An Interesting Week.

A lot has happened since the last entry. A week ago last Monday I was riding and seeing Bald Eagles. Wednesday, I was working in the garage...

After the last entry, it started snowing on Thursday afternoon and kept snowing until Friday night.

By Saturday afternoon it had warmed up enough to take one of the bikes out for a ride. Unfortunately, Saturday night the furnace quit working. Note the large open spot where a big motor and fan should be...

Luckily the temps have been very mild last 4 days, but it's been rainy and gray so there's been no riding.

Tuesday, I had my last follow up visit with the eye surgeon. I got the all is OK with my left eye! And on Monday I go in to get checked for new glasses!

The furnace is still down, waiting on parts... I hope the parts get here soon as the temps are headed for a low of 14° this weekend. The basement is nice and warm thanks to the in-floor heat system, and we can have a fire in the fireplace if it cools off too much upstairs.

I think the riding season is officially over!

Riding on Borrowed Time...

This year's riding season is soon to come to an end. The weather guessers are calling for a few wet days and then some more sun and 50°... We'll see. By this time last year we had several inches of snow on he ground already.

We've had a some very nice fall days lately and I've managed to get a few things done. Last week, I took the Zx-14 out for a long ride and a fresh tank of no E premium with Sta-bil added at the gas stop. I did the same thing with the FJR yesterday. I stopped at Delta lake for photo ops with both bikes...

That's sun reflection, not road rash.

After riding up the Delta-Drummond Road, I cut over on CR-E towards Mason. This was the view just before Mason.

I noticed something in the field...

Zoom in a little...

Zoom in a some more...

We see a lot of Bald Eagles up here in the north woods, but usually they're flying by or circling overhead. When they're feasting on road kill, it's usually on the roadside and they take off when you get close. This was a great opportunity! Far enough away to not scare him off, but close enough for a picture.

I spent most of today working in the garage. I was rearranging things trying to make the most of the space. Freeing up the tractor's snow blower, putting away the mower deck, sweeping the floor... I hope to have the wood rack filled and the garage finished tomorrow.

I did make time for a ride on the Wr250x, just long enough to warm it up so I could change the oil.
