Yup got a sunburn this past weekend going around lake Okeechobee, that only happens when the air is a bit cooler and its just awesome to ride.

Aww, Mike, take a deep breath, brother  cooldude
Roads are clear of sn... sn... everything, even salt. Bikes are out, and so was my Eldorado.
That north facing deck is now clear, and I got to post Grizwald in his Hamburgler jacket, which he loves.
No bleggghhh here, life is Good!

Mid 20's, several inches of new white on the ground, roads a mess. Home is warm, coffee is good, and lots of food in the pantry.   Should be a white Christmas this year.

Hey! Guess who just remembered his password? Finally got my side cover replaced. Now I think I got a vacuum leak somewhere. Looking for a vacuum diagram. Otherwise been riding at least weekly when weather permits.

hint on trampoline if you find it:  Put on 3 of the legs some U shaped bent near 1/2" (or 3/8") rebar about 2 feet long (at least 15-18 inches on each side) and pound it into the ground around the legs.   works well and will prevent overturning and destroying the trampoline even in 50-60 mph winds. 

winter is coming just NO snow yet which is VERY odd usually get 1-2 inches of snow by Christmas time at least once, but starting tomorrow thru next week 15 degrees or so for highs time to find my winter coat finally.    Even just now saw downtown some big dude coming out of the bar to his can am spyder at 21 degrees just before dark - NUTS!!!
