Good day everyone and welcome to April! The rain we got over the weekend washed that pesky road salt away so I took the TR out for a spin on Tuesday afternoon for its first spring drive. Oh joy! Now we just have to wait for more dry sunny days and (hopefully) NO MORE SNOW! So...
Good day everyone and hope all is well! It’s been over a year now since COVID-19 reared its ugly head but now that there are a number of vaccines available let’s hope we can all get our shots soon and get back to some semblance of normalcy. While most of February was cold and snowy...
Welcome to February and a very chilly start to the month.
