| Good morning gang. Have you ever been too tired to sleep? Yesterday's ride was probably the roughest I've ever done, the last 400 miles was all interstate with lots of trucks all doing 85 mph. Started out at 32 degrees, went up to 93 and finished at 88. After all the temperature changes and truck wash blowing me all over the highways, I'm too tired to type any more. talk to you all later. |

| .... on the bright side, all those trucks on the highway might be an indicator that the economy is picking up ??? |

| Good morning OnS. Thank goodness you made it in one piece.That had to be a truly miserable ride. All those trucks are more than likely hauling stuff made in another country so I doubt the economy is improving so much. The amount of trucks on Rte 80 have stayed the same throughout the past 5 years or so. I never get on it unless I absolutely have to I use Rte 6 |

| Good morning Seniors! Sounds like too long of a ride on a bike for me, OnS. My back, aye yie yie!! I'll be thinkin about ya, Kelster! Had a little rain overnight here. Good thing the temps aren't a little lower, or we'd have another Halloween Blizzard situation like we had in '91 when we got 30 inches on Halloween! |
