    Had a friend come over this evening on her Harley and needed some help installing chrome and heat shields by the seat. The 65 F sure made it nice to work in.

    To work where you guys live in the hot south you must get up at 3 AM but its probably still warm then to. :(

    Chuck, we just got back from the Star Light Ride 11PM. Ride started out at 5 PM and headed up into the hills. We took two of the windiest roads in this area there is. Many corners were so sharp it was first gear and using the friction zone. Great time and it cooled down from 85 to 62, bit cool coming home. Another ride tomorrow up the Wassugal River, only supposed to get to 78 tomorrow. :(

    We aren't having real hot temps yet, but it also rains violently just about every day. It isn't even a matter of IF it will rain but if the rain will include hail and tornadoes. It's getting a little old, but I think the farmers are happy.

    Stood out in a parking lot south of Denver all weekend. It was hot, but not unbearably so. Got 7 more people riding. Started with 11. One dropped the bike within the first 5 seconds of throwing her leg over it. She didn't last long. Then another called in this morning with a migraine. By the time we were testing, a couple of them still couldn't start off in first gear without stalling it a couple of time first. :banghead: I hate it when students have the disappointment of not passing, but some people really don't need to be out there. Came home and slept for 2 hours.

    It's 71 right now at 9:10 PM and it made it up to 81 today. However, tomorrow will be 90. Time to head for the mountains or the beach. :eek:
