what global warming?

?????

I thought we were supposed to have some global warming action happening?

Doesn't seem too f'in  warm to me....

C'mon global warming!!!!

I think we need to start up our gas lawn mowers, weed eaters and other assorted gas powered tools and let them run for hours....yay fossil fuels...
Punch holes in the catalytic converters on our cars and trucks....
Let the coolant from our air conditioners escape...

We need some fricken holes in the ozone now!

Canadians need to organise and start silencing the scientists and pundits who are combating global warming. And how about the Swedes too ?...they seem nice...plus they invented cheap assemble-it-yourself furniture . They seem legit.

I agree that yes.... it will suck to live along a coast , or in a tropical area ( insert crying baby sound)...but a tropical Canada and Sweden would rock.
No debate.
We would rock.

We have had to put up with this cold shit for 100's of years.
Now it is our turn.....

Just think of the possibilities!

We would get cocky and strut around at the UN kickin ass, instead of being like the USA's ( or in the case of  Sweden..Germany's)  retarded ugly sister..
People would want to move here for more than our easy welfare and strong beer..
We would trade in our "faggy" maple leaf flag for something cool. ....maybe something with a club or sword.
The Swedish flag is pretty boring too. They could do with some sort of Viking motif.

Our new motto could be ...




You get where I am going....we could be uppity, for once.

As it stands now...how cool can we be as a country when you have to wear a toque and mitts for 1/2 the year ?
Our national animal is the beaver?...not cool....not very cool at all, precious.

And WTF is up with theSwedes?
This is not a cool way to dress. They look like tools.
In a global warmed Sweden, they could ditch this look in favour of something much better.
Just sayin.

And most importantly...
In a global warmed Canada...I could be riding now.
My Harley would never have been put away.

I think the southern hemisphere has had enough good times.
It is our turn.
Just sayin....

Certainly been a while....

Here we are...mid January already.
Only 2.5 months until the end of March...surely to God there will be bare pavement and some warm temps by then !

There has not been a damned thing motorcycle related for me to talk about....therefore I have not blogged.

This past weekend was the motorcycle show. I didn't go, but some friends did.
Same old, I am told.
I will wait until Feb 20th. and go to the one in Montreal...it is a lot better.
There are tons of bikes and different manufacturers there.
I like to see all of the new Harleys (obviously), but I enjoy seeing the new Triumphs and Victorys as well...and all the brands, actually.

Already thinking about trips for next summer.
We think we will do Pennsylvania towards the end of June.
There is a rally.... "Johnstown Thunder" ...that looks worthwhile checking out.
And Pennsylvania is a "no helmet" state. Sweet!
The 3 amigos will ride again....brother Dan says he is in.

For Christmas, Santa brought me all of the goodies necessary to change out my fluids in the spring.
Nothing says Christmas like 6 quarts of synthetic oil and a filter...that's for sure!



I guess you would have to ride to appreciate such a bounty.


Aside from hiding away waiting for spring, I have been playing a lot of guitar.
I had not played since I quit drinking, but it is all good now.
I bought a new Godin with my "not smoking so I have money" ...money.
It plays and sounds awesome.
It took a couple of weeks to get it ordered in.. but it is definately worth it.
And we switched a couple of rooms around, and the new guitar/computer/puzzle room works great.





And now....please stay tuned for this message from our sponsor...

a Great guitar tune !


Tom Petty still kicks ass.
Guitar solos don't have to be all "shredder-like" to be awesome.

...........and now back to our program....

Talking to Brent yesterday, and he said there were bikes out up at Lanark on the weekend. It was pretty mild, but that is a little crazy.
Dan was up in Port Hope and he said that they had no snow, and there were all kinds of bikes out.

Ottawa is back to cold and winter now.  ( insert frowny )

A photo of happy times...2011...mid summer...Quebec somewhere...the 3 amigos.( insert smiley)



A photo my daughter in law took while following me on our way to a cottage for a week.




I can't see my face...but I have to be happy as hell.
Sunny..holiday..motorcycle?
yup.
happy.
