I thought this blog was s'posed to be about riding?

Another quiet weekend for the bike. Did a little bit of riding here and there, but nothing major. 'Bout this time of year, I start heading into 'hibernation' mode, where I focus the energies onto the house. You know; get all the stuff done that I should have been working on during the summer, instead of going out riding all the time. (Yeah, like there's a chance of that happening.)

Current project is revamping the living room lighting. Tore out the 8' long (circa 1970's) fluorescent light that was over the mantle, installed a new ceiling fixture in the center of the room and will put in some bar-lights over the mantle. Had to run a new line over to install a separate switch to split the two lights and figured I might as well run in a new receptacle while I'm at it. (Can never have enough outlets, ya know?). So I'm in the process of doing that; I tied the new line into an existing box in the attic yesterday and started to run the line down into the wall. Have to pick up a deep fixture-box at Home Depot for all the pigtails that will be needed to keep the outlet always-hot and still have the switch work properly. Hoping to get that up and running by the end of the week, then it'll be wall-repair, and then new paint for the walls and ceiling. What fun!

How 'bout them Pats, huh? What a frikkin' game! I'm sure they knew they were going to have a tough time with the Colts, but who knew they'd have such a hard time with the officials?? Can you say "Bullhsit Calls"? Those two interference calls they made against us were utter and complete BS. Even the commentators, notorious for being against the Pats, were saying there was no interference. And then, to add insult to injury, they don't even call the blatant interference that the Colts made on Faulk. Unreal. But it just makes the victory all the sweeter. 9-and-0, Baby!

32 degrees on the way in this morning. Felt good, though, I must have managed to cover up all the holes that were letting air in. Talked to a motorcycle cop at the gym this morning to pick his brain on windshields. Haven't picked one up yet, but haven't shelved the idea, either. Also kicking around the idea of installing some Hippo Hands that I bought...oh...about 4 years ago. (No sense in rushing these things.)

Aside from that; squeeze in what riding you can, while you can. Cold stuff is coming soon.

Ride Hard, Take Chances
