The smell of coffee can actually wake your brain up.
Which explains why you can stand there, sniffing it like a raccoon with a life plan,
and suddenly feel 12% more capable of pretending you have your life together...



G'Day...

7°/18°C today, blue skies, should stay clear into the late afternoon/evening...
To avoid another eye watering episode I'd my SHOEI face-shield closed this morning... mostly...

desperately needed home and office caffeination...

Spent Sat & Sun out riding, mostly practice and shakedown run...
Took it slow, getting the stiffness out, ze GF needs to get used to even more, requiring a break and stretch after about 1 hour...
She's still slow, but getting there, at least she's back in the saddle...

Saturday nice, winding C and D routes northwest of the city, a fine lunch, arriving at our accommodation...
Took a +1 hr walk/hike through the nearby woodland, had an excellent dinner...
Pretty wrung out ze GF turned in early, and slept like dead...

Sunday pretty much the same route back, again nice weather, with a more stiff breeze, creating a few dust devils on the freshly plowed fields...

We found an oddity on her SENA SC10U intercom with 2 button control:
obviously you can activate bike 2 bike intercom only with an additional remote...
pressing the [-] key for one second activates "group intercom" but never the already paired connection to my SRL-II...
As her handlebar mounted RC4 can barely be operated with gloves on, is an RC3 on the way...

Well, today its back to our dreaded life as office drones...

Thx Martin!
Seems like a nice weekend!!!

10˚c/50f, some sun, wind almost calm, and that feels real good.

Been for a walk.
Now to cycle for some groceries.
Some gardening, some cooking.
Maybe a ride later.

Have a good one!

Good morning all!
Thanks for the start, Martin.
It was a lovely weekend, too bad it had to end!

Currently 8C with today’s high of 19!
I hope those in the pain & recouping category are healing well!

I can see where I may knock some cobwebs off my F3 Spyder, a ride to ???
Enjoy your day!
Cheers mate!

Morning all, and thanks Martin for the startup.

Glad you and ZG has a good weekend riding.

3C and partly sunny for the drive into work this morning. We'll see 16 for the high.

Lots do do in the few hours I'm at work this morning, which is why I'm late posting, and whey I'll be brief.

TTYL,

Obo.

Good morning, everyone. Thanks for the cup, Martin.

62/82 with slight chance of rain, although there is a red sky this morning. There’s the old saying…Red sky in morning, coffee needs warming.

Yesterday, I discovered a huge mess in the garage. A while back, I was proud of myself by organizing various liquids by storing them all in a large plastic tote. Yesterday, I needed some Armor All and looked in the tote, only to find a black gooey mess. Evidently the quart metal can of acetone had rusted out and leaked, which then rusted out the bottom of a can of black Rustolium paint, which sprayed everywhere. Then the 1/4” deep mixture of acetone and paint combination dissolved the 2 bottles of spray wax and my container of Mothers wheel polish. Everything else was mired in the layer of goo. Some items, I saved, but some were solvent welded to the tote.

Good morning and thanks for the coffee start, Martin.
It sounds like you and ze GF had a good time.

It's sunny and 49, rising to 67, later.

The weekend was olay, although I didn't do a lot.

It looks like that's the plan for today, although I might soak up some sun on the porch.

Enjoy your day,
Steve
