

Well, it is April 3rd and things are usually starting to warm up a little here on Canada's sunny southern coast, but here is what I woke up to this morning.....
When I looked up where your new place is, I noted that it is at a more southern latitude than where I grew up in the State of New York. Shoveling snow is a very distant memory for me, last performed in 1977.
Yup - the 46th parallel is marked on Essex County Road 50 - about 10 km south of our home. We are the same latitude as northern California and Turin Italy, but it STILL is in Canada, so sh!tty weather is still a part of our "thang"! There are some really good wineries almost within sight our place and others dotted all around the County.
There's no doubt about it though, our antipodean comrades definitely got the better deal in terms of weather when they split up the British Empire.
...but of course, they got all the nasty spiders and snakes too.
We had a wee touch of snow overnight but it's been a lovely afternoon, that's British weather!
FWIW we live on about the same latitude as Moscow.

Got any missiles just layin' around?
Askin' for a friend....
It is 37°F on my ride to work this morning with the new (tiny) bug-screen. I can tell there is a slight difference in the flow of air hitting my chest and helmet, not as much anyway. The air hitting me in the face is no longer forcing a neck workout at 75MPH.
Oooohhhh...37 deg. F (just under 3C) at 75 MPH is pretty danged cold Boog.
You must really love your work!
We are getting soaked here in East Tennessee right now. Should be like this all day, so indoors it is. Worse down in the Alabama and southern Georgia area. They have some tornado weather passing eastward, and Tezas has already been hit.

We had rain all night but it stopped about 20 minutes before I rode to work. Lots of spray on the road but at 54°F, it was a pleasant ride.
