    We got an extra bedroom anytime you want to make a trip up here.

    Glad to see you got it working, kinda neat to see the different temps around the country.

    Anything above 80 is hot, we like it between 70 and 75 makes it perfect for riding temps. On hot days like last week the temp's were in the 90's and we kept the A/C set to 72 day and night.
    I like to get up early (5:50 AM) like today when the outside temp dropped to 59. Open the windows and sit there with a cup of coffee and catch up on my E-mails. Love that cool morning breeze.
    Did a home inspection this afternoon on a 4000 square foot 3 level home. They did not have the A/C running and I liked to die. All skinny people, :rolleyes:

    Can’t get weather to recognize Colorado Springs, any suggestions? Gets all the little burbs around us though, maybe because it is a 2 name city?

    Wow, glowing windshield in the dark headed down the road. :D
    I saw them one time when in the Navy. In school at Great Lakes and met this girl and we were parked in this one area, when I raised up and looked out I saw all those lights flying around.
    Releasing them in a movie theater up here would really cause a stir, cool. :)

    I'm still a kid and I like this a lot. I would have to drive up to the mountains, collect some in a jar, come back to the desert/valley and go the the movies. Sounds like fun:D

    79 and it ain't even 7:30 yet.

    No humidity here, matter of fact its getting really cool out and I closed the front window next to me. They said on the news that a cold front moved down from Alaska bringing a ocean breeze into the inland. I hear on the news that its raining to the north of me in Seattle. They get twice the rain fall then we do. 68-72 for a high this weekend then warms back into the low 80's for next week.

    We don't get hurricanes or tornadoes here about the only deadly thing we get here is illegals from down south who commit way to much crime.

    Temps here this morning whopping 49, bit cold for this time of year.

    Be some good temps when I go out and open up the wifes bike. Wiring problem left turn signals won't work and the signal relay is OK.
