Big Suck.
Blue sky and sunshine, though…so I can't hate the ENTIRE day, can I?

SISTER

Tuesday, November 11, 2014 7:05 PM (P)

My gratitude to all who have served and their families.

SISTER

Wednesday, November 12, 2014 7:03 PM (P)

So, it was 72 degrees yesterday…and it's 39 today. Winter happened here.
Hump day everyone!

SISTER

Thursday, November 13, 2014 7:37 PM (P)

Friday EVE!!
Have to build a rock road today…wish me luck?

SISTER

Friday, November 14, 2014 6:44 PM (P)

Rock road still a work in progress. But it IS Friday…so that's a good thing.

SISTER

Saturday, November 15, 2014 6:39 PM (P)

The mega move continues…hoping to get a BIG bite out of it this weekend….
Have a good one!

SISTER

Sunday, November 16, 2014 8:23 PM (P)

125 motorcycles and five HUGE truck and trailer loads of palleted parts are HERE!! 75% of the Massive Move completed…now we'll have all winter to sort and shelve things.
Of course today is pissing rain so no big trucks can get near the building which is swimming in mud; but a big chunk of stuff done so we're getting there.
Have a great day!!

SISTER

Monday, November 17, 2014 6:29 PM (P)

let the weather fit the day…..
cold, raining possibly snow later.
Big Suck.

SISTER

Tuesday, November 18, 2014 6:25 PM (P)

Snow and very cold this morning…
at least Big Suck is over for now.

SISTER

Wednesday, November 19, 2014 6:50 PM (P)

Yesterday was a terrible day. My husband's boss apparently had a heart attack in his driveway and died sometime Monday evening. No one else was at home so they didn't find him until yesterday morning. The guy was 78 and not in the best health. Still, very sad day.

SISTER

Thursday, November 20, 2014 6:50 PM (P)

humping along.

BROWNCOAT1

Thursday, November 20, 2014 7:42 PM (P)

Sorry to hear about your husband's boss Sister. Very sad. I feel for his family and friends.

Hope all the troops are doing well and preparing for Turkey Day next week. Not sure what we are doing yet as the family is up in the air right now.

Friday…dreading 'visitation' and funeral this weekend. Will try to make the best of it.

SISTER

Saturday, November 22, 2014 7:00 PM (P)

Saturday!!
At least the massive move is almost complete.
YAY..no more massive rent payments!

SISTER

Sunday, November 23, 2014 8:00 PM (P)

Sunday and it's pouring rain.
I guess that's appropriate for a funeral.

SISTER

Monday, November 24, 2014 6:31 PM (P)

Gotta say it…I'm actually glad it's Big Suck as all that funeral stuff is over.
Have a good week.

SISTER

Tuesday, November 25, 2014 6:46 PM (P)

Tuesday…bright, sunny and COLD.
The sun LIES.

BROWNCOAT1

Tuesday, November 25, 2014 11:42 PM (P)

Wish we had the sun here, though we did have sun and 72 yesterday. Cloudy and mid 50s today. Calling for snow tomorrow night. Gotta love weather in Virginia. LOL

Hope everyone has a short week leading into Turkey Day. If you're traveling be safe. If I don't get a chance tomorrow I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving.

Do be safe if traveling, brown coats….we need all of ya.

BROWNCOAT1

Wednesday, November 26, 2014 7:28 PM (P)

Miserable, cold, rainy day. Let's hope the snow holds off.

Hope those that are off from work today enjoy the time off. Those of you stuck at work (like me) I hope that you can get out of there soon and get home to your families.

Stay shiny troops.

SO glad I don't do 'black friday.'
Wayyyyy to many people.
I believe I'm becoming a hermit.

SISTER

Saturday, November 29, 2014 8:28 PM (P)

Leaf raking and Laundry…a nice lazy way to spend a Saturday.
Have a great one!

SISTER

Sunday, November 30, 2014 8:27 PM (P)

Happy Sunday, fellow brown coats.
Hope everyone has enjoyed the holiday weekend.
I certainly did.

SISTER

Monday, December 1, 2014 6:37 PM (P)

Busy Big Suck….
Can't avoid all the stores this time of year…but catalog shopping is great.

BROWNCOAT1

Monday, December 1, 2014 9:56 PM (P)

Hey Sister! Hope you and the family had a great Thanksgiving.

