[QUOTE="Morecowbell, post: 1313911, member: 27150"] I agree with that 100%. I tip a minimum of 20% because I'm lazy and it's easier to do the math that way. Even if the service is sub-par, I'll still tip 15%. But if the staff does a good job and has a great attitude (or she's really cute), I'm quite happy to spend a little extra. It might help create good karma, which I always need when out on a road trip. After this trip, I was quite tired of seeing all the white stuff. It's pretty when you see it on the nearby mountains, but it sucks when it's laying across the road impeding our forward progress. And to think our initial plan was to stay low and avoid the snow...that didn't work out as well as we had hoped. I was surprised at the low snow elevations in a few areas. Hey Jordan! Yeah, eventually you'll want to get some waterproof gloves. It only took me 20 years to finally figure that out. All these years I've just used one pair of gloves year 'round, adding glove liners and grip heat when needed. But last fall riding in Montana in 37 degree rain with soaked gloves, and this last trip really pushed me over the edge. I just spent $160 on some Alpinestars WR-3 Gore-Tex gloves. I might only wear them a few times per year, but if they keep my hands dry/warm, it'll be money well spent. Yeah, I finally got the pork chop a few days after getting home. It was good, but just not the same as after a 500+ mile day while out on tour. [/QUOTE]
