"Just Ride" has been my life story since Covid hit this spring.
I've refused to stay in the house, but I've always ridden safely.
There was an interruption a few days ago, 3 inches of snow, but its all melted now, and the forecast is kinda hard to believe, for November in Central New York:

I forgot who it was who gave me the idea to go to MickeyD's for coffee and Chocolate chip cookies (Marty in Georgia?),
but it has become a tradition for me.
Today I chose the FJR to ride, as it hasnt seen many miles recently. The XS's will all have their turn this week.
Went to the local McD's in Lafayette which is undergoing renovations, so I had to go thru the drive through.
Placed my order and announced that I will be parking and walking over to the pickup window to get the coffee.
"No, you can't" was the response. "Store Policy"
"You could get runover by a car"
There was no one else in line
, but rather than argue the policy, I managed to balance the cup on the tank, thanks to a convenient lip on
the filler.

Then off to Pompey, where I stopped on scenic Cemetery Road in an affluent, pristine suburban neighborhood where one lone resident has grown old cars in his yard rather than the more traditional flowers . I love this place, and his willingness to be a bit different; he mows around them, maybe 30 in all.

There is an orange Dodge Demon in there. Maybe you can pick it out.
About 10 miles west of Pompey on Clark Hollow Rd. is a guy who built an unusual addition to his house:

Every year I stop by to chat with him, the angle of inclination seems to have increased a bit, but I never mention it
