Good morning all

Why I was awake before 0300 Heaven only knows but I was so there's coffee in the pot for you. It's the last of the Cubano roast for a while, until we use up the French roast Mrs. Fun brought home from PA a while back.

It's 46°F and clear in Rockville at this uncivilized hour, and when the sun finally rises four-plus hours from now we'll start warming toward an eventual high around 63. Should be good weather for al the little munchkins, imps, ghouls, and goblins as they come begging for sweets. I've laid in a good supply of turnips, beets, rutabagas, parsnips, and celery to dole out; won't they be pleasantly surprised at the deviation from what everyone else is handing out? I know their dentists will be.

Before evening falls I may sit on the porch and play ukulele.

Stay safe and well everyone and tell your dear ones you love them. Do it today, NOW, for tomorrow may be too late.

thou art but unwelcome noise ... :coffee:

G'Day...

6°/11°C @ 73% RH, mostly cloudy, noticeable winds, chances of rain in the afternoon... 🌧️

finally weekend, nothing on the schedule, but what happens right at the but-crack of dawn?!

you're wide awake... 🤨

a little itch here, a pinching shoulder there, tinnitus playing white-noise, mind hamsters boarding the wheel... grrrr... 🙄

so downstairs I went, my first cuppa not even finished, ze GF appears as well... can't sleep in either...

hence more caffeine ☕☕, fresh home made bread and various stuff to put on... yummy...

perimeter check of the garden, definitely fall, even our planted maple tree now shows very pretty gold-red leafs... 🍁

You've omitted chocolate dipped brussels sprouts, wrapped in golden foil... :wink:

Have a nice Saturday, and don't get spooked 👻😎

thanks for start Keith it sounds like the makings of a good soup or salad but what do I know about any of that
got out for a bit the ST yesterday before some more rain looking for some fuel line clamps 10C still well within the comfort range for that bike
no appetite for a final ride on another one before lay up but today looks a bit dryer and what's that motto - why do today what you can sluff off until tomorrow? something like that anyway
I've got my friends Yamaha maxim carbs back reassembled and think Ill mark the PMS screws and initial position before we reassemble or should I say move onto the next chapter of the blind leading the blind or better yet the blind leading the why did I let that guy take my carbs apart?
wish everyone a safe ride if you're able and if you're in BC don't forget to not turn your clock back or what time (does anybody really know what time it is? does anyone... really care, ) to show up for work
(edit) hey you know if you set your air for 20 psig and gradually increase the pressure on that little oval chamber the slide thingy goes up and down... and...
It's fun 🤩 IMG_3387.jpegIMG_3389.jpegIMG_3391.jpeg

Thx Keith!
First cow gets the cleanest grass.

12˚c/54f, slight breeze from south, overcast and very dark clouds.

Plan to go fishing, but I’ll wait a bit to see what intention those clouds have, trick or treat?

Have a scary one!

Which instantly reminds me of the Amazon Series Outer Range featuring Josh Brolin... 😎
 
Good morning, all. Thanks, Keith.

59/77 and sunny, but they’re saying that there’s definately a possibility of rain tomorrow. Not definite rain, but a definate possibility.

It only took a week to get me locked into a new routine. I woke up at the same time that I’ve been setting my alarm, but today I have nothing on the calendar. I had planned to sleep in, but that didn’t happen. One more cup, and I’ll go watch the sun come up.

Ride Safe

John
