As most of you know, my area in Wisconsin seems to be going through a constant barrage of bad weather. We've had endless days of wind, thunderstorms, driving rain and at least one twister that thankfully never touched the ground, but hung over the top of my little burg for several mintues. I'm not good at dealing with this.

Granted, I'm not a winter sports type of guy, but snow and sleet don't give me that helpless caged feeling. I'm getting surly, and it shows.

What do you guys do? There must be some other member here from the south-central area of Wisconsin. More to the point, I'll bet there are hunters, wilderness campers, hikers, kayakers and other bikers who are also sidelined.

I've waxed my bikes within an inch of their lives, every edge in my house can do surgery, I yak on the telephone, and I'm spending wa-a-a-a-y too much time on the computer. To the good, I've researched knives and done some serious reading.

What do you guys do besides drink an expensive latte' and bitch? I'm becoming the type of guy I cannot stand!

I thought you guys might like to see how my afternoon is shaping up. Click on the greener map to the left, and find a box marked "loop."

It's just beginning to rain. Everything is soaked already.

Should I have purchased a boat instead of a Sportster?

Edit: I heard the local forecast, and we should have clearing on Wednesday--for one day. Then storms return. If I can get 50 miles to the tank before looking for gas, how long do you think it would take to get the Sportster to Florida?
