All day yesterday, I was in meetings in our county seat, with representatives of several departments (Planning, Environmental Protection, Permitting, and Fire/Rescue) to review adjustments to the build-out of the building for one of the fire stations that make up the three in the fire department on which I serve as President (of the volunteer side of this combined department.)

The average air temperature in early February where I live (Maryland, USA) usually ranges from 27F (-3C) to 47F (8C) for a high. I do not have heated gear or like to ride when it is cold, so my Harley rests in the garage, waiting for a great day like we had on February 3 when temperatures soared to 67F (19C) by noon.
