Spring is here in full force!

Finally! Spring has sprung and summer is around the corner!

We went for a bike ride on Saturday afternoon, and it was absolutely gorgeous! The first of many for the season.

We also had another trip around Casco Bay in the sail boat! We have begun our renovations to the inside the cabin, but we're not fully decided on what our final design will be - we are going to customize it to suit our needs. But it still sails great, and I don't mind being out on the waves one bit!

Today, it's back to work though and I have many tasks ahead of me. First on the list is to see about getting some manure, compost and some mulch for the gardens. We spent a great deal of time getting them weeded and raked out, now it's time to 'dress them up'.

I also need to get some large stones moved to the front yard, to make a curved wall at the corner of the driveway. Then it's on to relocating many rosebushes to the other side of the yard, and replanting them.

I got a sweet gift card to Home Depot for my birthday - and I can't wait to use it to get something new and fabulous for the yard! But, first comes the work. At least the weather is gorgeous! I'll turn on the tunes, lather on the sunblock and get to work!

Enjoy the day, and rock on with your bad self.

Scooter trash

OK, so I have to admit, I am a sucker for a man on a motorcycle. Especially a Harley...

The sound of the bike drives me crazy. I merely hear one and my head snaps around to see where it is. (I also have an affinity for Firemen and my head does this same swivel to check for a firetruck. Something about a man in turn out gear makes me crazy in the head. Not like hump their leg crazy, but you know...) Anyway, today, I saw many people out and about enjoying the nice weather. There was no rain early in the day so it afforded many folks to get out and appreciate the weather.

I always look at motorcycles, no matter the brand, style or color. I think they represent independence, freedom and a certain attitude that us folks who don't drive them wish we had.

People who ride motorcycles are totally cool!

However, I don't understand how someone could actually enjoy riding one of those 'crotch rockets' because you have to bend so far over the tank to get to the handlebars ( I mean really, what makes that fun except for the speed??) not to mention you look like a complete tool when you're riding one. I much prefer a cruiser to a rocket. Oh who am I kidding, I hear a bike, I look.

I think that a helmet should be an option. I don't think someone should have the right, whether it be State or Federal government, to tell you how to ride, what to wear, etc...
Much like I think the seat belt law is absolutely nuts. (In the event of an accident, I prefer to be thrown clear of the vehicle)

I have it on good authority that due to the price of gasoline, many folks are going the way of the cycle (some motorized some pedal power) to get around, and I think that is totally cool. However, today, I saw something that actually made me throw up a little bit in my mouth.

A man on a scooter. ARE YOU EVEN KIDDING ME?

I know that everyone has their own preference, but come on! What man in his right mind would be caught dead, DEAD on a scooter? That isn't what Hells Angels means when they call you 'Scooter Trash'! Someone needs to revoke this guys 'man card'.

Honestly. My prediction is this guy is either married or in a serious long term relationship. No woman in her right mind would want to persue this guy, he can't even ride a real bike for cryin out loud!

I mean really...the only protective gear he wasn't wearing was elbow/knee pads.

I don't care how cost effective they are, or how 'cute' they are, if you're a man and you're riding one, you look like an @ss. At least in my opinion.

Enough for now. Talk with you tomorrow.

Rock on with your bad self,
