That's not cold!  If it was that warm here, I would have gone and shot a round of sporting clays.  It was around 10 degrees this morning and has warmed up to a balmy 20 degrees this afternoon.

It's normally 65° now , so yeah , 34° is cold . Tomorrow it's suppose to be in the low 60s , again .

 I'm not complaining ... If we were in Michigan , we'd have temps similar to yours , Rick . It's 23° there now .

Rode my bike to Houston Saturday afternoon and back Saturday night just wearing a tee shirt and jeans.
It was 78%F. Then Sunday dropped to 24%F. Like they say; if you don't like the weather in Texas just stand still 5 minutes
it will change.

I have always thought a great adventure would be to go cross country on a small scooter.
I thought maybe buy a new Honda Ruckus with one year and unlimited miles warranty.
Then take off for a full year and try and put say 1 or 2 hundred thousand miles on it.
I can just imagine the dealers reaction.

Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right,
There's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

My "big trip" dream is to take our model T across the country on route 50 (we live just south of it) & camp like they used to along the roadsides.  I've been gathering up period camping supplies for while now.  I don't know if any of you have ever read any of published diaries of people who documented their long trips in the early days of the automobile, but they are great.

Mike, I had a Uncle that took his 1911 model T all the way to the top of Pikes Peek. Under its own power then years later was able to raz his son in law about it. His son in law builds his own planes and Uncle ask him how high does it fly? He stated 12,500 is its max why? Uncle pointed to his modle T and said see that car its been higher! Lol
