Yuck. Glad we don't use much of that here.

Temperature... put a few hours in yardwerk, today, topped 40 for a little while after noon, but by 3pm the temp drops fast. Had the ear flaps down on my artic style hat and fastened under me chin, at least the ears stayed warm. Hot weather saps my energy, and when my fingers get cold, that does too. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting old.

Many decades ago I put the dog in front of me, front paws on the tank, just rode naturally there, like he'd been doing it forever. He put more miles on a bike the first year than I have the past couple years. Wish I'd taken pictures.

Only place I've ever been that came close was Syracuse, NY. At least they had a reason, lots of ice and had the most rust rotted cars I've ever seen still on the road. Think that was in '81.

So Greg, As a Pro, what will you charge to rehab my paint? Always seem to get those light swirls in the Black. Needs a protective coating.
