196 days to the Ride


Couldn't sleep; more riding gear arrived; snowing hard in Michigan and other random thoughts. Got a lot going on in my life right now, combination of work and the trip to Ghana in January so I thought I'd do a little "mind dump" here. The day started out at "Oh Dark Ugly aka 0300" with a walk with my favorite Scottie around the snow covered neighborhood. It's actually pretty out that time of day and I've learned how to do it without breaking my leg. Then I come in to check my e-mail and this photo is what I find. I hope we won't have to resort to this kind of road service but you never know. I wonder if that works on a fuel injected bike?
Merry Christmas shipmates, Marines, Air Force and Army this ride is going to be an adventure.

  1. Reveille at 0300?? Ahhh mate you're getting older and this gets to be about the norm. My lab, jessie, and I like those early morning walks.
    Your furniture looks great. Do you have some fold-up canvas camp chairs? I've got a couple but need to refresh them as the saltwater from surf fishing has taken its toll on the metal parts.
    Test fired the GPS and dog-gone if it doesn't bring you right in the front door. It recovers itself real nice if you try and lead it astray by taking an off routine course.... we won't need no sticking QM..:))))
    2'' ball is okay..no problem. My hitch has interchangeable balls..what will they think of next?

  2. I've got 3 camp chairs that are fabric and fiberglass. I'm sure we can get a few more. I'm thinking of sleeping out in the snow in that military sleeping system. Supposed to be good down to -20 F

  3. I'd take their word for it. If its that cold I'll be looking for a Holiday Inn.
    You keep on and Pat will be looking to have you committed some where.

  4. She looked into that and they all declined; told her I was beyond salvaging. She'd kick me to the curb but we have recycling here and she's afraid she'd just get me back.
