Default Breaking rules

I always tell myself to avoid riding when the oil pr is higher that the air temp. By 9 A.M. yesterday, I had broken it again.

Not sure where he was in AZ, but the area south of Tucson got snow, and was in the 20's.

I'm up near Prescott AZ and it was 15 when I woke up and is up to 20 now. It can get cold here for a couple months. Flagstaff has been in the single digits for a few days now and getting a lot of snow.
