...before work!



This was taken right before heading to work yesterday morning. It was about quarter to seven and around 36°F. Let me just say, "Brrrrrr!!!"

( The payoff was had in the ride home after work. It was awesome! ...And warm! )

The day started out well enough. Woke up pretty early and I was too excited about getting on with it to fall back asleep. April and I decided to get up and go after some breakfast.
