I have a pair of muffs here that are similar to Hippo Hands -- &lt;a href=&quot;http://scooter-wear.com/tucano-urbano-handlebar-muffs/tucano-urbano-r361-1-scooter-motorcycle-handlebar-muffs#.VG0x31fF-Gk&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Tucano Urbano Scooter Handlebar Muffs&lt;/a&gt;.  I just need to install them after I install the heated grips.  And right now it&#039;s too cold for me to tinker in the unheated garage.

I think I&#039;m whining...]]></description>

Bill,

No, haven&#039;t considered that.  In part because I don&#039;t like the looks of the bigger screens, but mostly because my hands are really the only big problem.  The muffs should fix that better than a windscreen.]]></description>

No snow yet -- just a few flakes in the air.  Junior has nothing to bound in but doesn&#039;t seem to bother him.  When it does snow and I find myself on the road I have plenty of backroad options to get where I need to go.  Usually anyways.  Snow and light traffic are a good combination when traveling on two wheels.

Mr. Dressup.  That&#039;s funny.  You&#039;re the only one in this Solar System that thinks that.

I used to have more food related morning rituals but they seem to have evaporated as I feel more rushed.  Need to think about that.

If you win a lottery or inherit a fortune from an unknown relative, your then have to approach a custom chopper shop and have them build you a right-sized Vespa from the ground up.  Then you can do those meandering rides through the Canadian countryside.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How about Hippo Hands?  Since getting a pair for my ride, I no longer fumble with wires, or tax the electrical system of the bike.  Sure, I can&#039;t see my hands any more, but I shouldn&#039;t be looking at my hands anyway, and they&#039;re warm.

					<description><![CDATA[Have been watching the weather radar in your area, that white stuff should be on the ground. Had some three inches of wet soggy snow this morning here at the west end of Lake Ontario. Temperature is below freezing so the roads are slick.  Morning commute (thankfully no longer part of my existence) has been horrible.  Numerous accidents as drivers relearn how to drive in the winter. Given the rural nature of your existence suspect you take the backroads to work rather than the main highways.
So did Junior bounce out into the snow this morning for the firstfew run and chase the 
b all workouts or did he simply curl up and sleep after doing his morning pee?

Now as Mr. Dressup for the first chilly ride into Saints Cafe, the firs ttime every first time always takes time, By winter&#039;s end you&#039;ve got the process down to a science and then, it&#039;s over for another year.

My 14 year old rescue cat stuck his nose out on the back deck this morning when I checked the snow covered 
temperature weather station. He was quite happy to sit beside me and watch me take readings. I used to let a computer do the readings however much prefer to do so my self, which gets me up in the morning.. Then a French press coffee and bloodwork taken
as well as bring the gas up under the porridge. By the time the porridge is hot, am dressed and more or less functioning .

BTW the short video presentation on the Vespa makes mewish there was such as device
(Vespa) more my size however know darn well that is never going to happen. Was invited out last night (Sunday) for a meal at a friend&#039;s house. He&#039;s the local Lincoln dealer and with all the Lincoln vehicles for North America built in next door to me Oakville, had a new top of the line 2015 in the drive. Suggested I try it (as if Ill give up my Honda  Ridgeline.).  No way could I even get myself behind the wheel of this monstrous SUV. Even with the seat back it was way too tight for my legs or for my headroom. Told hm to build a real SUV for real sized people....  Mind his wife had a scrumptous stew prepared. She works forthe local GM agency, drives a proper vehicle, a ten year old GM pickup, with lots of room. Her boss want to give her a new pick up and she flatly refuses. 

Wonder why, eh?

Keep riding...as best you can]]></description>
