2025: What did you do to/with your NC700/NC750 today?

[the Ferret]

They called for massive storms and tornadoes and hail for us last night... got people all worried... we had some sprinkles, a bit of thunder and lightning...
A tornado did touch down about 45 minutes north of me, have not heard yet if there was any damage.

I'm in the Mississippi river valley, and here in La Crosse we have a valley to the west and one to the east that all meet and it seems that most storms get filtered off to the north or south around us.

The two highlighted areas are big valleys that spur off of the main north south river valley.

Yea, the weather people sure like to scare the bejesus out of people with worst case scenarios. Whether its rain or snow or heat or wind. Being a daily rider I'm pretty much a weather watching nut, TV, PC, phone and just staring up at the sky lol. Sometimes they are right, most times it seems they are very wrong, at least locally for us. Right now @ 4:35 pm the early news has us under a severe T-storm warning and its 77 degrees and sunny out, sky is blue and white clouds.

Another beautiful snow free day here in SE Pennsylvania. I headed out west for an all day ride making a loop through the Amish, Mennonite, and Moravian areas in Berks and Lancaster counties. Rode past two of the oldest taverns in the area. Shanks Tavern, 1814, the oldest in Pennsylvania and Bube's Brewery, 1867. What a nice day to be out and about. Rain is forecasted for six of the next 7 days. Getting the yard work done today before the rain moves in. 186 miles for the day.

Day 97.... beat the rain home by 15 minutes. yea! Finished working out a new loop today, which included 5 roads I don't normally ride which turned out to be real nice roads. From the end of my driveway, it's only 36 miles long, but I counted 302 curves in the loop. Fun loop! Anyhow 73 degrees and overcast for today's ride.

Added a Shad SH45 top box, took about a month and a half to get it in. I bought it on ebay from Shad in Miami as a shelf model. So I got it for $100 but then waited that long for them to get the rack mount. And then once they shipped it all, they forgot the mounting plate... All good now and steep discount on all of it.

Day 106 ... a pretty day 73 degrees and sunny for today's 55-mile ride.
