Spring Has Sprung

[H]

Jetranger posted in the Humour section due to his snow/18 degree sprintime environment; chin up -- I'm sure it will pass. Currently in NH there is a bit of snow on the tops of our mile-high plus hills -- but down below the grass is green and decidious trees should soon display their full adornment of leaves. Our daytime temperatures have still been a bit wobbly, ranging from the 40s to low 80s, but the coats are off. Unlike when I first posted here about my new job, as it was, when winter approached, the grounds here look much like in the px in the site post:

Now that Lake Winnipesaukee is ice free, the Mt. Washington (the lake's cruise ship) has set out on its trial run for the season to make sure everything is in proper operational order. I'm reminded, also, that in just over a month it will be bike week -- motorcycles everywhere -- with rallys and the main race next month. Although traffic still increases, one thing has changed for the better: bike week has simmered considerably since around the turn of the century it accumulated not dozens but hundreds of arrests, usually alcohol related. Summer will also bring NASCAR. So, it seems, winter has lost its hold here in New Hampshire...

No more slipping and sliding, no more freezing fingers...

Anyway, for those of you in the temperate areas of the northern hemisphere that still have snow, I'm sure it won't last long (leastwise, not on the lower elevations)

I know that the weather is getting warmer when I realise that I am getting out and about on my Motor-bike at every opportunity for rides around the local countryside!
At the moment the temperature varies between 5*C early morning, to 15*C mid afternoon!
As soon at it reaches 22*C, I know that the outside temperature with be in the same comfort zone as the temperature in my living room!

The landscape is full of colourful Spring flowers now, and most of the trees are in leaf, after being bare all Winter!

Hopefully, the snow, (which I dread so much), has long gone now, until the end of the year.

Summer is approaching!.... ...!

Paul... ...!

But now, ABOUT TIME for a very short spring

We had a nice 20°C on the North German Plane today. I spent it under my MGB with a blow torch scraping 36 years worth of under seal off..........

The Florida rainy season has arrived. This is the 17th island green at Sawgrass on Saturday.

Tell ya what Webb, I'll make that hole !!!

get me a back hoe up on that mound, Dig me a little 10ft' diameter hole,,, and PRESTO' , I'll put that ball right there in that Sucker now,,,,

and thats without me using a putter, just my foot ~ !!!

I can't play Golf, don't know the slightest thing about it,,, other than you hit the ball somewhere,,, and hopefully it finds a hole maybe

last time I played Golf,, the Ball ended up behind me somehow and the T broke in 1/2,,,,,

I then took up those 1970's Yard Darts,,, but nobody would come around to play with me,,, can't imagine why ??

I'd love to see you try that shot. It doesn't matter how big the hole is if you can't hit - and stay on - the green.

Short = water

Long = water

Left = water

Right = water

A little bit short = sand

I need to do the finish work but the add-on mini-porch of my abode (a former summer vacation cottage about the age of Fozzer) didn't flood this year; unlike the previous constructionists, I put in a new floor that is above the ground level.
Webb, that's still a pretty px. Add a rowboat/canoe or one of those small paddle boats and it's a neat little park. Of course, despite the Scottish ancestry in my mix, I've never cared much for golf; if I'm going to carry a club while strolling through the grass it would be to fend off antagonistic or slithering vermin...

I ...took up those 1970's Yard Darts... but nobody would come around to play with me... can't imagine why ??

It was 1980 in Pennsylvania and my opposing contender was 8-years-old; haven't seen her since although I talked with her over the phone when she was 9 or 10.
