Time has been scarce of late. So an afternoon ride was squeezed in amongst errands. I am still chasing the bug that turns the driving […]
Adjustable Conditions
It started out as a lovely day for a ride with relatively clear skies and a plan to meander in an easterly direction. Somehow, I […]
Awning Morning
The Smittybilt awning made its way from the Bay Window to the Vanagon, but never got used. Finally one morning after a coffee run, we […]
A Harmonious Ton
62MPH equals 100KPH, which is technically doing the metric ton. It is not very fast these days, but it is not slow either. It happens […]

Low Voltage
