It's back...

 

What passes for winter here in the Tropical Tip.  I got in one walk today, but Rufus has stayed inside... he does not like the north wind blowing on his hind end.  Yes, he has a cushy life.

There is snow in the Austin area right now.  That is 350 miles from our storage unit (which is about an hour from the house).  The plan is still the plan.  There's a plan?  Yep.  There's a new tire and a speed ring with my name on it at the Vespa dealer there.  A speed ring?  Well, it does add about 5 mph to the top end, but the most important thing is it makes the speedometer more accurate.  Vespas seem to show 8 to 10% optimistic on the speedometer (my previous Vespa was the same).  This ring on the rear wheel (where the speed is read) corrects that.

Hopefully, the weather will improve, but I'm ready for an actual (short) road trip.
