I did about 10 miles.

The bike was caked in mud, so I rode to the car wash to spray it down.

The minute I was finished, it started to rain.

Same here, but no leaves to rake thanks to high winds

Did wash the cars though

Yeah I love our trees BUT the leaves do love to collect in the yard.

I was going to put front brakes on the Jeep but my freakin' floor jack broke yesterday with the Jeep jacked up...luckily the jack stands caught it but then it was too low to put the tire back on or get the Jeep off the broken floor jack. Luckily I had an old floor jack and a 4"x4" and was able to get the Jeep high enough to remove the jack that was leaking fluid everywhere out and get my tire back on. After that I said screw it and the wife and I took off on the bikes. I still had crap to do in the yard when I got back plus the Panthers were on TV starting at 4 pm and I wanted to catch some of the game.

I'm off Wednesday for Vereran's day so I'll get another jack and attempt to change the brakes again.

Felt pretty crappy this weekend, so I got almost nothing done despite absolutely perfect weather Rode my wife's VLX in to work today since I didn't have the energy to replace the flat tire on my SV.

Looks like it could be my last ride for the week, freaking freak storms...

I got a few miles in last night. Rode to band practice and back. Traffic sucked, but the HID is awesome at night. Saw a few deer making eyes at me. Then the bolt that holds my shifter on fell out going down the road. Awesome. Rode home without shifting gears.
