Here's a few pictures, just to prove it happened!

- October 19, 2014, 11:32:13 AMTroll at least you can just scoot in and out of the garage far easier then I can from the living room. Coolant is still good, hope for a warm day so I can at least give it a oil change and a good washing before I move it inside. Next seven days the highs are in the low fifties and drop to the 30's.........need to purchase a set of elephant ears over the winter but even those do not really help with these temps, this chart might be of help....

- October 19, 2014, 09:29:40 AMCar is ready...changed the oil to 5-30...soon it's going to be my main mode of transportation. Bikes will be ready soon, Changed the coolant in the Drifter this Spring, so I have at least another year. 2 battery tenders ready to go...now all I need to do is pick a date before the snow and sub zero cold arrive. Supposed to be in the low 60s all week, so not just yet...but soon.

winterizing is a must, at 0600 when I go to work and the roads are covered with a film of frost, and you can feel the bike sliding under it is not a fun feeling, and the frost does not come out till about 0830 so not a good thing to ride to work, and forecast for this morning is snow flurries.........yipeeeeeeeeee

- October 18, 2014, 20:57:32 PMHey KA, good looking family! My only child just turned 18 today. I'd give anything to have another 5 to 10 years of her growing up to look forward to. It seems like yesterday she was only 4 or 5 and needed my wife and I for everything.
I was planning a fishing trip to Arkansas through Veterans Day, but may jump on the bike and ride up to the Arkansas Pig Trail and their Baby Dragon Tail instead.
What is this "Wintering" thing you Yanks are talking of? Lol.

Now why is your face not paint Anaheim colours? Next time I see a Anaheim game being televised in my area I'll watch it to see if I see KA jr. in the crowd......lol.......think it would be Leafs or Sens, perhaps the Habs and we will see it here. Will keep an eye out. If you know that the Ducks are playing a CDN team and you go pm me.....ok.......coolest game on earth.......

- October 18, 2014, 12:03:01 PMHere it is called Remembrance Day, in town all the local schools are bussed over to the local arena, the local Military units, regular and reserve forces, gather with the different Vet groups, and Legion groups and march to the arena, the have a few prayers, a wreath laying and then people go to the Legion for a small lunch and some hang about and talk to the old veterans and recall their old friends and pals.
K-a there are good points of living alone, having really nice hardwood floors, I do take proper precaution's, I put underlay on the floor first, then a sheet of 3/4" plywood, and then the bike is parked on that. Just like to get it moved before the first major snow fall, because I have seen people wait and procrastinate, and then wham they have to leave their bike in the shed or garage and not have time to do an oil change or do a proper winterizing because of the snow and fallen temps.

- October 18, 2014, 11:13:54 AMQuote from: CDNRatMan on October 17, 2014, 23:29:10 PMlet me quantify my earlier post, if I had a garage I would wait, but getting the bike into the house takes about an hour from start to finish, and I would rather do it before the snow flies. Normal we get snow the last part of Oct, and some times it stays other times it does not, but 15 Nov is snow time. I have my winter list of projects and mods ready to start.
that's awesome i wish i could bring ethel in the house but where my wife is concerned that like poking the sleeping bear lol. She would rip me to pieces