Had a pretty quiet one here. Got drug out Thursday night for some "early Black Friday" deals (why not just call it Shameless Pursuit of More Holiday Money Thursday and be done w/ it?) and was surprised how dead it was out there. Hopefully it will send a message to greedy retailers and they will stay closed on Thanksgiving so retail folks can stay home with their families. Oh who am I kidding? No way the corporations will give up the opportunity to make a dollar even for a holiday. *sighs*

About done with Christmas gifts. Just a few more to pick up and we will be all set.

I did the rake the lawn thing myself on Saturday Sister. Got it done in pretty near record time then went ahead and cleaned out the gutters again. Got to tackle the flower beds next weekend.

Hey, BC1!…
Yup had a good, peaceful T-Day…leaf raking weekend so it's all good.
I get at least a foot-tall stack of catalogs a week this time of year; plus all the buy, buy, BUY hype…
I have managed to avoid all that crap for years…of course, we live pretty far away from any big chain stores so that helps, too.
Did you see where I got a Can-Am Spyder for my b-day? LOVE IT!
Have a great Tuesday!

What?!? How the Special Hell did I miss that?!?

Congratulations! How do you like the Spyder? There is a lady in our HOG group who rides a Spyder. She had a Harley, but dumped it bad a few years back and got gun shy of two wheels. Her husband who rides talked her into trying a trike, but she didn't like the feel of the one front / two rear configuration. Then she saw the Spyder w/ 2 in the front and low slung profile. She loves it.

Still riding myself. Had a few warm days last week and yesterday which has made it easier, but I have enough gear to stay warm. So long as it is not raining heavy, snowing, or icy roads I am going to be in the saddle.

Hump Day Eve and Big Suck in the rear view. Now if I could just get around to putting up the Christmas tree.....

LOVE the Spyder! Despite trying five different rides, I could never get the 'counter-steering' thing down…this thing drives like a car…plus it has reverse!! I'm in heaven. Can't wait for spring!
Happy hump day!

Happy hump day!

Yeah, that reverse gear will make life easier. Trying to push a 600 lb Harley backwards can be a bit of a chore. I don't mind the counter steering so much, though I remember it being a pain decades ago when I first started riding.

Spring will be here before we know it. Start planning some rides now!

SISTER

Finally, it's FRIDAY!!
Holiday is two weeks away…I suppose I should start thinking about that.

SISTER

Saturday, December 6, 2014 8:19 PM (P)

It's a sloppy day in TN; but it's a SATURDAY!!
Lots to do and the time to do it…
Have a great day.

SISTER

Sunday, December 7, 2014 8:38 PM (P)

I'm making chicken Tikka Masala today…
Always looking for something different to cook.
Hope it turns out well!
Have a happy Sunday.

SISTER

Monday, December 8, 2014 6:42 PM (P)

Big Suck …and a sick dog. Not the best day ever.

BROWNCOAT1

Tuesday, December 9, 2014 1:52 AM (P)

Hope your dog feels better soon Sister.

Cloudy, cool day here today. One of those gray winter days that just seems to be depress you. If I going to be stuck inside at work I'd rather it be on a day like today than on a sunny, warm one.

Dog has a bad ear infection; he's also 11 years old and survived cancer…so I'm doing the best I can to keep him healthy!
Big suck in the rear view!

BROWNCOAT1

Tuesday, December 9, 2014 8:49 PM (P)

Hope his ear infection clears up soon.

Big Suck in the rear view, but it rained heavy here last night and rain continues all day today. Still a wet Tuesday is better than any Monday I suppose.

however, it IS hump day…so that's a good thing.

BROWNCOAT1

Wednesday, December 10, 2014 9:15 PM (P)

Hump Day at last! Sunny without a cloud in the sky. Don't even mind if it is cold. Roads were dry enough to ride this morning and that is just what I did too! Believe we are supposed to get up to 50 today and I will gladly take it.

Hope everyone is having a good week so far. We can see the weekend from here! Stay shiny people!

Whoo Hoo…..
FRIDAY EVE!!
Got the same weather as Browncoat1; clear and cold.
Can't ride the Spyder, though…still have holiday
shopping to get done so I need a bigger trunk.
Have a great day!

SISTER

Friday, December 12, 2014 7:02 PM (P)

22 degrees in TN this morning….but it's clear and bright…AND it's FRIDAY, of course!
Make it good day!

