      20221105_102021~2.jpg I had Friday off work to take the motorcycle in for it 600 mile service.

      I then made my way south to Marietta Ohio for a overnight get away.

      Saturday, on my way home I stopped at the Big Muskey. A huge dragline shovel.

      After that I jumped on the highway and shot over to Columbus to the AMA motorcycle museum. I've been there before, but it never gets old.

      Up the highway from the museum is Iron Pony Motorcycle Super Store. I've never was a fan of the modular flip helmet. I tried on a Shoei Neoteck 2 modular helmet. I must say it fits real nice. It might be a nice Christmas gift for myself.

      We've been having beautiful weather for November in northeast Ohio. I'm not sure how long it will last, it can change in a blink of the eye!

        While enjoying record high temps here today, I went out for a ride and found something that instantly took me back to the mid fifties. I shortened my ride after finding this fine piece of machinery due to the 20-30 mph winds.

        I remember my dad using this same set up only with the next size larger tractor. His was the "M" model.

          We had the same tractor. My dad called it "the Hache". I spent much of my pre teen life driving that around the hay field pulling an old John deer baler. Stopping often to re adjust the dang knotters.

              Thursday: Exceptional well above average, low 70s, clear skys. We were with the grandkids at thier house. . . . and predictions were for drastic turn of weather durring the day Friday for the next 7-10 days. So pretty much knew that Thursday would be the "last-nice-day"....

              Friday: Well behind on getting the third round of leaf raking. But had to get out for a ride, 45degF in the morning, out for coffee, stopped here, no sunrize color.

              Went for as bit of a ride out of town. Shoulda had the thicker jacket. Got in a couple hours of leaf raking, an other trailer load.
              In evening, went out to pick up pizza, thought of taking mocykle, looked at thermometer, 38degf, Naw.

              THis morning: 35degF, rainy, and some rain that is floating around, and some rain that is bouncing off the pavement (cant bring myself to actaull say the proper words). And next 7 days not suppose to be any warmer. Forecast use words like "winter mix" and "accumulation" <<heavy sigh>>

              Didnt plan ahead very well, all three bikes have less than half tank gas. Put in some stable in each. Will find some days -sometime- to get each one to gas station. < < heavy sigh > >

                These bridges are still being built?

                  It was moved from somewhere and rebuilt here. I don't know the whole story but somebody spent some serious cash to do it. It is very nice.

                      No riding here today, temps stayed mostly in the mid 20's. Got a real cold spell going on in a large part of the country for the next few days.

                        Hey what happened to the new guy? I was wondering if he and his brothers cousin made it to the beach and made much fun. In NY. In November.

                            He had a link to a "website ". I didn't try it.

                            Rich, I rode through your town when we were in PA. Very nice. I probably won't be going to the beach anytime soon. Weather dudes are predicting unknown amounts of lake effect snow the next few days.

                            I did clean the skis off on the sled. I may be riding that soon.
