Took a scooter to work today!
The Sand Hill Cranes are flying about by the hundreds, circling and looking for thermos, heading north; not a cloud in the sky its as blue as can be, able to see for hundreds of miles – life is good again.

I'm picking out a thermal for you,
Not an ordinary thermal for you,
But the extra best thermal that you can buy...

Awesome! So some of the indicator populations are starting to migrate again? :clap: I'll be on the lookout down here when I'm not watching the road or stuck in my cave of a studio. :D Much as I love winter, I've about had it with roads that aren't scooter-able. :x

Not to hijack, but Krusty, I'm liking the lid on your bottle. What brand is that?



Oh, and we are still dead in the middle of winter here. It is beginning to thaw but we literally got feet of snow the last few weeks, so it is going to take a while before my driveway is even close to clean enough to consider a ride. ( I ran out of places to put the snow)

I've been in love with the weather this week... For some bizarre reason its suddenly been sunny and 60 in Portland. All the plants are flowering, everyone is outside.... I've been tuning up and upgrading again.... All the signs that summer is on it's way! :P

Sounds like North Florida weather. Windy and in the 30s in the morning, often up to the 60s later in the day. Much cooler this year, high temps lately in the 40s and 50s until the last couple days.

Actually, the only thing that gets me through this time of year (in terms of riding) is living vicariously through the rest of you. I like snow, but I miss my scooter, and my motorcycle, and seeing the ground. :)

I'll take an extra spin around the city tomorrow just for you then ;)

Tomorrow is supposed to be the last sunny day for a while before going back to rain and 30's. :(

Ohh, I ride in the rain, at night, and in the rain at night all the time. I just got spoiled by a weekend that felt like spring and don't want to go back to cold and rainy yet.

It's "ROHO" by Thermos. I like it a lot! It's a bit too tall for the front compartment of the Buddy, especially with the Gen-U-Bin. Otherwise I keep it in my seat and it will fit nicely in the P200 glovebox. The lid is awesome, it can easily be opened and closed with one hand.... I got it @ Target.

Would it still be too tall if you removed the GEN-U-BIN's medium drink holder insert
and just used the opening to keep it upright?
