I was going to meet up with RickD today but I couldn't get someone to watch the dogs that long so I ended up going to Oklahoma to visit my parents and drop off some books to my Mom - she loves to read and has developed a liking for Dean Koontz novels.
It was 45 degrees when I left and it has been very warm in the Dallas area recently so I just wore a long sleeve shirt, gerbing liner (left hook-up at home), jacket and over pants.
Well, when I hit the border it was 28 degrees. I left my electrical hookup to my jacket at home as I thought it was just gonna get warmer. This after posting what to wear for cold weather riding....
It's only 200 miles to where my parents live in southeast Oklahoma and the sun was coming up, I left at 6am, so it finally started warming up.
A quick visit with my folks and then back on the road to get out of the way of all the drunks, I hope I didn't offend any drunks here, and back home.
About 430 miles total for my last ride of 2005.
Hope everyone had a chance to get in a final trip.
