Easter bonnet

Couldn't resist the great (well, for New England anyway) 50° weather today.

After 3 months of sitting in the cold with a solar charger on the battery - I pulled full choke, cranked up and got it running smooth in about 30 seconds. Fast idle about two minutes, then pushed in the knob.

Seems to be running *great*. Getting harder and harder to hold it under the speed limit ....

Drove around Eastern Connecticut, where we've got *lots* of two lane blacktop. Figured you guys might like a view of my "Easter(n) bonnet".

Nice. Here in Northern New England, we still have 5 foot snowbanks along the road blocking any access to my TRs. Not to mention 2-3 foot coating of snow over the ground and my trailer.

Our blacktop is full of deep potholes that would swallow most lbcs.

Please send your New England to Maine where it's warmer than it was, but still too cold to even think about pulling the 3A out of hibernation and pretty cold.
