Not sure how Paul feels about writing. It requires a person to sit still for a bit! I’ll ask.

I’ve been pushing the Creamery for years to add hot dogs to their offerings. A colleague told me he talked to the Creamery manager who asked how I was doing. When he heard I was OK he told my colleague to tell me that he had just ordered a hot dog machine but when he heard about my heart attack he cancelled the order. Nice to have friends…

My favorite ice cream is Death by Chocolate. That selection has new meaning. I’ll probably reduce my ice cream intake to zero. A dark day in my life…

We get a wide variety of skies and resultant light because of the kind of weather changes that pass through central Pennsylvania. I don’t look up enough!

Feeling good and may be back to work this week. Another adventure.

No more ice cream from there in your present condition, eh?

Thanks for sharing and I hope you are feeling better.

I have the same reactions Fred to being caught in a change of weather. It is exhilarating to be faced with an unexpected challenge.

I’m not sure which model Paul has — never really looked that close at it.

Thanks for your kind words about the photos and reflections — I’ll try to keep things interesting as rides unfold.

Straight video would probably be better for lightning. You have a lot of long horizon vistas in Colorado. You should be able to shoot an approaching storm and still have time to get out of its way!

Just don’t become a URAL-based stormchaser — that sounds a little crazy.

I think you’re right about attitude being a part of riding in the rain. As my father used to say, “You won’t melt boy.” So I ride without much concern when it’s warm.

As the temperature drops it’s a little different but as long as I’m able to stay dry it’s still not much of a concern.

Be careful out there though. Traction certainly changes. Not sure what you’re riding but “fairing” almost implies something big to me.
