Here's the 28 on country roads today, March 30, 2013 about 4:30PM.

Watertown Township, Washington County, Ohio.

Happy Easter to All. Keep 'em between the fenceposts.

Regards,

Martin Mindling

OUCH, You have to stay OFF those rock throwing roads !!..

mmindling · 03-30-2013, 05:33 PM

I understand, Fred.

The truth is that I backed up the A onto Rauch Road (gravel) from the pavement on 676, in order to take a "country" picture. The car travelled only ten feet in reverse on that stone.

It's always interesting that we have such great paved roads here in rural Ohio, given the economic condition on the county.

Happy Holiday,

Martin Mindling

Took my 30 ccpu out for a 60 mile ride this afternoon. Sorry, no pictures. She ran flawlessly. I hope this is the start of nicer weather. Getting real sick of snow and cold!!!!!!!!!!!

Still too much mud for me out there.Besides that,after driving over the melted snow in the roads the cars are still turning white.The salt is still in the pavement.There has not been any rain to wash it off.Last year at this time,or earlier,I was riding the bike and had to creep out into an intersection to see around a snowbank.It was 80 degrees with five foot banks on the sides of the roads.

A little nice weather in Colorado allowed us to do the same.

Martin - I think you should go topless on a day like that..

We were out today in the '31 Deluxe Roadster - put about 20 miles on her. Just too nice a day to pass up.
