Morning fellas.
Back in springs just in time for -what did Greg call it? "snowmageddon"?
Sounds like 4 days of highs below freezing and some nice fluffy precipitation.
Apparently it was 70 here yesterday while I was driving.

Not so limber this morning, wonder if it's got anything to do with the truck and trailer load of tree I took over to my daughter's house yesterday. Wonder if I can get the next load (or two) there before it snows. Not gonna take my trailer on salted roads, see too many around here that are heavily rusted.

I should take at least a gas station ride with the sporty before the salt comes, must be near reserve. Not good to have near empty tanks in cold weather. Two bikes have a full tank, but weren't run this year, better drain those and refill with fresh premium. Never quite ready for winter before it gets here.

It was very nice in cortez too. The trees down low still have color - real pretty. Didn't have the bike with me to take advantage. I'm gonna have to buy back my dyna and leave it there - wife will be super impressed to hear that plan.

When I had a wood stove - we would run through about 6 cords a season. It was definitely a good work out. Too lazy for that now, I replaced the wood stove with a pellet stove. When we are there we still run through about 3 pallets of pellets a season.

Good deal on the roads. I have this premonition that tomorrow's commute is going to be fun.
