I got a new seat and an new light/front plate for the KLX 300R.

It brings a tear to my eye when I see that picture.

I cried.

My sister still lives in the same house in Colorado Springs. When I spent a couple of nights there last month, for the first time since March 2020, they let me park my Pilot in the garage.

I'm the opposite of you when it comes to weather. It's a cloudy and breezy 84° with 29% humidity here in Loveland, Colorado. I'll finally get my lawns mowed today. I've been waiting for a cooler day when I wasn't wiped out after riding my ElliptiGO.

We had temps close to 90 here. I'm not a fan. We did manage a walk near the water, but it was still hotter than I like. A couple warm days, then a cool off. This is warmer weather than we usually have this time of year.

Patricia, you do the lawn mowing? I have zero interest in that activity these days.

84 with low humidity is perfect , I can tolerate high heat and humidity but the perfect temp IMO is around 80 degrees.

Yes, I do, with a Honda mower, naturally. The grass has been growing fast this year due to the extra rain we've had. I did pay my neighbor to mow and trim when I first moved here but I decided to save some money in the long run and do it myself. It wouldn't be bad if the lawns were flat but they both have a bit of a hill and that's work even with a power mower.

Okay. It always starts. After the first winter it didn't run well and that's when I learned about really getting out all the gas on the last mow and putting some good gas in it to run it out again. I had to get it worked on and I became educated about living where there's a real winter, unlike southern California's winters.

LOL Patty I was going to ask if you had a Honda mower. Hot here, mid 90's with high humidity today. It cools off at night I took the S to work last night and driving home top down at 12:30 it had cooled off. My little house is well insulated so I open the windows at night and let the cool air in and then shut them in the morning.
