I heartily endorse the SMEG toaster Greg.

That said, Cheryl bought it and I had no idea it was 200 bucks.

It’s a toaster. Not even an air fryer. 200 bux?

Audrey said she put 500 miles on her Tesla the first week. Might want a set of new tires for her birthday.

66 degrees right now, coolest day in a long time, feels nice. Air conditioning bill will be much lower this month, forecast is upper 70's rest of the month. Since this is MN, good chance that will change drastically by next weekend. Somewhere between frost and 100+...

Don't know what route Rick is taking, but I'd try to avoid the Minneapolis area on a weekend. I haven't seen near as many bikes out this year as previous years, and I'm not getting my money's worth out of mine, either. Looks like the weather is getting cool enough to put the wimpshield back on, would make some longer rides more comfortable, would like to at least do a river run down the Mississippi to La Crosse, Wi, down one side and up the other, around 300 miles, about the only scenic ride with some twisties around here.

I used to run 130+ on the 35 from Hood to Dallas. Texas has imported a bunch of limp wristed, panty waist, mouth breathing inbreds who can't drive since then

me thinks they’re home grown. We are outnumbered and outflanked from coast to coast

It’s a bug shield more than a comfort thing for me.
