just as video killed the radio star, facebook with it's up to the minute(every minute) updates, almost makes blogging seem like yesterdays news. like frank, I just finished getting my bike ready for the summer. Of course an hour after i finished we had an ice pellet shower with 25 knot wind (i went for a ride anyways). the sideways pic is miranda doing first bbq of the season about 2 weeks ago. she had to shovel the bbq out of about 3 feet of snow first. all for now but more stuff soon; as the weather is warming up.
