That's what Johnny Mathis was singing as we went over the top of the Energy Loop: Eccles Canyon National Scenic Byway just for fun yesterday, Pepe and me. Over 9,000 feet elevation. 160+ miles. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zpLRCyx7Ro

Cant wait till you throw a couple cases of 'shine'

I sure love your adventurous spirit Professor. What, no picture of Pepe ?

Like to look at it but can't stand the thought of having to move it.
Nice presentation and with Johnny Mathis in the background, 'mellow' fits perfectly.

Amazing pics as always. I wouldn't mind being there myself (for a day or two anyway). It's 2 in the arfternoon and around 85F here, (27C)clear skies, not even a slight breeze. I just quit workin on the ford cos I need a cold beer. Sometimes a guy can get a little TOO much sun... That snow looked spectacular professor!

Was going to go to American car day today but flagged it to dig a footing for mowing strip on a 20m fence I'm building. Just finished it, its into the 20s (C) here now and I've just downed a cold beer.....bloody great and I'm knackered. You need to write that book Professor the adventures of yourself, Pepe & Henry would make a great read.
