Lakes in Wasilla still frozen over, nothing really green yet, all trees still lean and dirty brown looking, gonna be a bad fire season i suspect.
My motorcycles still have not come out of storage.
Business is so bad in the concrete circles my shop had its gas cut off for non payment, and the day temps are in the lower 50’s but the shop is actually around 45, and I think I just caught a bug as I usually keep some heat in the shop, at least 57. So I took the day off, the Accuweather extended forecast changes every day, two days ago they forecasted 70 degree days around Memorial day, now they are back peddling to a cooler forecast.

I needed a new pair of Carhartt insulated pants, Fred Meyers went seasonal and only has summer gear so I bought a pair from Amazon, even with shipping it was cheaper, gonna buy more thermal underwear as well, especially those heavyweight Moose Creek shirts, I think Alaska will have basically a year long winter.
Pisses me off the extremely limited amount of good cold weather clothing in Alaska and for only a limited time.

I've just returned home to Pocatello from San Diego. I ride my Fat Bob to/from work nearly daily in San Diego. The F150 4x4 is on standby for rainy days. Pocatello is alternating between hot days and thunderstorms right now. The roads still have lots of gravel on top of the asphalt, so extra care is required on the bike. That is always the case on the rural roads where gravel driveways meet asphalt roads. My son has dropped two bikes due to the gravel (and his inexperience).

Watch the volcanoes. They are acting up. Have a game plan if they have a major eruption.
