So whatcha folks do during the winter to keep from going crazy?

I work outside for half my day at work, so I'm happy just staying warm on my weekends  and watching Terry work on my bikes 

Attempting to powder coat with the hot pro kit from eastwood.

Translucent gold  Rims
Black Triples

and stuff. lol

• Riding with heated gear  [moto]
• projects on the 749
• attend holiday parties 
• happy hour with colleagues after work 

I actually have my bike in the city right now. I was soooo tempted to take it out this afternoon but I have too much work on (still working now... kind of). The roads upstate are still really clean, as long as there isn't a heavy dump (hee hee) and the temp gets high enough, it's still good for riding.

Snowboarding

Repairing bent rims on the monster
Megan street coilover suspension kit for the car and suspension crossbars
Computer tune up
Video games
Try to get my car stuck in the snow (annual tradition)
Possible winter camping/ hiking trip

Powder coating the SSS and tons of other parts
buying a better riding jacket
skiing lots of skiing, killington, hopefully a mt. st. anne trip too
installing radar, misc other electronics, stereo, trim tabs and fixing the t-top on a boat
finishing my captain's license process with the USCG (major PITA)
getting wisdom teeth pulled....

Sounds like everyone has a plan.

I was thinking of doing this 10 years or so ago. I worked on a boat for two years. My buddy did it. Said it was THE hardest thing he ever did. Good luck

I always wanted to try that. Not looking good for this winter though

My brother finished the course many years ago when the USCG was at Governor's Island (now it's no longer).  He learned all the "ropes" and helped him to be a better sea person.
btw, where is the USCG stationed now ?

I know there is one in Montauk. Not sure of any others.

We have an Aux unit here in the Hudson.
