Oh man, here we go. This has to be the worst mental feeling in the world.
Here is the scenario. 2011 has ended. Even though it was technically winter I was ready to pull my motorcycle out for another ride. I mean why not right? The temperatures were more than warm enough to ride. Bundle up, strap on a helmet, grab some gloves, and continue on down the road in my pursuit to spend a life behind bars! The moment I mentioned that out loud weather hit us, and I mean it hit us hard!!!! We went from 55 degrees to 11 degrees in two friggin' days! I mean what the hell is that all about??? I know how the weather works around here, and can change at the drop of one simple statement.
So now, I am in the house bundled up to keep warm. With rising costs of utilities we keep it a little cooler in the house these days. Anyways, my point is I am bundled up, sitting inside a box, and I am losing my mind! All I can think about it is wanting to get outside and do something. My garage isn't heated either, and I found out yesterday I can't work out there right now either! I spent about 20 minutes out there yesterday working on my project bike. By the time I got the 34 year old clutch out of the engine my hands were stiff and cold. What do I do to warm up? Go bundle up inside a box! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
So what am I supposed to do during this time of year? I can't afford to heat my garage to keep myself around my motorcycles and tools, and mentally I can't afford to sit inside this damn box! I honestly don't know how to deal with this feeling anymore. I used to be fine with it, but after spending some time living in Daytona Beach, FL I got weak. My blood has thinned to the point I can't deal with the cold at all!
So I sit here typing this wondering what other cold people are doing right now. What do we do when we can't do what we love? I don't have an answer, but I am actively looking for help on this subject.......
