Oh, it got here today, along with a dusting of snow.

We got it too. 15F here today.

The only silver lining I can see is the improvement in heat cost over last year. I've been keeping records of oil consumption vs outside temp since we moved in in '08, and I'm saving about $3 day, and the house temp is 72, rather than the 68 I had it set for when we were burning oil. I'll pass that cold air you sent me, Ratman, on to the other guys, when I'm done with it.

I feel realy bad that I can have some others can not, so I am going to be really nice and spread the wealth. I am going to pack up some of this cold and send it to my buddies .....PC and 45 it is coming for both of you.....because I am such a nice person......

Yeah, when it gets that cold, the F and C scales merge...in an attempt yo keep each other warm. What I really hate about that is the ice that forms on your beard...'cause it melts when you come in the house. The coldest I remember was one year when I lived up near Eau Claire...the little red line in the outdoor thermometer disappeared!

Mr. Troll Sir, FYI we are into our cold snap now and tomorrow the red stuff is dropping to -40* and it will be there for a few days now...and at the it is the same in both F and C , and for those that don't know it means FRIGGIN COLD, the hairs in your nose freeze and you have a hard time breathing.......but so much fun on a sled running acroos the lake...

Troll · January 21, 2013, 09:36:08 AM

It's ZERO degrees F outside right now. That's -18 C for Ratman...supposed to go to -24 C over night...global warming??? where?

PC hope you have good weather for more riding, because you deserve it being the nice guy you are.
45 of course you will be a lean mean fighting machine soon and glad you could use your bike as a recovery tool and enjoy it with your spouse.
D1 never be grudge what others have because they just do not understand. Be thankful that they are out riding.......
because like myself and adeyar you too have time to work, reflect on your work and how nice your bike will be once you get out and ride, and enjoy and appriciate what took so long to get to, think of your favorite food.....imagine eating everyday, and loses it place as your favorite, so it is the same with riding, once we get out each and every ride just means that much more to us......think positive......

Supposed to get pretty cold again here. It's really to bad. That's the bad thing about buying a bike in late fall. You get to stare at it more than ride it. But that's okay, cause damn it looks good.

It was in the 60's today, took the wife for a ride.

Our first ride together nice the surgeries..

Together we have lost bout 95 lbs.

The bike is happier, takes the rough roads like a champ.

Did about 70 miles today, stopped and saw some friends.

After the ride I checked the DFI fuse, it is sill pristine, and the bike is the same reliable old friend it once was...

The world is good...

45 Bravo...

pcarrell · January 20, 2013, 16:55:31 PM

If it makes ya feel better, the temps are dropping and we might get a dusting of snow tonight.

Drift1 · January 20, 2013, 16:53:02 PM

AHHHHH,there you go again,PC.It's 45 mile gusts here and freezing cold.Went to help my brother out with his bike for a bit and we had to run the salamander in the garage to stay some what warm

pcarrell · January 20, 2013, 14:52:33 PM

Shoot, I ain't grumpy! I've been riding!

CDNRatMan · January 20, 2013, 14:36:53 PM

low of -16*F and 10" of snow ...ypu that is golbal warming here too.....lol ride over to Chilli and see how he is doing for me, worried about him in his senior age and want to make sure he is ok.....would ask you to ride over and check on PC but he is cranky in his old age. I need to remember how to stay nice as I age so when I am as old as them I am not grumpy like them....

adeyar · January 20, 2013, 14:13:08 PM

You just can't scare me into believing 40 degrees in January is not a good thing. Rode 50 miles yesterday... Think I'm going to run the car in the driveway for a hour just to help along with "the warming"...
