Frannie is enjoying the 64° temps in the afternoon sun.
I’ll be cracking open this Old Overholt 12-yr Rye Whiskey that I picked up yesterday and sitting out in the driveway.

Frannie the Corgi has a new buddy named Boomer, and they love tearing up the turf chasing each other around.
Scruffy the Schnauzer likes to be a part of the action too.

It was a great weekend to cruise down to Ft. Myers, FL to the Harley dealership.
A friend traded in his sport bike for a “new” 2024 Road Glide Ultra.
We put on just over 190 miles in the mid-80° temps (while much of the country is shut down with shitty weather).

My sister’s face when I texted her and said the air temp was 83°F and the water temp was 86°F (while the real temp in Iowa is -4°F and ISU canceled school today).

We think leaving Iowa for the Winter was an excellent choice.
Currently sitting in a driveway having the last of our “Don’t Call Me Shirley” sour, and it’s 78° with a light breeze.
Des Moines is 28° with single digit wind chill, and that’s the warmest it will be for the next 10 days.

Motorcycle ride is done for the day.

I’m trying a new bourbon tonight.
I bought this Blue Bolt 248 Birthday Series Bourbon Finished In Sherry Cask at a local Winn-Dixie 50% off. It was the last bottle of this 122 proof, barrel proof bourbon.
Their mission is to honor the culture and achievements of those who serve the Marine Corps.

Zoey is pretty far off the trail (for her, anyway).
It’s cooler than normal in Florida, but she is liking this weather much better than she would the light dusting of snow and the -13° wind chill back at home.
Getting ready for an afternoon motorcycle ride…

I had to bring my pickup in for service today - probably front wheel bearings.
Grabbed a quick lunch of tacos al pastor at a taco truck, and doing some #Bourbonhunting to kill time.
Pick flamingos on the big toes to celebrate the warm weather.

I had a good Saturday. My friend and I got a 115 mile motorcycle ride done, including lunch at the Nav-a-gator restaurant near Port Charlotte, FL.
Then relaxed with a beer by the pool and sunset walk with the three dogs.

I had to take my e-bike into a local bike shop in here in FL. The ride to FL in the back of the pickup vibrated something loose in the front forks. I didn't bring tools to fix it.
The shop made the necessary adjustment for $10, and then I was ready to ride.

This is the way to spend winter days - warm temps, deciduous trees that still have leaves on the branches, and still-green grass.
FYI, the pool is too cool to swim in, or I’d be there.
Soon, motorcycle riding!

I drove to Nebraska today to visit my uncle. He just moved into a nursing home. He had been falling a lot, and it was getting to be unsafe for him to be at home.
He was very happy to see me, and we chatted for a couple of hours. I also brought him a copy of his book that we recently published.

Milestone mileage on the 2012 RAM diesel pickup today - 200,000 miles. I bought this brand new almost exactly 13 years ago.
It’s due for an oil change and tire rotation, then it will be time to hit the road for some Winter retirement travel.

Capping off the night with a Russell's Reserve 15-yr bourbon.
