Fingers crossed on the fruit trees Sister!

It is indeed Thor's Day and Friday Eve! Couple that with a new episode of Vikings (in which we will see both Bjorn and Lagertha fighting in battle) and I call it a win! The fact I got to ride today is just icing on the cake!

Excellent episode of Vikings! A bit heart wrenching at the end, but excellent nonetheless.

Rain tonight and all weekend, but the bike is in the shop getting some custom work anyway so no worries. It will just have to be a PS4 and chores indoors sort of weekend.

Wife and I are volunteering w/ Susan G Komen tonight at a charity event so we will have our good deed out of the way. ;)

Good for you and your lovely wife, Browncoat1!! Doing good deeds is a great way to spend a rainy weekend. I'll be curling up with a book my own self!

We'll count it as one Sister. After a long rainy weekend I am ready for sun! Clear and mid 60s here today. A bit of wind, but I'll take that over the rain any ruttin' day. Picking up the bike from the shop tonight so I will get a bit of riding in this evening.

By the way Winter, I am officially breaking up with you. I am dating Spring now. Maybe we'll see each other again in November. Until then take care. ;)

I am indeed Sister! Picked the bike up yesterday on the way home so I got some time in last night. Rode her to work this morning, and being 68 this afternoon and the sun being out it will be a fantastic ride home. Calling for 81 degrees tomorrow. Hopefully we are through with Winter.

Hump Day Eve people!

Forecast is 81 today, cloudy and mid 70s tomorrow, then rain Friday Sister. Seems we are still about a day or so behind you weather wise. Supposed to be a decent weekend though so hopefully that weather blows through your area quickly.

Still trying to see if I can swing D*C this year. Still on the fence finance wise, but we'll see. If nothing else I'd like to at least make Saturday for the parade and to see everyone. Guess it is up to the Norns to decide.

I'm in the same financial boat, Browncoat1; but hoping for the best. Well, the storms apparently have been 'delayed' a day…so we're cloudy but warm today. At least it's Thor's day…AND Friday Eve! That's a good thing. Plus Vikings tonight on History Channel.

30% chance of rain all day here, but it has held off so far. Radar map shows some rain just west of us, but it is a small arm of a front down south of us around Petersburg so we may escape it dry before it's all said and done.

Sold off my old Suzuki motorcycle last night and got a bit more than I had hoped for it. Yay for money! Hopefully some of that coin can get me to ATL in September, but we'll have to wait and see.

Thor's Day! Hail the Protector of Midgard! Hopefully he will see fit to keep the storms away today.

Can't wait for Vikings tonight! Want to see Lagertha lay the beat down on her no good husband!

Lagertha does rule! She reminds my of my own Shield Maiden! Stoked for the Game of Thrones season premiere! Got to watch the last couple of episodes from the previous season as a refresher.

Not calling for rain here until possibly Monday, so that can't be your storm Sister. Figure your unpleasantness will be heading up the western side of the mountains and going up to the northeast.

Happy Friday browncoats!

Big Suck. Bah!

Season opener was a bit slow, but good to have it back on. Last 5-7 minutes w/ The Hound and Arya in the tavern w/ the Lanister men was the best part of the whole episode.

Good weekend. Sunny and warm. Spent hours detailing the Harley and got some riding in. None today though thanks to the rain. Still they are calling for clear warm weather the rest of the week. Should be a good one.

Agree on the slow pace, but I think it was to establish where everyone was. Last few minutes were worth it!
It's Hump Day eve…and sunny here in TN. One of our neighbor's trees blew over onto the roof of my husband's shop..no severe damage…just a mess to clean up.
Enjoy your day, brown coats!

Sorry to hear about the mess Sister, but glad to hear there was no real damage.

Thought I was going to get to ride today since the rain knocked off around 3pm yesterday, but apparently around 4am this morning it decided to get one parting shot making it too damp to ride. Oh well, guess we will need the rain and I can ride the rest of the week.

Next Sunday's episode of GoT looks good. The royal wedding should provide a good bit of drama and entertainment.

Hump Day! Lunch is past so "officially" the work week is more than half done!

Weather was a bit cool this morning, but sunny and warm this afternoon so the ride home should be fantastic! Can't wait!!!

Good news on GoT being picked up for two more seasons. Can't say I am surprised though given how wildly popular the show is with viewers.

So ready for Vikings tonight. The rise of Lagertha! Hail the Shield Maiden!

By Odin's Beard! Did you watch Vikings last night Sister? Best episode of the season and definitely one of my favorites of the season.

