morning

Kyle, what you are doing is technical and calculated. This is a good thing keep it up.
Me on the other hand did have studded tires during the winter. But flew by the seat of our pants. Knot to bright. The only hill climb was out in Southington if I remember right and we would strip the bike down and climb the side of the mountain. King of the mountain style. Good memories but crazy.

Thought I beat the cold/ flu thing this weekend but it came back today. I guess I'll have to take something.

My dogs are waking the dead right now as they are picking up our garbage. see you later.

Good evening everyone!

Your warm temperatures must be nice, we had a high of 27 today.

Swapped in a 180-degree thermostat in my wife's Odyssey last night and got to try it out today as we loaded the family up for a trip to the Mall of America. Coolant temps stabilized around 185, and the heater had a noticeably easier time warming the car up. Fuel economy seems up a tick as well, but it's too soon to tell for sure.

Wouldn't have expected to be able to ride a motorcycle on Christmas Eve day but aside from the roads being a little wet it was a pretty nice day to ride.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Morning

Hope that everyone had a merry Christmas.

I'm felling better, only a blocked ear. Wife is getting better quickly and that's good.

Took the dogs out this morning and it was more seasonal weather. Still not heavy coat and boots yet.

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone had a great Christmas.

One of our dogs isn't getting along with the other two, just recently she's been picking fights with our Great Dane. A few days ago my sister in New Hampshire suggested she could take her, and yesterday my mom agreed to meet me halfway. 1,400 miles in two days, I'm meeting her in Ohio this evening. Getting a rental car to avoid putting the miles on my truck, the gas savings will almost pay for it!

ON edit: Went outside and snapped this one for you John!

I do miss the snow. To bad about the dog not getting along with the other. Sounds like a road trip. Smart move with the rental.
