Somehow I will have to manage to be a very good and well behaved boy . .....ALLLL day Sunday. . . . .I think I can ....I think I can. . . . Man that is going to be a vvvvvvery long Sunday

Ok, so my wife has been experimenting with baking. She has some how come by a reciepe for a cheese cake that is great ( sorry none left). Now I am not saying it is going to give Lonna a run for her money, but it sure does a fine job of easing the pain of having to loose all those yummy cheese cakes to them there Texans

I agree with the Idea of posing as a women and meeting the SOB. Of course there is a down side. I don't know what you would do if after meeting you the SOB fell head over heals in love with you.

CTC here I come

Saturday is for sure with early start. I am still working on Monday for a second ride. There is a glimmer that if I play this right Marita may just be up for a ride Monday. Which of course means I get to ride again.

Ok! 1st I have friday off so I am all set for an early start and a good long run Saturday. 2nd from the sounds of things my expectations are a little high and Algonquin parks leaf colour ship has sailed. 3rd Sounds like Marcarls route is a viable compromise. Unless someone has a better route. So who is in?.

Playing around with maps This is sort of what I came up with. It seems interesting enough but I haven't been up these roads in years, therefore I am still open to suggestions. I prefer to avoid using the 400 series hwy's unless I have to. Largely because for me they tend to make me think of work too much. crazy as it may sound. The only thing that has become a definite came about with my wifes kind assistance "IF YOUR GONNA BE GONE ALL DAY IT BETTER BE SAT". She works saturday's. sunday is big familly dinner. Mon is, well what can I say she wants us to spend time together. Which if I am lucky could include another ride but it would be a shorter one. Oh and I beleive I my have managed to get friday off so I can get up early saturday.

Evan! Check out this thread http://venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=60487 would love any input you may have.

My heart is still set on doing the Muskoka ride on Sat ( and I suspect the boss may suddenly come up with other plans since it will be her day off). I am afraid If I leave it until Monday something might come up and I would end up missing the boat altogether and going by what Evan just reported the leaves are dropping fast up that way. So anyone interested could either meet up at my place or somewhere on route. I am currantly not sure of which is the best route but I plan on avoiding major highways if possible and try to grab the more scenic route. As far as that goes suggested routes are more than welcome, Since it has been many years since I have been up that way.

I was thinking saturday with monday as a possible backup plan or a even a second ride ...maybe

If you put the voltmeter directly on the battery and it drops to 8.5 volts then you have one of two possible issues either the battery is weak or the starter is drawing heavy as in bad starter. load test the battery if it passes a load test the starter is at fault if it fails the battery is at fault. If however the engine barely cranks over and the voltage hardly drops at all then you need to check your wiring for bad, loose or dirty connections.

Just checked two weather sites for this weekend and it is looking pretty good. I would definitly be up for a ride. My personal preference would be to take a backroads ride in the direction of Algonquin Park.

Better yet let the guy in front of you, who doesen't want the dear hit it. That way you get the dear and no damage to your own vehicle.

While I fully understand their reasoning, I can't help feeling that agreeing with it, just brings us down to their (westboro baptist church's) level and I like to believe that the rest of us, as human beings, are well above those morons.
