Weather report.

[BRatigan]

Well its been freaky lately with the weather. We are at 50 degrees today and if this holds we will be riding by the weekend. Normally here in upstate NY we are freezing our ***** off and there is tons of snow. We have about 12-14 inches so far for the season, we normally get 80-90 inches per year. I think Alaska got our snow, they have twice as much this year.

It was in the mid fifties today, I torqued down the stuff I needed to, changed the oil, and went for a ride. I'm going to try to ride to work tomorrow.

Here's Minneapolis for the next week. Now 40 might not sound that warm to some people but it should be about -10.

They're a great band. Love me some Jaco.

R.I.P. John Francis Pastorius III aka Jaco (December 1, 1951 - September 21, 1987)

"Heavy Weather" may be their masterpiece - recently reissued in hi-rez.

Thank god someone got the reference. [up] to you for being a cultured dude.

I grew up listening to Heavy Weather. My pops is a big Weather Report/Shorter/Zawinul/Pastorius fan.

I get in listening modes where all I do is listen to Weather Report/associated solo albums and the Mahavishnu Orchestra on repeat. I stil think Pastorius' version of "Donna Lee" off of his solo album is one of the greatest jazz tracks of all time.
