Morning Woodfellows,
Where's Tracy today ?

Wanted to tell him about my bike ride into shuffle this morn. He loves them back-road county highways. Anyways....... Managed to hit 105 and hold here there for a few miles. Still had some fugly-bike throttle to go.
Nothing like that slow-paced relaxing morning ride into shuffle land.

It's nice when you don't have to fight traffic on the way to the shuffle and can open it up, huh?

Mark II,
I have 3 distinct sections of road on my morning commute.......
(1) 11 mile of curvy, scenic Minnesota River road.
(2) 13 mile of straight, open rural county highway
(3) 31 mile of typical 2 lane state highway.

I really like the summer scooter commute because it's unique.
In the winter everything sucks rocks.......

That sounds like an awesome 55 mile run! I have 1 mile of county road with 2 stop signs, 4 miles of frontage road and 12 miles of state highway with stoplights and a lot of traffic at all times of the day.

Russ, the HOA Pres went door-to-door and got a lot of negative feedback about the clubhouse idea. Tonights meeting is to be a quorum on what to do with the open space we, the HOA, own. Still hoping for a grass field for the kids to enjoy.
A field of grass could have some possibilities I'd think.
Get the good seeds though.

Not so sure about letting the kids enjoy it though.


Beautiful day here, maybe a bit of Kubbing.

I'm giving on on converting the file and will wait for some rainy, hot, snowy, sleeting day and type the darn thing out.

The Shop's stereo Ipod connection took a dump, but found out a flash drive works just fine in it, wish I knew that before I bought the Ipod, Flash drive $12, Ipod much, much more.

Got the urge to head to Wisc for BBQ today, now just to convince the wife BBQ is better than yard work, wish me luck.

Have a great day!

Al

Supposed to be dangerously hot today! Glad I'll be in a car with AC!

Nice to have options . For me it's either all freeway or 3/4 of Pacific coast highway.
