Charles, the Starting Line guys would prefer 72*F ... how about that ?
 

[Seldom Seen Slim]

It's 72F here on the south shore of Lake Superior.  Can you match that?

Charles, if that's your house -- I offer my condolences.  What a lot of yard work to keep it in nice condition.  I can see hours of riding the lawnmower and pruning the shrubs.

Other than that -- nice house and yard!

[Cajun Kid]

SSS,  yes that's the house,, the fun stuff is in the shops behind and beside it.

I can not believe the grass is so thick and green this soon... It has been mowed twice already in last 2 weeks.

Wife is getting ready to put out pine needles and do some shrub and flower touch ups.

Her Rose Bushes are in the back...

I don't have much land.... just a fraction under 2 acres... (81,000 sq. ft.)

Hmm let's see how much grass..

Concrete Drives and Parking..  12,000 sq ft
Foot print of house                 3,000 sq ft
Shop 1 foot print                    1,200 sq ft
Shop 2 foot print                    2,000 sq ft
Wifes Storage Buiding                300 sq ft
Wooded and Flower areas        4,000 sq ft
Total                                  22,500  sq ft

81,000 - 22,500 = 58,500 Sq ft of grass to mow and trim around.

So approx 1.4 acres of grass..

Dang,,, I hate I figured all that...Hmm I need more shop space and parking so there is less grass to take care of.

Looks like your wife needs a little more room!!

Fred,

She says that sometimes too,,..  she has two storage / craft rooms in the house a 4 x 16 and a 12 x 18, plus finished attic storage area of 24x24... plus above my #1 shop we have 2nd floor walk in storage room 12x40

I think that is plenty....??

[t russell]

but what does she think??

Cajun, if you can order the area that precisely, she doesn't have enough.

If it's too much to calculate, she's only slightly short on her area.

She's not interested in any driveway property either.

It all has to be undercover, heated, AC and no stairs to climb.

Your new shop seems to match all of those conditions. What'doya think?

You need a 'busa-powered riding lawnmower: get it done in 15 minutes or less.

Mike,,, that would give me a good excuse to buy a Busa motor,, hmm  maybe a Turbo too !!

Freud,

I am sure she has  "eyed" my new shop with other visions of grandeur// she questioned the reasons for heat and then central air !!!

But that shop is off limits for any use other than HotRod and Race Car use  LOL  
(ok, ok, ok,,, yes Bikes can be worked on in there too !!!....don't want to alienate my bike friends)

That's my story and I am sticking to it...

That's right Charles. Didn't think the winter was ever going to end around here. Along with all this great weather our dreaded yellow dust season has arrived. Hosed the truck off this morning and just a few hours later it was back twofold. A duster may be a good addition to your support equipment this meet. Maybe a dust mask as well.

Dave, neat logo.

Racer X's yellow bike is a better idea than he may have thought.
