- May 24, 2014, 18:20:44 PMThe weather broke in my favor. We didn't have a Spring, as usual. It went from 30's over night to 60's, and then from 50's during the day to 80's in like a week. I'm happy, now it's finally warm enough to ride without several layers and a sweatshirt under the jacket! Went out for my annual visit my parent's graves ride, today. I have some pictures that explain why you should NEVER leave home without a camera....I found, just sitting in a guy's driveway, a '56 Pontiac Star Chief in original condition, and a pretty nice (for what it is) AMC Pacer at a used car lot....AND. LOOK at the trip mileage reading, and the fuel gauge needle...I got 48.6 MPG today. If you don't post a picture, then it didn't happen! I stopped for lunch at a cute little riverside park in Ojibwa, WI...That is the Chippewa river in the picture...Temps got up to about 80 today..OUTSTANDING!!!

we were having a heat wave the temps were in the mid to low 50's so of course I took advantage of this weather and did some soaking up of the sun and worked on my tan........

So, I'm guessing it was above freezing there? Hard to keep the coals lit when it get's that cold...

- May 19, 2014, 22:39:25 PMSeems like you left Kansas at just the right time. The wind gusts were clocked at 48 mph in the Wichita area today. It calmed down to only gusting a little over 30 later in the evening which isn't near as bad so I got a short ride in running some errands. I'm sure some disagree, but 40+ mph takes all the fun out of riding for me so I just don't. Those days one of the other vehicles gets driven. Them temperature was nice when I was out riding though. I think it was just over 80ยบ F when I was riding.

I came back from military training in Kansas and had the chance to go home Saturday for a little while so I dropped the 1500 off to get the www's installed . I'll pick that up once I have a chance . Being I was home , and it was high 70's i mowed the yard packed up the saddlebags and rode MA-DEUCE to Albany ( approximately 130 miles from the house ) to finish up my obligation . sure did feel great to hit the open road , but it's 98% high way riding so not as much fun as Troll had in the video .

- May 18, 2014, 18:26:12 PMOK! It's always nice when the weather guessers are wrong in your favor...Here's a link to a video I took this afternoon. The quality isn't what I'd hoped from Picasa, it's really nice in the original format...BUT..the last time I was up here, 2 weeks ago, there was snow!

- May 18, 2014, 18:20:46 PM Well woke up and the Forecasters were wrong again, for our May long weekend weather, this morning was clear and sunny, might have gotten as high as 60*F around mid day, but I did the lake ride again and this time I really went all out and went the other way......lol........did a spark plug swap yesterday after supper because I have never changed the plugs and so decided to put new ones in and everything worked out just fine.
Next ride take camera and put it in the new trunk.......
