spring has sprung! (around here)
this morning was amazing. i had to leave my house at 5am, to meet a contractor guy. he has never been to our job before, and i try to keep it safe by leading newbs out there for the first time. it is our busiest bridge. i pulled up to our meeting spot, groggy. i looked left, and there is my favorite coffee shop. PEETS! i run in grab a cup. the guy shows up..quick chat..we go!
we saw the sun come up. it lit the skyline up! all hollywood looking. amazing. cool weather, hot coffee..amazing scenery. great start to the day. i was snapped back to scary reality when i had to pull my truck out of our cozy lane closure into insane traffic. gas gas gas! (at this time, i would like to apologize and offer condolences to my eastern brothers and sisters still wearing puffy jackets and muckboots)

A hot cup of coffee on a crisp spring morning is hard to beat.
Winter is putting up a good fight, but we are slowly pulling out of it. Highs are getting up to the 50s/60s/70s, lows no longer below freezing, and just a little bit of green. I can't wait for summer, having a new boat that I can't use is a killer.

In NW Ohio, we haven't had a day over 55 since October, but there are a few signs of Spring.
I laugh to think that most years we have green grass by the end of March......not this year. |

Today, it got within a couple of degrees of the melting point. In the sunshine, things were melting.
Tomorrow is the first day of spring and we are supposed to get above freezing for three or four days. The Miata has been shut in the garage since Oct.  I am SO looking forward to Spring. Best Les
