49 Do you happen to know the name brand of those gutter guards? or have a pic? Since you say they work good, thought I'd ask. I have some real expensive gutter guards on this house (PO put then on) - they are very fine screen - but heavy rain runs over them. I'm trying to find something to replace them - having trouble finding something that works.
I'll drag out the extension ladder and get you some pics, and if possible the name of them.

- November 11, 2014, 05:29:57 AMQuote from: Drift1 on November 10, 2014, 20:32:56 PMHave a great, safe ride for Veteran's Day...that goes to anyone else who is riding today, too!Mrs Bride White Plains is a nice little airport for sure . I work in that area so know it very well . Tappen zee bridge has a ton of construction going on at the moment with a new one being built . The water is filled with floating cranes and looks nice first thing in the morning , just like a poster or picture .
Well it's going to reach 60* tomorrow so It will be a great day for a planned fun filled riding Veteran's Day .
This last visit I took to NJ, I flew into Atlantic City, so I didn't see the construction on the TZ bridge. It is amazing work to witness, though, I'll check it out on line and maybe be able to see it on my next trip.

Georgia doesn't believe in having shoulders on roads lol, so there wasn't a safe place to pull over anyway. Maybe if we get up to the mountains in the next week or so, I'll be able to obligeAnd, Mz. 2beers (Bride), lady, where are the pics of YOUR beautiful fall foliage ride? Our leaves were gone a couple weeks ago!!

- November 10, 2014, 20:08:09 PMI might just spring a bike from it's slumber if the weather is as nice as it is supposed to be tomorrow. That is, if I get the gutters cleaned out, snow-tires on the cage and the snow-blower prepped.
All too soon this will be the picture of my driveway.

- November 10, 2014, 19:45:02 PMIt was pretty cool over the weekend, and I had too many chores to do to ride.
But today got up to low 60's so rode the 800 to work after lunch. It was nice this afternoon, but pretty chilly this evening at 6 after dark. Maybe it will be nice enough tomorrow too.

Did a nice 200 mile ride yesterday and actually stopped up at Perkin's Point . This overlooks Bear Mtn Bridge and was a beautiful scenery this time off year .
Quote from: 49Reo on November 10, 2014, 14:30:58 PMThe house we are in had covers for the gutters; they are perforated, clip on to the gutters, and work great. We get no leaves in our gutters. Might be something to use..... more Drifter time with no gutters to clean....

I needed to catch up on riding time!Glad to hear you were able to toss the list to the side yesterday , Bride . That's funny and I'm sure you told 2beers all about the beautiful foliage ... LOL ...
Bear Mtn Bridge
Bear Mtn Bridge is somewhere we used to ride or drive to back in our younger years...we're originally from North Jersey and that was a Sunday trip destination. I was visiting Mom a couple of weeks ago and took her up around Greenwood Lake for the first time in about 20 years...she enjoyed it.

Blue is his 800, Princess is my 800...and my Honda Shadow came along to help me get riding again after 25 years off 2 wheels. Problem is there's an imbalance in the garage, lol...I have been informed that I can't say 'no' if he finds a second bike he'd like to add to the stable!Yeah it got cold here last night all the way down to 64*f i almost had to wear a jacket on my way into work this morning :-D. Good for you being able to grab a bike and go. My wife would be harshly scolded if she took my bike out while i was stuck at work lol doesn't keep her from doing it though :-P. I am excited for my day off and riding with the veterans tomorrow should be a blast
Be safe and enjoy that Veterans Day ride!

- November 10, 2014, 13:50:00 PMToday is probably the last nice day for the foreseeable future. High today is 72. High for tomorrow is 38° F with it getting down to 23° F tonight. Quite the temperature swing for 24 hours. Then this weekend there is a chance for "wintery mix" aka sleet and freezing rain. We tend to get ice instead of snow in kansas. What all that means is that today I am going to ride for a couple of hours before the front moves through.
