Re: Unusual Ride Today

We all obviously missed a spirited ride with the two beasts.

I was finally relieved of duty and was able to sneak in a 65+ mile ride yesterday afternoon.  Absolutely no interesting tale to tell other than the fact that the heat and hills of the Port Jeff area completely wiped me out.

Ori, (a.k.a beast (or weatherdude)),
We hope you're tracking this hurricane for us that's now making its way through the Caribbean??

Barry,

Don't be so modest. You have serious wit and literary chops of your 
own. And your knowledge of automotive vintage is superb.

Your riding isn't bad either. ;-)
