I Hate Winter - further ruminations from a disturbed mind.

" I love Winter" said no one...ever. 

More tasteful ( and not so tasteful )  pics from talented winter haters.....starting with a bad pun.

In keeping with" I can't wait for spring", this past weekend was filled with stuff to make me want an end to winter, even more.

Friday night my wife and  went to the Outdoors/Boat show. Lots of very expensive boats, some cool exhibits...the usual. Fun to see.

Sunday, my brother in law and I went to the motorcycle show in Montreal.
Lots of expensive bikes, some cool exhibits... worth the drive.
And I felt at home...apparently there are lots of old guys with grey ponytails wearing leather vests and Harley T's  living in Montreal.
I guess that is where they/we all end up.
Who knew?

The shitty news is that yesterday there was a snow storm...hurrah !
More snow to melt !
My thoughts below....




I need/want a tattoo that says that.

There needs to be a class action suit against Canada for luring my ancestors here under false pretences.
I do not believe they were retards.
I don't think they had low self esteem or felt the need to punish themselves. ( like..."I probably practice self abuse too much and will burn in hell unless I repent..It's one of the biggies says Father McFelch...Hey!  let's move to Canada! God will surely forgive me if I spend the rest of my life suffering there...as long as I can keep my paws off' of  my pud...")

The only logical explanation is false advertising on Canada's part.

Here is an immigration poster from around 1900.
....it sure as shit does not look like that outside at this moment !

Can you imagine an immigrant's 1st winter in 1901 ?

Bet there were some very pissed off and shocked people.
It was probably like... " Dude!!!! what's that white shit falling from the sky, and why is it so cold ? "

But the important thing is...the Canadian government should make up for their heinous duplicity .
Seems only fair.

Last day of February today !
March tomorrow...

Just think..only a few more weeks and there will be actual motorcylce blogs!
Not just weird ramblings...but rides, and stories of adventure and daring-do.

stay tuned.

February blahs...and I hate winter.

Is it just me, or does the shortest month of the year actually, seem to be the longest?


Some pics from various creative people on the sphincternet that describe just how I feel about winter...

I know...you are saying  "tell us how you really feel...and no holding back this time.."

OK....Every snow flake is like a punch in the face or a kick in the balls...

I mean, WTF was wrong with our ancestors?
All the places around the globe, and they picked the cold place?

Samuel Champlain and those guys are not heros... this is all their fault.

The Spanish were down south grabbing great tans and  piles of gold, and these dummies were in Quebec trading furs.
Were they retarded or something?
After the 1st winter it should have been  " this sucks...we're going south".

And even worse...what about everyone who came here after those 1st dummies?

Was it like....
 " Hey Luigi, instead to grow olives and live in this nice village by the

Mediterranean, I found us a place where we can be tormented by biting insects when it is not freezing cold. Let's move there !"

?????

So now we freeze..

And wait for spring.

sigh.....................................................

Coincidence? I think not....

Less than a week after my call to arms to defeat the enemies of global warming, we had 2 record breaking days of warm here in Ottawa .
Coincidence? I think not!

Good show, people!!!
There was obviously a great fossil fuel hole in the ozone created by your efforts.
It is back to being cold now, but at least some of the snow is gone, and the roads are bare.

Combined with the news that Punxsutawney Phil predicts an early spring, things are looking up.

On a more "from this planet" note, I met up with Dan and his girlfriend Julie, and Brent for breakfast this morning in Almonte.
Was nice.... we just shot the shit for an hour or so and talked about riding and stuff, and got caught up.

This afternoon my wife put on a Harley themed extravaganza for my birthday.
Awesome cake, balloons, decorations...the whole nine...

Family came over, lots of great food some good laughs.
Was lots of fun.


And now..we wait for spring. Last year I got some small rides in the end of February...I am hoping!
