Hey, at least the highways don't get muddy. It's the start of mud season here in
the Blue Ridge. Winter ain't no fun! :(

Been raining in chi-town for the past week off and on.
Said to be "nice" this weekend - but 25-35mph winds !
Gotta love this time of year  ::)

Don't feel bad. I had 3 surgeries on October 4. Nothing of any serious health consequence, just enough to make me feel miserable for a while. Then the doctors tell me to take it very easy until further notice so that you don't damage the "repairs".
So I sit home since then looking at some very nice weather for the next 2-1/2 weeks!!
Now it's getting cold and the rain and wind are coming.
They should let me do whatever I want to in another 2 or 3 weeks. Just in time to winterize the bikes I guess.

I blew it.  Had the opportunity to go riding, but I had Waaaaaaaaaay too many things to do outside around the house before the white #$%* comes.  Maybe on Monday I'll get out for a while.

Today was awsome.

Funny, when I first saw this thread I thought it said "Ranting for 3 days", same difference I guess.  ;D

Would still love to copy Steve's rear sets.  HINT HINT  ;) I will be down in Chi in Feb for the big show. No we are not showing, but we will have many people being our billboards so to speak. Free shirts, you wear them at the show for the duration of the show.  ;D