Beautiful day today and looking to be a beautiful weekend. Going to get some saddle time this weekend and take the bike down to Williamsburg. Hope everyone has some plans to get outdoors and enjoy the Spring weather.

Cheer up Sister. Mondays are soon behind us and the rain won't stick around long. Suppose to rain here tomorrow, and with us usually being right around 24 hours behind you in TN looks like we are going to get wet Tuesday.

Got to ride the "5 & Dime" Saturday. Took the Harley along Route 5 down to Colonial Williamsburg to the water, then hopped the ferry across to Scotland Landing where I picked up Route 10 and followed that back into Richmond. Stopped at a little BBQ place on 10 for a bite to eat. Pretty good beef brisket.

Spring is in the air, but so is the pollen. Haven't gotten the heavy dosing we normally do this time of year, but I figure as wet as it has been recently that may have delayed it some. Got to get the grass cut this afternoon after work.

Oh, and Sister, as to the last episode of Vikings only two things. "Blood Eagle" and Yarl Lagertha!

Been raining since o'dark thirty this morning. Few scattered thunderstorms rolled through. Few power outages. Temp is dropping and expected to dip just below freezing tonight. High tomorrow is showing as 55 degrees and temps the rest of the week are low 60s. Rain is supposed to taper off this afternoon / early evening. Hope it dries up enough to ride in the morning. If not I will live, but I will not be at all happy.

At least it is not Monday anymore! I'll take that as a win.

Cold the past couple of nights, but high 50s yesterday and today. Supposed to creep back up into the 60s tomorrow. Back in the saddle after two days of rain and cold. Weekend is looking pretty good so far.

Yay for new episode of Vikings! Yarls Ragnar and Lagertha take their son, Bjorn, to Wessex to raid and get revenge on Ecbert! Should be a good one. Only three episodes left this season. :(

Agreed Sister! Every single Friday is a good one!

Vikings was great last night! Everyone will soon learn not to trifle with the Shield Maiden. Hail Yarl Lagertha!

Previews left me concerned that King Horik's reckless lust for revenge will see him dining in Valhalla before the end of next week's episode. Seems that only Ragnar is keeping his wits about him and Lagertha is wise enough to follow his lead.

Luckily your rain missed us yesterday Sister. Sunny, cool ride home on the bike yesterday. 55 and sunny this morning. Supposed to warm up as the week goes on.

Had to buy a new lawnmower last night since the old one finally gave up the ghost this past weekend. Now I have a jungle to cut so the new one will have it's work cut out for it.

Hump Day! Week is passing fast. Hope everyone is doing well.

Yeah, guess it was time to put the ol' girl out of her misery. New one is pretty shiny. Cutting the grass when I get home before it becomes an unpassable jungle.

New episode, but sadly only one more episode after tonight. Course this is the huge battle and supposedly one main character is supposed to die. Better not be Lagertha!

Long live Yarl Lagertha! She was a Valkyrie personified on the battlefield! Ragnar fought like a man possessed, as did Bjorn, a chip off of the old block. Glad Rollo lived. Happy to see Althelson made the decision to return to his adopted family. Wish they would have explained that creepy, toothy creature that was in his bedchamber that night a few episodes back.

Did you get rain yesterday Sister? They are calling for a 70% chance of thunderstorms here this afternoon. I know we are normally about 24 hours behind you in TN.

We got a torrential downpour Friday afternoon. Got some heavy showers off and on throughout the late afternoon, but just after five o'clock the rain came so heavy that visibility on the drive home was down to 10-15 feet at points. Only lasted about 20 minutes or so, but it made the beginning of the weekend interesting to say the least. The peals of thunder from Thor's wrath lasted into the mid evening. Of course I love thunderstorms. ;)

Had a good weekend other than a lot of frustration with a brand new lawn mower that sought to thwart my will Saturday. Right out of the box and aftern an initial cutting, then shutting it off long enough to dump the grass catch bag, it would not start for anything. I spent a couple of hours working with it trying to get it to work. It was all I could do not to channel my inner Jayne and use a grenade on the ruttin' thing. Took it back Sunday and exchanged it for another which seems to work fine. Guess it was just my Mal luck that I got stuck with a lemon out of the crate.

Did get some riding in Saturday and Sunday with the nice weather. The wife was free for a change this weekend so we spent some time together, had dinner out at an Indian place nearby that we have always wanted to try, and just puttered around the yard and house getting things done.

Hope the Big Suck is treating everyone well. We are supposed to have raing starting this afternoon and going all the way through late Thursday. Supposed to be heavy thunderstorms with an amount of 5 + inches of rain total. Going to be a wet, dreary week, but at least I will be stuck indoors at work. ;)
