Another welcome from Seattle-ish.
We had a rare snow last month that forced my kid to park his car halfway up the road to the house because of no traction. Then earlier this week we had 75 degrees and sun. Crazy! I'll send the 75 degree day your way so you get out and ride. :)

Congrats on finding this place.


My Condolences on your geographic disability. Not that being from Canada is a handicap, but it's still freaking cold here, I would go even crazier way up there!
I often have found myself when I was not looking, nor did that discovery take place where I thought it would!

I do not teach math, but I am aware of what a "-" sign means. And in my world, that "-" in front of a 45 means stay the F inside.

I am also not a psychiatrist, but I can tell you without a doubt that Larry Woolley is certifiably insane. Then again, I guess one doesn’t need a degree in behavioral sciences to determine crazy. We all know a Loony when we see one. If it talks like a Loony, looks like a Loony, and rides like a Loony, it’s a Loony. (This was not a Canadian joke, just stating the obvious—this fella is a Loony).
