Decided to save myself the drive into Potland and just ordered it on Amazon. Same price and it arrives today. Yes...I had to pay the tax. The 11 bucks is money well spent if I get to sit my *** on the couch all day.

Do it! The only caution is it might cut way into your Harley riding like it did mine. That said, we could supplement WS with Dirt-stock and do the TAT! It happens to run through OK. I think we know someone there!

Any bike in particular you are looking at?

Warming up nicely here.

Not really, looking at some older Tigers but really just trying to increase my knowledge base to begin with. I used to ride those waaaay back in the day, a ‘78 DT-250 was one of my favs. So much has changed since then.

Looks just like here! Except it's cold, cloudy, rainy, and I don't have a pool. I could go flop around in the giant puddle by the greenspace I guess.

I was just doing that on my Gibson G-Bird. What a wonderful guitar. I was playing and singing Melissa by the Allman Brothers. I am used to the NFC being on Fox but it seems this year they are on CBS. I don't give a *****, just an observation. A small amount of some Vermont white cheddar, queen olives and Yuengling. Life is good but there is potential for the Bucs to mess that up.

Pulling for the Cowboys just as I would do for any team playing the Eagles.

Tigers are very good bikes. If you just want to dip your toe in the water, the Suzuki DR650 is a great, cheap choice. I'm on my second one. It's very capable and they can be had well south of 4 grand.

I live in a small neighborhood, 39 homes in total. No thru traffic situation but I bet I see an Amazon truck go by 10 times a day. That Bezos guy figured it out.

I find myself in the uncomfortable situation of hoping for a Bears win. It will take the Lions down a notch in the standings which helps us. Between the Lions peaking a month ago and the Viqueens tanking, we could actually win the division. I'm certainly not counting on it though.

Afternoon Woods, rain here 40°, looks like I will keep watching the Browns/ Jax game for now until I get the itch to go out to the garage!
