Finally getting cool enough for some serious riding. 40s to 60s Perfect weather for those who wear gear.
It got down to 26 last night. No snow yet but I have PLENTY of leaves to rake.

Did leaves all day today. ALL day. Raked leaves. Blew leaves. Pulled the lawn sweeper to pick up leaves. Finally even plowed leaves. This works really great! Put the snowplow on the Polaris ATV and you can't believe how well it moves piles of leaves. No more raking onto a tarp, etc. Push those suckers across the yard into the woods and sweep up what's left.
Oh, and took the Connie for a half hour ride when the warden (sorry, the wife) wasn't slave driving. It was a gorgeous fall day. Upper 50's and hardly a breath of wind all day. The lake was like the proverbial mirror.
Colder and rain forecast for tomorrow.
Did the leaves yesterday so I can ride tomorrow! (Wifey is working.....)
I did the leaves yesterday too but this morning there's WAY more than I had yesterday! You can't even tell that I did anything yesterday at all! Plus is rained so now I have to deal with a shitload of wet leaves.
Leaves, a thankless fall chore. I did round one last weekend. Round two is today.
To help reduce the pain of that task, I got myself a kick-ass leaf blower, the Kawasaki KRB750B.
