June 21st how can I forget. It's the longest day of the year and the days will only get shorter now.


Sunset is slipping back...goes down at 9:33 here tonight. Whoohoo.


Oh yeah, it's the day of our wedding anniversary too. LOL
This year was lucky # 13.

I was sitting with my wife today at lunch looking to the east at the mountains and told her, I already miss the snow. Glad to hear someone else is excited about the days getting shorter. Let's pray for early snow and a long hard winter!!

Yeah, you get more light than we do in the summer...but winter is a totally different story, eh!!

I'm glad I'm not the only person that was happy to see June 21st pass!!

You had to bring that up! I love the winters up here, they help keep our population down and you almost NEVER have to deal with a crowd when riding (Arctic Man would be the obvious exception).

I always thought the manufacturers based their tank sizes on Alaska's daylight hours. Very rarely do we ever need to use our spare gas.

 

[Scott]

HAHA, yeah I bet. That's gotta be great. So you guys get to do a lot more "night riding". LOL
