Evenin Woods!

Al, it is the engine light intermittently coming on while riding, and sometimes right when I start it and it is idling. NO change in how the engine is running when it happens, though

Ok, reason I ask is that I had a screwy warning light problem on my Heritage. Not sure it was the engine light , though. I had a light bulb burned out, changed it , light warning went out.

I miss my buddy too. Hope he hasn't gotten in two deep! Mick, I'm going to risk ridicule from you and tell you it was 56 this morning with a high of 78. Been a beautiful day.

No ridicule from me, Russ. Those temps sound wonderful. Heat index today was 106.

Well, I will ridicule you from time to time but not over weather.

I talked to Kristi and her weather station put the heat index at home at 110°. I don't miss that stuff. She told me the other day she would "consider" moving up here.
