Yesterday the sun was out brightly and the temp was up to 42 ºF ... and I had a bad case of cabin fever, especially since the forecast was for snow and more snow.
So what about a pick-me up? I went for a ride!
Traction is lousy when you have to drive thru the melting snow, but what the heck ....

Finally got warm enough to go for a ride. Was in the mid 50's today (Sunday 3/11). Spent about 1 hour driving around.
This video is the worst part of a drive in a Cobra!

There were only 3 stop signs in that video. When my super accurate Smiths odometer reads 0 MPH, thats a good stop for me!

How about putting the mic in the door panel? That way it is at the end of the pipe, and no wind?

WTM: Are you using a polarizing filter on your camera? If not, it would help with the glare, but you may not be able to put one on the Nikon coolpics. Great video!

Its a $250 Nikon Coolpix and does not have any filter/lens capability. But for that money, it takes great pictures and movies. It also uses 2 AA batteries, so I have a bunch of rechargeable ... cuts down on costs. Thanks.

How about my third ride in the last 3 days! Sure sign of spring, or else we will get 20 feet of snow in the next 4 weeks.

Hard to focus on the videos when one eye drifts towards your avitar

Sorry. Maybe if the picture stands still you can handle it.
OK, how about the flip side?

There is something intriguing about those photos. Not certain what. Maybe I should study them a little more.

Yipeeeeeeeee. Four rides in four days. Too bad they say it will snow starting tomorrow and we may get up to 6 " in my area. BOOOOOOOOOOOO!
At least I got another ride in today. Went for 2.5 hours and drove 48 miles. Got up to 70 ºF in some places. Drove for quite a while without a jacket!
Enjoy!
