    12' F and a boat load of black ice all over the roads took the truck and my running equipment. If I cant run a bike I'll run my legs! Tis the season to loose 20lbs HAHAHA.

    I did ride yesterday for a couple of hours after work yielding 100 miles on the TUX which will soon be receiving studs! It was miserable yesterday, 33' Soaking rains and snow... My days are numbered for this season.

                  Warmed up a bit today, IMG_20181115_125855222.jpg27? when I left. Laundry is in the back pack and groceries in the saddlebags. No that's not a calm, pristine lake. It's frozen over!

                    Fantastic afternoon to explore some more of the New Mexico desert.



                    I got my hands on a real camera. Not sure really how to use it to it's full potential, but I'm pleased so far.

                        The camera is a Cannon T6 Rebel. From what I've read, just a step above smart phone photo capability. Truth be told, I just borrowed it to try it out. My dad purchased it but doesn't use it very often.

                          that's a nice shot! I don't know how you dare risk that beautiful bike up there! but I beg to differ- it's a BIG step above smartphones..the lense, the huge sensor....

                            Kinda looks worse than it was. Riding to that spot and out wasn't that bad. Still, yah I see what you mean.


                            Thanks for liking the photo guys.

                              WOW! huge improvement with the new borrowed camera. I've always been intrigued by your Southwest imagery, but the new camera takes it to a new level. Love the clarity, selective focus, and depth of field.

                                One thing it'll do that a phone or most point and shoots won't do is controlling depth of field (DOF). Looks like you got that one figured out. Great shoot.
