    You are tougher than I Dave. I simply can't ride any more when it is cold; or even cool for that matter. Used to do it always but no more. But then, since that last surgery I have not been able to ride at all. Nuts...

    I love the way it looks like someone has drawn a chalk line along the mountains and coloured it white above the line. When we were flying, you would see the clouds hanging as if they all were on a glass plate at the same level.

    Well, not the same type bike, but, it does have 2 wheels. I came home the other day, told my wife, i'm not going to waste this day, its too nice out, i'm going for a ride on the bike. Fired it up, let it warm took off for a friends house, i just threw on a hoodie,sweat shirt, no leather jacket, no chaps, gloves, helmet and a pair of goggles. About 20 min into the ride, i knew i'd screwed up, i could feel the cold on my chest and arms. Got to my buddy's we visited for about 45 min to an hour, i headed back home the long way, it was another 10 plus degree's cooler and at 55 who knows the temp. Well, i knew better, now I've got the old scratchy throat, itchy eyes, watery eyes, and itchy ears, yup, caught a cold. But, it was such a nice day, ha,ha. On the way home, i knew i'd screwed up i could feel the cold going though me. Oh well, my fault i knew better to dress light. It was still a nice day for a ride.
