February

The month of February has officially been set in motion. I have a love hate relationship with February. I love February because it is officially the gateway to spring, it is right around the corner, it is short sweet and to the point. It has Mardi Gras and snow, in my head at least it is the last month of winter. It means racing is right around the corner and most importantly it is short.
I hate February, it is cold and snowy and it is always always a grind. Especially in the car business nothing ever gets sold in this short month. No matter what business you are in February is and always be a grind, as a man it means having to spend more money after Christmas. Did I mention it is a grind. Spring is right there especially here in the Rockies, when we have days that are damn near 60 but we all know snow will be here but we don't know when. We want to put away all the winter clothes on these days but we can't. Spring is right there teasing us and we pin all our hopes to a varmint. Don't want go all Yosemite Sam here but a varmint predicting our winter suffering, just adds insult to injury.
We have all been staring at our toys in the garage calling to us wanting to be taken out and throttled, but yet we can't there is still some much crap on the road we don't want to gamble with grime and rock chips. The poor things are screaming in the garage I need out, maybe that is just me screaming.
I can't be the only one that feels this way about the month.