SISTER

Saturday, December 13, 2014 7:36 PM (P)

Hoping the sky clears for tonight's Geminid show!
Husband is installing new gas logs…hope we don't blow up!!
Have a great Saturday!

SISTER

Sunday, December 14, 2014 6:46 PM (P)

Ahhhhh..new gas log fire is awesome!
Stupid weather forecasters got it wrong…overcast all day yesterday, last night and this morning so no chance of seeing the Geminids…
But it's a good curl up by the fire and read a book day!

SISTER

Monday, December 15, 2014 6:23 PM (P)

Another Big Suck…
But I will be basking in memory of a great and productive weekend!
Hope you all had the same.

BROWNCOAT1

Monday, December 15, 2014 10:16 PM (P)

Good on the new gas logs and the whole not blowing up thing Sister. ;) My parents have a gas log fireplace which is pretty nice. Makes the whole family room warm in no time and if you're not careful will run you out of the room with the heat if left on too long.

Supposed to be in the high 50s and sunny all week so I am still in the saddle. I know I am on borrowed time, but I am loving every extra minute of it. Time to put my valiant steed away for two months is fast approaching and I will be fairly miserable without my wind therapy until Spring arrives. Well early March when I break it out again between rain showers. :)

Hope everyone had a good weekend and that you have your shopping for the holiday done so you can relax and enjoy the time with family.

Got a BUNCH of shopping done; don't' think I'll need to do anymore.
Now to get going on the baking!
Have a great Tuesday!

BROWNCOAT1

Tuesday, December 16, 2014 7:32 PM (P)

Ooooo! Baking! :)

Shopping is done, decorations are up, go on vacation for a week starting next Tuesday. Gorram the holiday snuck up fast this year. Supposed to get a drop in temperature starting this weekend moving into Christmas. Doubt there's much chance of a white Christmas, but I can always hope, right?

Stay shiny Troops!

Friday Eve for most, "Friday" for me since I am off tomorrow! ;)

Good on the hubby being off for 2 weeks. Should be some R & R for both of you during the holidays. I go on vacation Tuesday next week and come back on the 2nd.

Also good news on the hot tub being up and running next week. Can't have that bad boy down for too long. :)

…a second day of sunshine?
Very happy about that!

SISTER

Monday, December 22, 2014 7:00 PM (P)

Back to clouds for Big Suck.

BROWNCOAT1

Monday, December 22, 2014 9:15 PM (P)

We got sunshine on Sunday. Even if it was cool it was great to see that big, shining orb. We went to see "It's A Wonderful Life" at a nearby theatre. Truly a great experience as it is my all time favorite Christmas movie and I have never seen it on the big screen before. They also showed "White Christmas" and "Holiday Inn" earlier in December. Have it on my calendar for 2015 to catch them all next year!

Raining today. Supposed to rain all day and into tomorrow. I was pouting like a kid who got scolded when I woke up this morning and realized there would be no riding the steel horse today. *sighs*

Glad to hear you have family visiting Sister. Hope you have a wonderful visit with them.

Thanks Sister. They're calling for sunny skies and high 50s to low 60s Friday and Saturday so I should get some saddle time in while I am off.

Since tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I won't be on for awhile I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas now. I hope you all have a safe, festive holiday with loved ones. If you are traveling do so safely, fly under the Purplebellies radar, and stay shiny.

Hope you all had a great Christmas and a safe, festive holiday season. Now we are into 2015, ten years after the BDM (gorram but it doesn't seem like it was that long ago). Here's hoping that 2015 is a prosperous and wonderful year for us all.

Lots of rain yesterday but hoping to see a little sunshine today!

Icy cold start to Big Suck.
Back to normal routine after the holidays…
This might qualify as a Double Big Suck.

BROWNCOAT1

Tuesday, January 6, 2015 12:06 AM (P)

Not too terribly cold here this morning. Finally dried up yesterday and got up to 68. Last night it cooled to 36, but sunny this morning so I rode into work. High today is 48, but will cool to 26 tonight. Grasping desperately to these last few days of riding weather. :(

Hope everyone is doing well.

Supposed to get down to 28 tonight then a high of 32 on Wednesday. Tomorrow night we hit 10 degrees then a high of 28 on Thursday. I rode today and will do so tomorrow, but Thursday may be a tad too chilly. *sighs*

Ouch.

Guess the cold is here for a bit. Rather it was just cold and stayed that way until Spring instead of all of this back and forth. No wonder so many people in this are sick.

Stay warm Sister!
