I would love to talk about college basketball and how the brackets are going to shake out and then subsequently be dismantled by Cinderella State University, the fighting Glass Slippers, but I will leave that to the experts. What I am going to talk about is the scramble to find parts to fix our warm weather equipment in order to be ready for when the warmer weather actually hits. Cabin fever has reached full pandemic in the winter of 2010 and the overwhelming desire to see some good weather and get out and enjoy it is clearly evident from the voices and faces of most of the people we talk to. Now everyone is working to make sure that their toys and equipment are ready for the good times ahead.
As most of us are people who work 50 hours a week or more, the weekends are more and more cherished. The last thing anyone wants to do is waste that time fixing equipment, keeping you from your favorite past time. Use what few weekends you have left before the weather really kicks in to get all of your favorite tools of the trade back up to competition ready.Here's an idea...go online and save time AND money by ordering quick and easy!
Depending on where in the country, or in the world for that matter, you are located, the weather will get better sooner than you think. For some folks you have a few months, but for others, like us in Florida, the mercury is beginning to rise in our thermometers and getting out and enjoying our outdoor pursuits is at the top of our priority lists.
So get ready and do not wait for better temperatures. Instead, prepare now and be ready for the nicer weather. The weekend warriors only get 104 Saturdays and Sundays per year and not all of those days are chamber of commerce brochure days. If you get 25% of those days as good weather days that only means 26 days to "play" with. You know something always comes up on many of those that prevent you from spending your time doing your favorite activity.
Use your time now to get ready and hopefully your "honey-do" list does not grow too out-of-hand to take more precious days away. In the meantime, stay safe and be warm.
