My fingers lack color but I want to go for a ride. Reading about winter coming your way in Alaska isn't helping. Please post more often about toasty fires, being too hot, the sun is a problem shining in your eyes -- that sort of thing. It will be immensely helpful in getting my off my ass and into motion.<br /><br />Warmest regards,<br /><br />steveSteve Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540977884513559091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-58358129598067206542015-11-15T05:07:25.358-09:002015-11-15T05:07:25.358-09:00Richard,

Wet cold still = warmer and if I can personally stay dry, that's what gets my vote. I do understand though. Our sort-of annual "January Thaw" is something we mostly look forward to as a break from day after day cold.Coop a.k.a.

They did mention that that there was some burns from the muffler and asked if I wanted it patched. I called and said yes, gave them a CC number for the repair but it wasn't done. And this is the second time the back pad velcro has had to be replaced. When it comes loose again, it'll probably just be sewn on and seam sealed...RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-86529836859534410372015-11-13T09:33:30.536-09:002015-11-13T09:33:30.536-09:00Thank you for stopping by and commenting!
