Since we are not allowed to comment in the Winter Depression Thread, I am starting one where those of us in warmer climates can discuss our happiness about playing in the pleasant cooler months in thi

I've only been here 6 months and 1 day, so I do know what skiing is. I just always HATED it because the white stuff you refer to is very cold and quickly turns to a greyish mush that refreezes when th

I just bought a FLSTC back in March. It's beautiful riding weather down here which is enhancing my winter happiness. Photo evidence.

That's a pretty sweet ride CS!

I miss mine.  I use to bring my bike down when I would go to FL for the winter.  Ahhhh, the good old days!

Have fun ridding and be safe!  All those blue haired, white knucklers looking for the cheapest buffet will kill you on a bike.  I have many stories!

@CarlSpackler wow that is a beautiful bike.

Thanks guys. I will be paying this off for a while, but it's a fun ride. I did the stage one upgrade on it a few months ago and now it has a bit more giddy-up. It is a little scary down here, especially during snow bird season.

Played golf last week end, trying to get a round in during a break in the storm.  Fail, played in the rain and got drenched.  This weekend I'll be skiing in the So. Calif. mountains... Big Bear Lake, they've gotten 10 feet of snow so far this winter.  It will be sunny per forecast, got my weekends backwards.

@Lihu,  I have a lifetime pass at Snow Summit / Bear Mountain and a cabin with a short walking distance (1/4 mile) from Snow Summit.  That's where I go.

Besides, I'm getting too old for tree skiing and hiking around in the snow.  I play it relatively safe these days.

A friend of mine has been on me to go over to his house and check out his new Trackman.
Yesterday he though a football / BBQ party, so over I go. I never pass up a good party.
What a setup, big screen in front of you to view results, DTL and FO video recording, 20 ft net - hitting area.

Outdoors, he has a putting green and his Man Cave is only a few steps away whenever a beverage is needed.
I asked him if he wanted to sell "memberships"   :-)

Aw, you dirty bastards! I was just happy that I could get out to hit a small bucket at the local "golf dome" today! Then I went and soothed my frayed nerves with a couple glasses of Pinot Noir and some calamari at a local watering hole! Hmmmm! Life isn't all that bad!

I would have loved a golf dome when I lived up north.

Well my friends, it's going to be in the low 90s and very humid today. It's going to cool back down, but it seems like this wonderful season is coming to and end. Farewell winter. We will miss you.

I'm sure you can find real winter if you travel far enough.   We are in the rainy season in Michigan but I hear in New Hampshire there is enough snow to shovel you can get your fill if you really miss "real" winter.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny
