42 degrees f (4 degrees C). Heated gloves were nice. Its a 1.5 hours journey to work so eventually the cold gets in but not too bad. Dark here before 7 AM and its closing in. I won,t be going to and from work again in the daylight untill next April....Still better than being in one of those useless metal boxes looking at all the other useless people in their metal boxes going nowhere...........Why do people do it everyday ?. Also why don,t people get out of my way in the fast lane........don,t they know I am the man ?.

was about 15 C (59F) here today, but I froze my nuts off in the shower just now, came home and a neighbor told me one of the horses somehow opened a watertap and all the water ran into the field ergo the well is dry and no water til next rain! luckily I got a solar camp shower, unfortunately the solar doesn't work at night so the water I got from the neighbor's yard tap felt like -104874900 degrees! good for getting cold resistant for winter though. hopefully I dont get a >whatever< infection from it....

It was 32* the other day. I believe that's freezin.

On the upside, if you're a skier, A-basin and Loveland resorts just opened. It's officially ski season here in CO.

I may have to get this to get to work this winter

'course not son! Rode the Wang as I do each and everyday my child, unless there is ice on that which is known as the streets. Now if'n its pouring down rain when I leave at 5 in the morning, I might utilize the jeepment. I guess on the average I take the jeepment to work less than 10 times per year. I prolly should ride the Buell when there is ice on the roads. It's insured you know. It might be the best way to unload it.

BTW 30F (-1.1C) this morning then.
