          Week and a half two weeks ago we were under heat advisories. Today and tomorrow we Will be under-sigh-wind chill advisories.  :-X I actually had to turn on the furnace to take a bit of the moisture outa the air.  :-\ BUT on da udder hand couple days with the winders open and NO/NONE/NADA A/C or Heat required was quite nice.  :cooldude: Nect week back into the 70s daytime high 40s low 50s night so no heat or A/C. AND mucho betta ridin weather so there's that!  :smitten: RIDE SAFE.

5° here the other night.  A chilly 40° currently.  Lotsa firewood to stack.  Time to park the girls and face the grim reality that bastard old man winter is again knocking on the door.

Caught the bit on the "news" last night bout that 64 Degree temp drop in less than a day there in Colorado. I lived in Lamar Co. for a few years. Scorching hot summers and below zero winters. And most days next too no humidity. Bit more moderate here in the ShoMe. Winter ALWAYS rears it's head bout this calendar time generally speaking. Least ways here in North America. We will grouse and moan about winter and suffer thru PMS Again but we will survive.  :cooldude: RIDE SAFE.

started out near 60 today late afternoon down to 38 and brisk 25mph winds felt like below freezing out and low of 31 tonight but still wearing shorts - cannot give it up just yet no matter how much the wife bitches about NOT turning on the furnance yet.  Has to hit low 60s in house to turn the heat on....  Is 64 now inside will see??????????????

NOT even close to being ready for winter gotta spend 20-30 hours cleaning space out of my 2 car garage to fit 1 vehicle in it this winter for the wife somehow?????  Put snow tires on 3 of 4 vehicles as well as changing oil on 3 of 4 vehicles also before the snow flies. I might try literally squeezing 3 cycles and 2 ATVs in my enclosed trailer this year, will see???

Light snow here today around 36 deg, not nearly ready to put the bike away.

The other day I heard somebody say that they went to sleep in July and woke up in October. Pretty much sums it up for where I live. I was sweating my arse off, and then I wasn't. No in between.

That no in-between pretty durned close to what happened here. The tween was near 2 and a half inches of rain dumped on us then some one turned off the oven and turned on the freezer. Did I mention the wind along with the colder temps? RIDE SAFE.
