	If this isn't spring weather, I don't know what is.

	OK, I know that there is a checklist for dewinterization somewhere her on the forum but I'll be danged if I can find it. Does someone remember the link? Or have one handy? This is our first spring and I know that it's not that difficult but I follow instructions better than freelancing.

	Most 'dewinterizing' lists do not include giving the axles a shot of clean high-pressure grease. I do not remove and re-grease the axle bearings every fall, if I have not put on a lot of mileage. But before the first spring trip, I pop off the axle covers, wipe out any old grease out of the cups, and inject enough new grease so that some of the clean grease oozes out of the exit ports. I also do this after each long trip.
