50F this AM, 64F this afternoon.
I got to ride to work!!!
Gonna get winter again soon, but at least I don't have to drive the Zamboni anymore. Those things get TERRIBLE gas mileage!

I've been able to ride so I have been putting off pulling the tank and rear diff and tire for maintenance. Hopefully I will get to in within the next few weekends.

+1 And, if I would have watched the weather forecast yesterday, I would have ridden to work then. Instead, I went home for lunch and rode the bike back. |

I have been looking at ride-able weather for a week now and my girl is still stuck in the garage. I have a city block long gravel drive that is almost all mud. The truck sank 6 inches while parked for a week. At least the wind is blowing so hopefully things start to dry up.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways. totally worn out, shouting, "Holy ****... What a Ride!"  |

Took the long way into work this morning. Normally it takes me 10 minutes to get here. Today was half-an-hour.
High of 75 today. Supposed to be 80 tomorrow.

Gee guys/gals. Its been so nice here with 70's and 80's all week and such.
Actually the cold really got us two weeks ago. Work closed down because there were too many water leaks. They said anyone with plumbing experience could stay and help.There were no 1 1/2" freeze plugs to be had.
Folks around here "no Habla" cold. The thrift stores couldnt keep jackets on the rack. Now everybody has returned em so thery can buy em again next year.
