Beautiful sunny day here in Central Oregon. Went for a nice ride and just got back. Going on another ride with the wife in awhile.

Just have to rub it in some. When it's snowing here and you all are riding down south you can give some pay back!

I drove back through Fay on Wednesday night from Augusta, GA to Orlando, FL - wasn't too bad of a drive in the car, but on the bike it would really have sucked.

Yeah, I'm waiting for her to dump on us. I just had wrist surgery on Wednesday, so I can't ride for 7 more days (yes I am counting) so it is kind of perfect timing for me. Still all things being equal, I would just assume to see this thing drift off into the Gulf...

Oh, I live in FL, my pee pee hurts.

I live north of Minnneapolis. I am now figuring out when I am going to put my bike away for winter. Last year it was the 1st week in Nov. Call me then and see if you wish you lived somewhere else.

In other words, the most you have to worry about is getting 2 weeks notice of a tropical storm headed your way.

Many people in snow country would tell you to "Suck it" and point towards their belt buckle, as Florida is not too bad in our book-

Because I am not an A-hole, I will wish that all people and towns come out fine after this storm.

I grew up on lake michigan, I'll take the snow storms any day after living through blizzards in the 70's, 80's and hurricanes in the 90's.

You're the one that is crazy enough to live in snow country...move on down and you can play all year. We've got more room down here...
