Gray and shitty here today. Temperatures are still reasonable (60s-70sºF) but heading down into the 50s this weekend. Should at least be sunny and dry for a good portion of DOOM. :)

72 and sunny here, had a beautiful fall day. Went to the DMV and registered the RD as an antique so's I don't haveta get it inspected, then had an awesome ride home, had the Middle Road all to myself, AND 235--that never happens.
Now I'm having a sciatica attack.

I've had the woodstove running five or six times so far, and the furnace has been on a couple times. But I have a trick to warming up the house in the fall: baking. Banana bread, pumpkin bread, baguettes, bagels, cookies... the house is warm and smells great.

I love this time of year.

It's been unseasonably nice here. Lot's of clear days, approaching 70 with regularity. Definitely cooling off in the mornings and evenings tho.

Cooling off here too - 95-100 during the day, mid 70s at night.

Strangely, at 4% humidity, those numbers are VERY pleasant. I'm back to my usual long sleeved shirts.

Still getting used to somewhere that the riding season is fall winter and spring, and everyone parks their bikes from the end of June until the end of September.

Man, it has been unseasonably cool down here. Mid 60's overnight, upper 80's during the day and sunny as fuck, Wish I had a working bike, although the top and doors are off of the Jeep for the time being.

No shit. "They" are saying we're gonna start cooling off. Only in the 90s today--70s next week, maybe rain on Tuesday.

And windy/brushfire season's coming up.
