    Default 60 degrees and all ain't well

    So I have this aberrant 61 degree weekend and what am I doing??? Changed the fuel filter on the bike and replaced the mailbox that the county snow plows took out in December

    Waiting on my check to clear with Ron so I can get the plugs, wires and air filter replaced. Will get a fresh can of DOT 4 brake fluid and bleed the brakes and clutch while awaiting the rest of the PM parts to arrive. Oh well I should be ready for the next thaw in store for Michigan!!! PMS strikes freely; at least the battery is happy on the maintainer!!!!
    All the great movements in the world began with a cup of coffee!

    I thought about it, but there's so damn many potholes around here, it wasn't worth it.... We haven't had much of a winter here, but the roads sure have gone to hell!!!

    We got to 48 here today...
    But we haven't had enough rain to clean the salt and sand off the roads yet...
    So it was a day to get some lunch out to Town, come home to wash the car, and watch a couple of movies together.

    Was thinking on a mid winter " full operating temperature " rip but realized there was a pretty noticeable swath of white down most roads starting on our street
