• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software.

I am feeling good about this new month and Indiana weather should be good and Hot. So let's see what happens for the next 31 days.

Currently on a much needed vacation and really enjoying the time. The views are very relaxing for the wife and me.
The temperatures are starting in the lower 90s and the humidity is terrible.
But luckily our AC is still working good.

Today we are scheduled for some morning rain showers.
Got to keep the corn and beans growing. Feed the world.

High of 88°F with sunshine.
Low at 65°F with some clouds.
Ryde if you're able and Be Safe.

Be Healthy and Enjoy.
Till Next Time my Spyder Friends. (y)
 
I'm in Northern Idaho tonight. I can now report that the Western US has been very hot. In 4 days I have only been able to do top-down for 2 mornings. Otherwise, it has been just too hot all through Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, and now Idaho. Tomorrow, I go into my original home state of Washington. For those not familiar, Washington has a big ol' mountain range called The Cascades running down the middle from North to South. The Eastern half is much dryer and arid with hot summers and cold winters. The Western half is (a lot) wetter with generally mild winters and summers that are very pleasant. Stay safe and hydrated...

Hey Jim, how about some pictures of your travel. If you want to give us a little more information, that would be awesome.

Anyway, I am still on vacation in Tennessee. Kind of my first real vacation time here. Usually we would just stay two days and then off to Indiana. This time it's a scheduled 10 day trip. Basically the temperatures are almost the same as Indiana.

Currently foggy till 8am at 70°F. This is normal for the area after a rain storm.
Yesterday's rain was excessive but definitely needed.

Today we are looking at 87°F for the high 😀.
Low at 69°F with some clouds.
No rain in the forecast for today.
Ryde Safe and Enjoy your Time.

Till Next Time. (y)
 
Just a quick note about my vacation time in Tennessee. Today we will be traveling back to Indiana. The wife and I have enjoyed the time and seeing about everything a body could do. If you can believe it, we failed to take any pictures of real value. Sorry about that problem. Thanks for your time. (y)
 
We had the first sunny day here for a while, but it was still cold here in my part of South Oz! The overnight temps last night dropped to 3° C; while despite the beautiful crystal clear blue skies we had all day today, the max temp only made it as high as 8°C... The 'feels like' temps of both were about 4° lower and this morning's frost was pretty hard, too crunchy for an early morning ride, but by about 10:00, if you could find a place in the sun that was out of the wind, it wasn't anywhere near as soggy as it has been, and it was quite nice to be able to sit out in the sun for a change. The short ride I went on this arvo was still a bit chilly about the extremities tho, but I hadn't really intended to be out for too long anyway, so that wasn't a major problem, and nothing fell off! 😏

The last few weeks have been pretty dank & wet here, just not really all that beneficial for our water storage, cos most of the soil has been without water for so long that it's become hydrophobic, and the region has had a lot of erosion problems instead of the rain working to fill the almost empty dams & reservoirs. And just to top the afternoon off, I hadta harvest most of my back-yard garden grown cauliflowers a tad early (smaller than they could've been, but it's still a good thing we have a large freezer!) and wash them all off very carefully, cos it seems that the local population of frogs discovered them in the last couple of (wet) days and found them an irresistable egg laying site - so the cauli's have been harvested, cleaned, chopped up, blanched, vac packed, and now are in the freezer (hopefully frogs eggs & tadpole free); and I've transferred all the washed off frogs eggs I could gather up into a fallow garden bed with a breathable cover over it to keep the birds & frost off. Maybe the next crop of frogs will be bigger'n better than this season's crop of cauliflower?! Not sure they'll taste anywhere near as good in a cheese sauce tho?! :unsure:

We're expecting another overnight low of 3° C, and another clear & sunny day tomorrow with a max of 15° C, and similar on Friday, but the 'cold and wet' weather is due back for the weekend and most of next week! That's still gonna be better than the 'Cold Bomb Cyclone' weather that's hitting pretty much the entire East Coast this week, and forecast to last well into next week!! There are places over that way doing it tough - bushfires last Summer, floods in Autumn, and now more bloody cold weather, howling gales, and freezing conditions for the first half of Winter! :eek:

I, too, don't have any pictures. I just don't take them for no particular reason. I guess if I had pictures I could sit at home and relive the touring experiences from past years. But instead, I tend to just go on another road trip to refresh my memory. So far 3 out of 4 motels are places I stayed at previously. So, they remembered me while I was remembering them. Makes checking in a breeze...... Jim
