First day out ATV'ing

Pushed the ATV out into the sun for a couple of hours this morning to  warm it up turned the key and away it went.  This has been the way I have started this machine in the spring since 2001, never take the battery out in the winter at all.  After a quick check over and some air and check the tires I'm ready to go.  Went over to Paul's and headed for the mine road east of town (it had been ploughed out during the winter for the wood cutting).  Went right up past the mine and towards Flatstone Lake where they have the road blocked with rocky berms to close the road.  We both left with a jacket on but by the time we got to the berms we were in shirtsleeves.  Temps were around 24°C at least.  Road was wet and muddy in some spots but will soon dry out. The picture today is of Bab's Lake where we were ice fishing only a couple of weeks back.  If the weather stays the same the ice will be out soon.  

I bought some worms for fishing in front of the house for whitefish but now I can't get on the ice as there is too much open water to get to the ice.
