Lookin'

Yep, lookin'... Looking for this stuff, in particular. One of the rites of spring for me is going out looking for asparagus. Of course I need to squeeze that in between bike riding, fishing, hiking, and whatever else I have going on... and spring is a time when I have way more things to do than I have time to do them. Life is tough! Well, maybe not tough, maybe difficult. Well, maybe not difficult, how about complicated. No, not complicated either.. oh hell, life is good for me, what else can I call it? Oh yeah, RETIRED!!!

Back on my bike...

In the past 2 days I have put a little over 35 miles on my bike. Yesterday I went up the Bizz and down the trail system in the Susanville Ranch Park. Even though it could have been a little warmer for my blood, it was comfortable enough that I had a very nice ride. The day before that I went up the Janesville Grade and found that you still can't drive a 4 wheel vehicle up there yet. I did see a guy on a snowmobile who was doing some really weird stuff with it... and another guy had a quad, which should have done well on the hard packed snow. There is not enough snow for a snowmobile and I'm sure that snowmobiler probably didn't do his machine any good running it on dry pavement. I took this picture yesterday of the trail I was following. My tracks looked like the first of the season. It's supposed to snow tomorrow so maybe the bike riding will be out for the next few days. Ya gotta love the wild weather swings in the spring!
