Trying to squeeze any kind of road time before the harsh winter sets in. Tuesday the 23 October looked as good as any. Couple problems...1) getting home at midnite usually don't go to bed till 3am and while it was suppose to reach 60 by mid day that means it'll be no more then 35-36 degrees or even less in the morning.
