Autumn is close

It hasn't reached 90 degrees since Sunday. Sure the trees still have all their leaves, the local kids just started school, and there isn't any snow on the mountains yet, but I can feel it. The time of the year where I am excited about skiing and riding at the same time. Winter is just around the corner, and Summer is a horrible memory in the past. No more sweltering hot days.
I can ride without dripping sweat.
Honestly riding in 95+ degree heat is not pleasant. Leather does not breathe that well, even mesh is hot. I tend to carry a half gallon of water on days when the temperatures soar to new heights.
Sure I can't ride as much in the winter because of snow...but, when it is 20 degrees and hasn't snowed in three days, you will see me. You will look at me as if I am insane. I am not insane, I am a motorcyclist.

Small spaces

This afternoon I adjusted the valves on my motorcycle...I have to say, my fingers hurt. The actual adjustment was a 5 minute ordeal, the annoying part is getting the four, yes I said four, valve covers off the engine. Well, actually, three are a pain in the ass, the fourth is easy.
If I was ten years old,it would have been easier...but it is done.

I have no title...

Yes it is still hot, but there is a light at the end of this long hot summer...it is almost over...only three and a half months until ski season.
Can I just fast forward instead?
