Hey all. Just checking in on the roster, praying all are well. Looks like some nasty destruction, from this front sweeping across the States.

I see the Amazon warehouse that collapsed was near St Louis. Hope Ray is ok.

Plenty of warning on these storms. (Our neighborhood sirens went off 3 times yesterday evening.) Not a big fan of Amazon (as you might infer from other posts). Tragic loss of life in a relatively flimsy structure in Illinois -of course, outside the tax structure of Saint Louis and Missouri. (Aerial footage shows some neighboring structures without visible damage - though sometimes tornadoes simply do that.) Similar tragedy outside Baltimore a few years ago. Stay good.

Here is the view out of my front door this morning. No snow by my house yet.
I didn't ride today, I drove to Denver and went to the new Revzilla store (very small, a disappointment), a new Cycle Gear closer to my house, and to a couple of dealerships. A good day.

72 F right now with 40 to 50 mph gusts.
They say gusts will increase to 80 and 100 mph by late afternoon.

It was warm enough I waxed both cars in the garage today.
I don't think I've ever waxed a car in December.

It's been in the high 60's to low 70's here, but kind of rainy and windy (fortunately not the 100 mph winds predicted yesterday). Unfortunately I haven't been able to get out for a ride lately.

Before going to bed I went outside and could smell the smoke from the Kansas fires. I don't think we have any damage. When it gets lighter I take a look.
