Hmmm...your man-gina hurts at 65. I am thinking you are doing something wrong. 65 is not too bad.
Bring the Vette with the top down and try to run us over :D

If I can find a house I like maybe .... But in the general are for sure. Found one with a pool I like the look of..... Anyone know how much it cost to replace the liner of an unground pool?

Great ride guys, I have a new respect for those who rode with me today. With temps in the 20's to 30's and wind chill in the teens, we had a good time. Thanks vrbryan, fixxervi6, and Telomere great riding with yall today.

We weren't the only ones riding today. We came across a group of cyclists pedaling their hearts out on fm157, those guys are NUTZ!

And congratulations to Telomere for completing her 4th and final meatball ride.

Thanks Dragonfly for leading this awesome ride in below freezing temps and thanks for leading my FOURTH meatball ride (technically, it may not be last meatball ride :D). I can tell you that that ride was my official first and last ride in below freezing temps! And yes, there will always be crazier people out and about (like those bikers we saw today). I thought I was nuts until I saw them!! LOL!
