Where Shall we Meet for Coffee on Sunday?

[Steve G.]

  Time to wake up the Messerschmitt. Where we all headed?

[Wooden Shoe]

Lets go to the Fort..

[Steve G.]

Yup

[Steve G.]

  Showing up early in the morning. Stuff to look after, so gonna be there just after 8am. Car alarms should be worried.

[Wheels]

I think it is looking like Timmies on 96th again tomorrow unless someone has a better idea

[Steve G.]

   I’m afraid I’m in full dog sitting shift. If I can get away I’ll be at that Timmy’s, but it’s 50/50 right now. I’m fully expecting power outages here, township does a pitiful job of keeping power lines clear.

Tim's works for me, see ya in the AM

At coffee this morning we briefly touched on cruise control and fuel consumption.  Is it better or worse for consumption?   From my interweb research…it depends. 

In my own real world observations…maybe… either way.  In any case, for myself, the difference in fuel consumption, with or without cruise control is negligible. 

I use cruise control on my car and truck very often.  It makes it so easy to maintain velocity while allowing a bit more brain power for other driving anticipations. 

I will say, electronic cruise control on a motorcycle is a game changer.  If you’re on a trip (this is where cruise really changes the experience) is where it really shines.  I love it.  The small amount of brain power that it takes to manually maintain velocity can be diverted to truly immersing in the ride.  I don’t care at all that maybe I’d get 5.0 lt/100km vs 5.1 lt/100km fuel consumption. 

My 2 cents worth.

[Steve G.]

  Electrical interventions.  Never had cruise control on a bike, can’t comment. Cruise on my truck has been a game changer for my back injury, allowing me to retract my right leg back, vastly reducing back pain.
 Driving my sisters X3 Beemer I have to say for me there is a limit. The lane departure steering shudder drives me nuts, I will never use that as an option. I drive like I ride, I shorten the corner , I straighten the corner, involving going over stupidly placed lines.

[Steve G.]

  What’s the word lads?

[Galactica]

It won’t be an “outside” day.  Tim’s?

[Steve G.]

  Yeah, rain looks 50% tomorrow morning. Tims. Big Table away from the bible thumpers.
 I might ride to Tims,,,,even if it rains,,,,,cause I need mental stimulation.

[Galactica]

Might bring a guest.

[Wheels]

Looks like I will need to skip out this week as having a sleepover with grandkids this weekend. 
Duties prevail today.
