I was born & raised in what now is a big city....back then it was pretty nice....only about 300k people....now there's over 2.3 million. Moving to a town w/ less than 2,000 people almost 7 yrs. ago now, was 1 of the smartest things I've ever done. Oregon is beautiful but there's just waaay too many people on the left side of the state. It's so much more peaceful over here in the NE corner.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 For the last few days the forecast for today have been much warmer and dry with some sunshine. It's raining and I blame Starmer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Perfect weather to go out in a leather jacket and just be out. Went up to the hill cafe for lunch, on the way there a road was partially washed out for a few meters, no issue really but impassable for cars. Then stopped for a coffee and a chat with my friends at the Dainese shop, then got groceries for dinner and now home. Must have been over 20° today, perfect but every field is still flooded and they say it’s going to rain again next week. Didn’t stop for pictures as I was soaking in the weather on the bike. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wales where i live was like that a few years ago, cheaper to pay the parking fine on the road and bloke the traffic into the hospital than pay the parking fine. They never told anybody but pay to veiw TV as well. so nobody had the TV on, people brought in radio's all playing differnt programs at the same time...the nurses went mental..and the doctors doing the rounds in the mornings.. So they stopped the lot...all free now in Wales. PS: get well soon Mrs Clive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold your ground mate, make sure the appropriate care package is put into place before she comes home. I won't comment on your life but my Brother in law is going through a similar thing with his 94 year old mother. She is in hospital and the moment and has been back home twice and had to go back in again, just pushing her out to soon because they need the bed.

Saul Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Well that was a shock, Shadow has just told me she wants to give up biking. Wants to get a car and learn to drive. I told her they are not mutually exclusive. We shall see, no rush to do anything. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully she would never get insurance for my car in the UK. She will have to get some sort of 1.0 litre car and then it won't be cheap. I don't blame her, she had a real health scare before Christmas and hasn't got her confidence back yet, hopefully she will. I will be keeping the bike around until October when she will have to reinsure it if she doesn't we will talk about it then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
