After 6 days felt good enough to restock at Sam's Club, had a little break in the weather and the roads were clearing off. Might not look appealing to you Southern folks (doesn't for me, either), but for Minnesota, not a bad winter day, temp was almost 30F. Felt good to get a little exercise.
Don't know if the rest of you have seen that crash from this angle, I hadn't, videos I saw looked like the P63 hit at the rear of the wings, but this shows it tore the fuselage to pieces from the rear of the cockpit. Most of those guys in the B17 must have been instantly killed, debris might even have killed the pilots. Relative speed difference must have been higher than the video looked, too, lot of energy in that photo. Sad.
Day 1 of the bike fest found it easy to walk right in and get a table at the Orange County Cycles restaurant, enjoy some good food and then check out the rest of the event trouble free. Much better than last year when it was 10 million people to maneuver through on Saturday afternoon. With no one in the way we saw all the vendors had to offer in the time it took Chuck to smoke one cigar.

Riding Season has ended for me, Sunday will be mid 40's/sunny -last ride & fill up the tank
Next weekend is forecast for snow, at least it is after Thanksgiving
That crash close up, wow, that is bad
I hope there was no-one in the nose cone, better to be over in an instant
Installed my Hot tub in 2019, ordered in Feb at 1/2 price Winter sale
Just finished the patio & small deck behind it this past Summer, need to add one stair on the right
Still need to add dirt for transition to lawn & more sand between the cracks
Evening, guys from snowy Colorado!
Snowed most of the day with not much to show for it. It was heavy for a while this morning, then just flurries and cold til about 1/2 hour ago. Pretty heavy right now.
