Thanks for the report, Shirley. I, too, was waiting to hear (plus how Wayne's wedding went).
Glad you had a great dive.
Poor friggin' Floridians. It went below freezing at night. La de dah. It got down to -6 Saturday morning in WV where I was. It didn't break freezing during the day.
Please, can I move to FL or AZ or somewhere warm?
Come on down, Barbi! We'd love to have ya! It's bright and sunny today, with a slight breeze, and the thermometer is sitting right around the low 70's...perfect weather to put the bike through its paces.
I believe Wayne and Janet's wedding must have gone well...they sure looked all googly-eyed and happy this weekend!
Amigo's had a great anniversary celebration going as well. Everytime I went by, it was packed with great folks and good food (except for that one time around daylight on Sunday morning when I dropped by for a quick fill...sorry Wayne and Janet!)

Shirley you're not serious? No, I'm not, but do stop calling me Shirley.

sorry i missed it. i woke up friday to drive down (having preregistered online weeks before) and our water pipes were frozen. well, I could shower in florida I figured and took off anyway.
About an hour and a half down the interstate a radio report said freezing all day and all night and all I could think of was my wife and kid home with no water, the pipes getting so hard-frozen they'd break, and I'd be 600 miles away. I turned around and came home and spent the next 18 hours thawing pipes - jeesh even the drains had frozen so after getting some water to run I had to heat the drain pipes!
the good news is that I found a strange hole in the foundation under the back step/porch that in some odd convoluted way was funneling a blast of cold wind (not even a breeze) right up under the house and I plugged that sucker! I think maybe I've put an end to freezing pipes that has plagued me for a decade.
no damage except for the missed weekend in florida! I'm still wondering if i made the right decision!
