It's nothing short of gorgeous outside today. Bright sunshine. Not a cloud in the sky. High 50s for temperature. It's the perfect day for a fall motorcycle ride, preferably a nice long one down a twisty road with fall foliage along the side. The days will rapidly get colder and colder, the weather decidedly less attuned to maneuvering on two wheels; the Harley will be put into storage shortly in November before the snow starts to accumulate.
Instead, I'm going to spend the day transforming the local Congregational Church into a Halloween House of (not quite so) Horrors for the Cub Scouts. All day long, on the way to and from church, I've watched all those happy bikers take their chrome steeds out for one final journey, and wished I could be among them.
Oh well. It's a worthy tradeoff...
That is all.

Jay,
+1 on worthy trade off. Is Igor going to make an appearance later today?
In other numerological news, I was paying bills this morning and wrote out check 1911. I had to stop and pay an homage to John Moses Browning (PBUH).

Good pick....Family always comes first.

Truck it down here, there's a lot of nice bike riding weather left in the year in Florida. Up till December, I think. Of course, some people ride all year 'round here.
Makes you wish you could telecommute to your job, doesn't it?
dunno if it applies (being a not so house of horrors), but if you need lots of fake blood, you'll save money on it with this recipe:
pour light corn syrup into a container (three fingers of syrup in an empty p-nut butter jar).
get big glob of creamy p-nut butter on butter knife.
mix thoroughly, test for runniness, if too thin for blood, add p-nut butter, if too thick for blood add corn syrup.
add generous amount of red food dye. mix slowly! or you're likely to splash red food dye everywhere.
may need a single drop of blue food dye to get just the right color...
sorry for being so unspecific for amounts, but it's pretty easy to figure out if you're willing to fail the first time.
That's one of the many reasons I live in TN. There is no "putting the bike away for the winter." I've ridden to work in February (although I can remember having to pull over & rest my hands on the valve cover to warm them up).
