Enjoy the day everyone!

Good morning all. Some guy on a Harley wadded up this morning on the freeway. Traffic stopped suddenly and he didn't. (or couldn't) lol. Amazingly he was not hurt. Sure doesn't take much to bend the forks up under the gas tank on a Harley, and the front rim was not even bent! His rake was suddenly decreased tho..

Pfft. At 9am this morning, it was a whoppin' 33° here. And for a few minutes, it was actually SNOWING. Only a few flakes, but still ... it's only October 21st!

Happy Monday everyone!

Up 'till stupid o'clock in the morning and then back up a few short hours later with Ma & Pa stood by the front door... where to today?!?

So Saturday we went up the Falkirk Wheel which is a big canal boat lift pretty impressive really. Falkirk Wheel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Had a great day.

Weather stayed fine the whole weekend.. 54*F and clear this morning ..not a breath of wind..BLISS!

Oh and the kitchen rebuild is almost finished, just waiting on the joiner to come and finish the footery bits - plinths, pelmets etc.

busa-boy33 · 10-22-2007, 06:11 AM

Morning all you crazy wakey motorcycle people..lol.. Well we are in for a nasty day of thunderstorms and what looks like a hurricane hanging off the coast line down here. This thunderstorm is HUGE!! Maybe we can run a pipe line up to Georgia and give those poor people some water. Seems odd some states are drowning while others are drying up. Dang Global Warming..lol

KD57 · 10-22-2007, 06:52 AM

Yeah it is pretty good, the entire canal infrastructure throughout the UK is gradually being re-instated, looks like we will be reverting to Victorian transport systems again - and why not!?!? I can now cyle from my house to Glasgow city centre and then on to Edinburgh (via the Falkirk wheel) using canal towpaths. In a couple of years I should be able to cycle from London to Glasgow via towpaths... Now THAT is cool.

The best of it is, some of the supermarket chains have started shipping products to the inner city branches using the canals therefore taking trucks off the roads. Good move, I think.

bat4255 · 10-22-2007, 08:35 AM

Good day for coffee, windy, 50, cloudy, 60% chance of rain. Good weather for a Monday.

Perfect weather yesterday, but it rained 2" of leaves with the wind. 4" total so far, 6" to go.

Looks like autumn has arrived. I think I know what I'll be doing for the next few weeks.

Thank God for Leaf Blowers

jgreth · 10-22-2007, 08:45 AM

Good morning!

It was in the mid 60s on the ride to work this morning. Looks like 80% chance of rain today again. Weather this weekend was absolutely perfect.... and I didn't get a chance to go ride
