Winter Warmup
finally able to get the Tiger onto the road today. Temperatures in the low fifties and blue blue heavens. The Lake echoed a classic Caribbean azure along the North Shore. New knobbly tires and clear tall windscreen were a treat. Short mulch path off road was transverse with ease.

Look skyward!
Blurb from the back of the VHS box: “After a rare comet sighting, teen sisters Regina (Catherine Mary Stewart) and Samantha (Kelli Maroney) find that they’re among the only survivors of a zombie attack. The girls partner with another survivor, Hector (Robert Beltran), but as they try to avoid the zombies, they’re sought by scientists who want to experiment on their bodies in the hope of finding an antidote. Dodging both the doctors and the undead, they keep moving in the hope that they can continue to stay alive.” A Triumph motorcycle is the vehicle of choice for the protagonists.
