I love that color. In 96 HD made a few in what was called root beer. It was a little darker than yours, but I like that brown. You need to go to Palatka and bring along Stella.

Not this time, MJ, but will catch up on another ride. Never know, might even head your way when it cools down.

I moved to Safety Harbor 38 years ago! It has changed....

I just spray the love bugs down with peroxide then wipe them off. WD40 and Vaseline sounds like a bigger mess than the bugs. Some use Pam which is worse than the bugs. lol...
