Dinner was great. Damon and Jenn and the kids are good. Said to say "Hello!"
Chuck, so far, Damon has paid the deposit, so he'll be contacting you soon for your share.

Russ, what bars are on yours? Stock? The new seat is, well, a seat. No frills, which is perfect. Super comfortable. I feel like bars could be a few inches higher though.

Pizza at my daughter's house tonight. The addition is coming along nicely now, can see what it's going to look like. First time I've seen her Palisade next to the new Expedition. Funny, I thought the Palisade was a large car, sure didn't look like it next to the Ford.




I didn't know the new kitchen countertop was going to be a monster of solid stone. SIL said it took 4 men to carry it in. They took the wall out between the kitchen and living room, so the backside of the counter is like a breakfast bar. Or just a bar. The youngest that won't youngest in a week or two is sitting at it here before he tipped the chair over. Lucky that wasn't a ceramic tile floor... Still a lot to finish in the new kitchen.



Was 10 below when I got home. Lot stiffer ride for the first few miles when it's that cold.

Chris, I’m looking at these . I think they’ll be just right for me.

10” chrome for me. That keeps your hands just at the top of the fairing wings.

Playing with where my hands were and where they wanted to be, assuming the stock bars are 8in, I think 12 is about where I want them. I love the 14s on the bones, but this is different and I want my hands lower than my shoulders.

I'm looking at these:

Hill County Custom Cycle is relatively close to me and I'm buddies with one of the guys that works there so I get good deals. I'd pay less than that price shown. I'll ride up and see if 10 or 12 is going to be best. I think those are simple bolt ons, no wires or cables needed.
