Touchdown, Speculator! Update 1/2/18
Day off meant riding. But after Sunday’s frozen tundra ride, I was going to wait until the temperature at least got to zero. Since the day started at -16*F, that was going to take a bit of time. So, I washed a huge stack of dishes to help pass the time. I’m sure my daughter […]
