I would settle for 60 in Chicago. We need a good rain first to wash all the salt and chems they put on the roads away.

Thanks for the compliments on my ride.

I know you. We meet about 5 years ago when you were selling a safari rack from your jeep. I have a yellow rubicon and came and looked at it.

65 and sunny today, finally took the beast out for a warm up ride, past your part of the woods, seems like the winter salt is still on the edges of the roads.
