It’ll just be some added patina! Whatcha got there Jim? I thought you just had your special and your XS1.
Hey Jim. At least you got em out of the back of your truck.
The other one`s nice "n" dry inside my shop. It rained all day yesterday and all the snow was gone. High in the mid 40`s. Last night this happened again.

I think they're a 77 and 81. Also got an 82. Mostly just parts bikes. The 82 (still at Phil's) has a title.... so who knows.
Uh oh....you’re gonna need a barn soon.
All my farmer relatives have thes cavernous Quonset huts that are just such great spaces for machinery, man I’d love something like that!

Looks like you sat to close to gggGary at breakfast and picked up the hoarder bug.
JIm, those look surprisingly like the scoots 1/2mile brought home several days ago and you wanted the wheels. Glad you got 'em.
meanwhile, back to the weather___Snowing here finally...this will be the 1st time since last Spring I will have to shovel

Snow Sunday cleaned off the truck Monday. Woke up to this Wednesday morning.
Damn cold last night, Goddamncold tonight (-10F).

Had -23 below F here last Sunday 
. This coming week-end and next week it is supposed to be below 0 every night. Ever see one of those vids where someone takes a glass of water and whips it overhead and it instantly vaporizes in a freeze frenzy? Yup, that's done in my neck of the woods. Almost expected every Jan/Feb here in N. Michigan. The South is starting to look better and better each winter, and the bikes in my garage are starting to act like teenagers on prom night. Expecting another 7-10" of snow again on top of the cold. Kubota plugged in - check. Fireplace roaring - check. Garage heated so I can work on XS during the storm - check. Blankets piled on the bed - check. Life is good except can't ride

Do hope the weatherman is wrong for next week. I know other places will get colder but this will be cold enough.
Oh, good grief.
A -24°F morning, temps staying in the negatives for 3 days?
No thankyew.
Yesterday was a mild 60°F, light showers.
Had a rather rare event out here, don't see many of these.
A full arc rainbow.
Folks were whipping out cameras and smartphones, taking billions and billions of pics.
Could even make out the secondary, double bow, whatever it's called.

A long time ago the local McDonald's had a January special. Whatever the temp was at noon was what they sold Big Macs for. We had a very cold winter that year. A lot of Big Macs were sold for less than a quarter. One day the high was -5. They actually gave a nickel back along with the Big Mac. This was in the 80s, I think a Big Mac was 89 cents, maybe less.
-17 high on Wednesday -35 low that night. I do not remember ever seeing a projected low of -35F. Only good thing is if we survive that it may be 40 on Sunday. 75 degree change WOW. Time for shorts and flip flops Sunday.
My shop is roughly 500 square feet with a 15,000 BTU electric heater. I think it may have to work overtime.
Another pleasant 60°F sunny day today.
Then, a coupla hours ago the tail end of that "polar vortex" hit here.
Couldn't dodge it.
Hunkering down...

Tonight and tomorrow the temps here are supposed to crash. Temps are looking at -16 below zero Fahrenheit with wind chills possibly dipping to -50. Gonna be hard to make the dog-o go out to potty! I sure hope my truck is able to start since I have to park outside.
