Recap

It wasn't too bad of a summer. One wreck, two broken ribs Several states and up till surgery, which by the way SUCKS, 4437 miles. Missed Bikes, Blues & Bar B Que. Finally back in the saddle today. Only get to go short distances, but hey, a rides a ride. Everybody on a bike is drifting south for the winter... If I can get it together to make the 712 miles I'm going to winter in San Marcos at the lovely 3 sisters studios. All in all, I guess it wasn't too bad of a summer for a broken down old guy on a motorcycle.... Could have been a lot worse.

Road test. ..

Adventuring 

Professionally..... Today I was lucky enough to get to spend some time at the Cline Motor Works with the head of the R&D lab. Usually I come away from these visits with something new to road test. Today was no exception.

Made a short ride this evening to go get dinner with a friend.  The clouds started changing and building pretty much as soon as we got on the road.
 By the time we had eaten everything was turning dark and you could smell the rain in the air.
We headed back and ran a rather quick pace to keep ahead of the rain. It worked for the first twenty miles. We got into high winds and some serious lightening strikes and the rain for the last six miles. I guess you could say that we fought the good fight and still ended up soaked.

When I travel I meet all kinds of people. gas stations and convenience stores and truck stops, most all are friendly and a lot of them become good friends. Here are two of my favorite "wild wimmin." ...... "Tater" & "Rockstar." (nicknames I give them fit as far as I'm concerned...all that matters.) Tater on the right I watched grow up. Shes been my buddy for ever. Rockstar I met this summer. Love her to  pieces, like she was cornbread or something... both of the gals are so full of energy and life ya cant help but be in a good mood around them. It is scary though, their personalities and everything, they could be sisters.

Still on the road... Earlier today I had a brief audience with the "mayorette", the new Chief of Police and some hooligan on a "motorsickle" that came loudly cruising through. It was generally agreed, he had a long way to go to turn that little metric into a Harley, just cutting the mufflers off didn't quite do it.

Still on the road.... At the end of a long hot day of several hundred miles, I rolled back into town to a site that springs hope eternal.... Louis and "Sir" Ho Dawg had all the current world problems mostly solved. Yes! We can all sleep good tonight....

Still on the road... (barely) Another episode of Adventuring Professionally. ... I ran out of one of the key herbs that's keeping me, more or less kicking these days. None of the places that I tried that does herbs, roots,gums, barks and berries carries the stuff I'm using. I was actually told "we only carry the popular stuff." A friend suggested trying (as he put it) a "bug hugger" grocery store. He was right. They even have the weird stuff. So, two things. 1) don't get something terminally wrong with ya and b) don't count out the bug huggers.
