Fall finally here

AHHHH 59 degrees when I went down the driveway this morning. Light jacket, all windows up, heater full blast once I got up to 80. Real comfy. But my favorite part is that if I am lucky enough drive around at lunchtime, top down feels good.

Crap, I just got home and it's about 49 degrees. I think the high today was 63. Fall is passing us by up here in the snow belt.

From: Chicago.. yes, Chicago
Cruising to work the last couple of mornings at 54F. With the windscreen in place, seat warmers turned "on" and a jacket, I'm good to go in the NW 'burbs of Chicago.

No top down today since it's raining

I haven't got my winter blood yet. For all you *Southerners* that's the blood that lets us *Northerners* endure temps in the 50-60 without a coat.

We get our winter blood here in Florida, it's what allows us to tolerate temps under 70 or so without jacket, gloves, hat, etc. Once it drops below 50, we don't go outside.



Actually, the weather just started to cool off yesterday. Last two nights it has gotten down to 65 or so. Drive to work is nice, but it's 90+ on the way home.

It was in the 40's this AM, perfecrt for a jacket, heated seats and the heater... my family thinks I'm nuts, but I rode a motorcycle in the wintertime in Chicago for 5 years, so this seems like nothing.
