Today's ride started out to be a good one. The weather was perfect for putting on the miles.  Moderate temperatures always help.
  I have been working out all the little kinks in Clementine since I got her back from Texas. Today was going to be a major test run of about three hundred miles. Things didn't go my way so my test run was only to work. But what a ride it was....  The biggest starter issue seems to be all worked out and it's more or less leaving me with a feeling of "yeah it's going to work when I want to go." 
 The speedo and all the other little gremlins seem to finally be holding together. So a couple of oil weep issues and we'll totally be in business.
  Maybe a ride tomorrow will work out?

So far the summer has been really good.

 The weather has been just about perfect for riding.
 Mostly my rides have all been local but fun just the same. As I have said before there is a lot to be said for riding to do your grocery shopping or buying a new weed whacker. The list of errands to run is endless and the roads here are just the right mix of hills and curves.
  Also, I've been spending quite a bit of time working closely with the new boss on new projects and am actually getting a few things done. I'm even considering a new ride. Maybe something large and obnoxious. .. like a Goldwing bobber?
  My kickstart training class is in full swing. Most don't get it but I'm trying to keep an almost lost art alive. It's a simple program. You come by my house in the morning before I go to work and kick on Miss Tilley until she fires up. I come out and pat you on the back and let you know what a wonderful job you've done. This class is especially effective for me in the winter. So if you think you'd like to learn an almost art, we still have openings. .. operator's are standing by to take your call.
 Tomorrow is going be a productive day.  Heading out to get the doctoring process restarted and take a few pictures along the way. It's supposed to be a grand day with the promise of sunny miles.

 Catch ya on the road

After spending a few weeks on rearranging things at the house and getting Clementine back home I'm about ready to get back to riding around as per usual.
 I just got word that my boss crashed her bike. Apparently a car pulled out in front of her. She's OK and now fully understands the term "road rash."
All in all, I think it's going to be a great summer
