Actually Jim, I was being facetious (can that be the word of the day?) about the Mensa candidate remark.    ;)

Sure can C...   I was being truthful about some of the people I've met with very high IQs...

I know exactly what you mean. I work with a lot of people like that. Highly intelligent but only in a narrow range or field. Get outside of that range and they're lost.

So, the deal has been set.  I will no longer be Silverdammit!!! as I have struck a deal for my beloved C14.  Getting a KTM520 that has been Motarded out and a VFR750.  I am also changing my mind about what color is faster, it is obviously somewhere between red and orange, with a touch of white, blue, and black ;D  To help settle the speed discrepancies we will have a run off, I choose the location, you choose the bike you desire to ride 8)

4 new records were set last night on my two year old weather station.

lowest temp. -10f
lowest wind chill. -25f
lowest apparent temp. -20f
lowest dew point.  -22f

The good news is that it warmed up overnight, it's -5f now.

My sister-in-law makes the BEST pies I have ever had! Two apple pies for Christmas. Having a piece right now. Always thought my mother made a great pie, but nope! Not compared to these. And I get a New York style cheesecake with a shortbread crust for my birthday (Sunday). Mmmmm... ;D
