Ive used a knife on a deer before under the same circumstances. A gun would have been a lot better.

I didn't have a gun. I came up on a deer car accident where the woman hit an 8 pointer. I basically slit it's throat. I also put it in the back of her truck. That was a heavy deer, but I was 20 and full of life then.

You should have put it in your own truck Jim.

I rode a very cold 60 miles to my brother's house in Maryland. It was 36 degrees when I left my house. Spent the day and rode back in a nice warm F-250. I left my bike in his garage.

Knew the bike needed some gas so I took a little trip. Only did around 15 miles but it was good.

High 40s when I left this morning to meet friends for Breakfast in Central Valley, NY - a gorgeous high 50s when I returned to New City -- just under 60 miles round trip. At least 10 degrees milder than usual for this time of year!

It's about 76° here right now, sunny without a cloud in the sky. Maybe I'll take the bike out for a little cruise.

CJ, don't be cruel!!!

Forecast was a pretty good for western NC today. Left the house at 8:45 AM when temp hit 50 on TV. 90 miles running due west on Hwy 11. It "meanders" through SC along the NC border and makes for a relaxing but enjoyable start. Caught Hwys 14 and 176 and headed North up "The Saluda Grade" past Asheville (locals say that road is crooked'r then a dogs hind leg) which made for smiles plus the temp had made it to 61 and the sun was out! Grabed the BRP and went east. Came down off the mountain on Hwy 80 (that road is really bent and the Nomad's boards made sparks several times) Then worked way back to hwy 74 and a late BBQ sandwich in Shelby 'fore I got home at 5PM. Was really tempted to ride around developement for a mile as had clocked 299 miles when hit driveway.

Was able to get out yesterday for a nice long ride. Left Lansdale Pa and cruised west/southwest thru rural Chester County and then south to Chesapeake City Maryland for lunch. Took 82 North to 23 in Lancaster area and the. Headed for home. Just under 200 miles for the day. Was able to get 39mpg too.
