Guys,
I'm so pumped up! The weather in Boston is 60 degrees tmmrow and not too windy. I'm gonna take the boat out one last time before she gets winterized. Can't wait!

How was it? I bet is seems different with all the deciduous trees bare, etc.! Did the weather cooperate all day?

Sorry you missed out on your bike ride, Harvey, but it is hard to stay warm when it's in the 20's! As I've gotten older, my tolerance for the cold has changed! In my 20's there was no limit; in my 40's I decided no riding in single digit temperatures; now I won't ride until it gets into the 30's!

It was great! Weather was so warm...Still can't believe it. The seas were pretty rough though because of the wind but I didn't care about that. I was just happy to be out there all day. I actually saw some other nuts (I mean boaters!) out there too. Lol. There were a few big sportfishers with flybridges and then other random boats like CC types. I took a few pics. I'll put them in my album.

As to the motorcycle comments it'd be tough to ride this time of year in either my neck of the woods or the PNW. I used to have Gerbings heated gear when I rode on the street; like heated gloves and vest liner etc.

When I was working I rode all year. I only refused to ride when there was black ice. I got caught on it twice. NOT FUN!

I rode every day to work in Portland OR for 5 years, except when it was ICE conditions. Learned to ride very carefully.

Much rather ride in the warm(er) weather though.

It was close to 70 here for the last two days. We were out for two nights on the Chesapeake for Thanksgiving.

I got out for a short ride today. The Harley started right up. I was worried because I didn't have it on a tender. It was pretty cold, but sunny.

Sure beats the minus 3 deg. while camping near bend during thanksgiving.

I can't believe the mild weather we're having in southern New England this year. It's all upper 50's starting this Friday through Tuesday of next week....This is extremely rare for Boston in December. I'll be out on the boat again! I still haven't winterized her yet.....

Enjoy it while you can! It has been too windy here to do much but hunker down! I saw a young lady trying to jog yesterday; she was being blown out into traffic!

I "sort of" have it! I picked it up in Portland and dropped it off in Mt. Vernon to have a lot of work done on it! I hope to have a lot more photos in the near future.
