The Good Morning (Your First Logon for the Day) Thread

Good morning, y'all! We have 91 and sunshine here today. It's supposed to be mid-70's tomorrow. Granddaughter/boyfriend/dog are coming over tomorrow, so housecleaning is the order of the day. I'm in charge of dusting/swiffering/vacuuming. Knee feels pretty good, so I'll take a walk after breakfast. Hope everyone has an awesome day!
 
Mornin’ Friends,
Weather wise the bottom has fallen out, the high is down to 80f and we have nearly an 1” of rain in the weekend forecast! Summer has likely given up its last gasp for the year. I need to put the 14 windows back in the screen room. I hope I don’t have to re-glaze more than a couple. If you do your own re-sceening, imagine working with 16mil vinyl. There’s a reason the frames are heavy wall 3/4” square tube aluminum. A preemptive 800mg Ibuprofen and a Flexeril are going down the hatch with my Cheerios. Ice packs, liquid as well as herbal remedies are at the ready as I’m overdue for my 6 month CMC joint injections. Have a great Friday!
John



TMI: Mom’s 1st PCP appointment since hospitalization was a tough one. Her de-conditioning and wheelchair are her new normal as she can’t do the work at 89 with COPD to get back to her walker. She’s at the wanting to be comfortable stage and I’m at the point where I can’t assist her transfers anymore safely for both of us. Her new sporty walker is now my sporty walker. When mom was only 18 when you’re born, you end up much closer together as you approach your respective finish lines. Not being one to jump to coincidence, I can’t help but see the Creator’s hand in this.

Good morning! Lower 70s F and some clouds to the east, going to 95 with small chances of rain in the afternoon. Rain expected tomorrow with highs dropping into low 80s Sunday and into the week.

This morning: repeating yesterday morning, as yesterday landscaper called at last minute to postpone until today.
Some laundry, computer backup, grocery pickup as usual.

Have a great day!
 
Good morning, It’s 63°F going to 67. A big storm is coming in and we are supposed to get our first snow tomorrow and Monday.

With the storm coming in, the Montana Department of Transportation announced they would be closing the Beartooth Pass for the season at 2:30pm on Friday, yesterday. That was all the incentive I needed (not that I ever need a lot) to get the motorcycle out and go across the pass one more time this year.

After the gum, I loaded up and was on the road a bit before 10am. I rode to Red Lodge and my first stop was at the sign marking the beginning of the Beartooth Highway.

Then it was a cruise to the top. It was very nice out but the wind was high, very high. I stopped at the top for the usual photo.

Then it was done the west side and a ride to Cooke City. Along the way I stopped for a photo with Pilot Peak in the background.

After a gas stop it was on to Yellowstone National Park. The ride there was great.

Of course, there was plenty of wildlife but the tourist count was down.

After a stop at the Roosevelt Arch I rode north through Paradise Valley and then grabbed the slab (AKA the freeway) and rode back to Billings. A 362 mile day.

Good morning, y'all! We have only 75 and sunny here today. It'll climb back into the 80's next weekend. Sweetie Pie made homemade shrimp cocktail for today's lunch in anticipation of our granddaughter's visit. We got all the cleaning done except for a few dishes. It was great sleeping with the rare chance to have the windows open all night. Have an awesome day everyone!
 
Good morning! Overcast with a few small breaks to the east. Air is very clear with a clear view of the mountains far to the east peeking over the horizon. Mid 70s F for the walk, gong to 88, expected to be windy with 25% chance of rain. Radar shows nerst significnt rain currently over Tombstone and Wilcox. Some very light rain shafts visible to the north and east, most not even registering on radar.

Today: World's fair/theme park home movies Zoom returns this morning; some laundry; not much else. Got updated CPAP mask yesterday, starting search for good dry-mouth remedy. Should get my butt in gear finding some photo ops for the subject of the month "Water."

Have a great day!

What I wouldn’t give to ride that loop. My “residual self image” has me carving the Oretega Hwy on my last cafe bike (75 Honda CB400F), but at this stage a sport-touring bike would be the ticket.
 
Hello all, late check in, but just checked into our hotel for week end in White Mountains of New Hampshire. 56°F/13°C, clear, some high overcast.

Ride smooth and uneventful until 45 min delay on Route I-93. Took about 45 mins to go 16 miles, got off in Concord, spent too much at LL Bean Outlet, had sandwich and back on busy but no clogged interstate.

Have to be up early tomorrow if we plan to do the Kangamangus Highway through the mountains, concierge says it starts getting backed up at 7:30 pm! Will do shopping/eating in North Conway area then loop up north and back down to Woodstock.

Keep safe everyone!
