It's a December miracle!
Last night the forecasters were predicting 1 to 2 feet of snow for today. They didn't know I was in town. Snow like that has been staying away from me for quite a while now.
So I get up today and last night's rain has stopped, and it's starting to dry up. By mid afternoon, the leaves are off the yard and it's over 50 degrees. So much for weather forecasting. Hey, I've got an idea!!!!
Let's hear it for keeping the bike ready to go! It was only about an hour, at about pace 7 most of the time, but BOY was it great. The agility, the power, the sound of those cylinders... Oooooh, yeah.
Boy did I need this ride.

Hidesert, you must really like Christmas, or is it a birthday party (other than THE birthday party). I know people who put decorations up the day after Thanksgiving. Nothing wrong with that.

Guys, that's NOT my house. I just saw those decorations and had to get a picture.
Again, it's not, repeat, not my house. Those are my mountains, though.

Someday I've gotta visit New Mexico, that's some staggeringly beautiful scenery there. The level of traffic look nice as well...

High of 80 and a low of 69 here tomorrow. 
Pity my TBS is off the road till next week. 
Not to worry though, the weather will be the same.
