    Hey now! Been off a few days, Never seem to get time on the CPU,always so much to do. Not riding though. It was decent on Friday but had a few major things things to tidy up in between the raib before winter and which is not far off. Saturday same thing. Rain today so took grandboy to chuckie cheese and toys r us..what a long day.

    Its basically damp,rainy and chilly. Got down to 28 degrees thursday nite/frinday morning. Riding season is about over 11-1-12. Maybe a few indian summer days in November but thats it.:confused:

    Hope this finds everyone doping well.

    I'd like to believe me.

    Because of all the damp and rainy weather I've had about 3-4 large trees (almost 2 1/2 foor in diameter)dry rot out and fall over when a few windy days came by. I've put that off too long already.:banghead: I got it done.

    Hoping to have 1 more day ride before seasons over and will call in sick to do it if I have too.

    gonna rain today,this afternoon anyway.

    Before it rained I gotmy dog kennel crates washed out,washed/waxed the bike(had ran it in the rain a couple 2-3 times) and vacummed out the truck and did the widows.

    Now I'm gonna fry up some keilbasa and scrambled eggs.

    I've been on the road for 3 solid days of riding thru all kinds of weather. It was 70 f. and clear when I left Alaska, turned to cold rain (38f) in Montana, then snow (32f) coming over mtn. passes in CO. Rode 2,650 miles and bike purred like a kitten the whole time. It really looks trashed right now, but I'll give her some tlc tomorrow.

    Raining and snowing were not conducive for pictures. But here's my baby when I got home.

    Definately a redeeming quality. I was pleasantly surprised. As long as he had granmpies clippers he was busy as a beaver.:)
