Thanksgiving Day

It was only last Sunday, four days ago, that I rode to Bucksport and beyond on the NT named Scarlet. Highs were in the mid-fifties and it was sunny, barely a cloud in the sky. I took the back roads which is now my favorite way to get there from Brewer. As I prepared to head for home, I stopped at the Bucksport Dunkin Donut shop for two pumpkin donuts, perfect for an afternoon snack for me and my sweetie.


I'm glad I took that ride. Yesterday we got our first serious winter storm. Sure we got snow at Halloween, but it was only an inch or so and it was gone in a day or two. Yesterdays storm brought eight to ten inches. As the road surfaces were still warm, there was a lot of melting at the bottom and the driving was treacherous. Needless to say, Scarlet didn't make it out of the garage, and unfortunately probably won't for four months or so.

It's that time of year when there is no golf, no fishing and worst of all no rides on Scarlet. Sounds like time for indoor projects.
