You may be excused before you have an accident.

Stan, would you be surprised to learn that there are Afghanis crawling all over this place? All carrying little Red Cross bags and spending our hard earned dollars?

I'd probably take the mom as well.

Off to the Toyota dealership. They finally have a 2021 that meets our spec. About 1k over MSRP because of the stupid add ons that are not as ons because they all have that crap. No I don't want a $90 crime exhaust tip, rubber floor mats and luggage bars on the roof but oh well.

Luggage bars are handy for traveling with Aunt Edna.

For me solo the ride can be harsh at times. With Tanya on the back it flat out sucks. I've never been able to invest in suspension, being the other bike is a Springer. So I'm interested myself.

Useful for dogs, too. Just ask Mitt Romney.

Trying not to use any F bombs. Hornet. Under the waste band of my underpants, don't know how he managed to get there, espescially without me noticing. Have had bee stings before but never a hornet or wasp. This little fu bastard really hurt, and still pretty uncomfortable a couple hours later. Immediately knew something serious was going on and hammered it before seeing what it was, thought limiting the damage was more important than any mess squashing it might make (hornets don't squash easy anyway, but it still died). Was string trimming around some tree trunks before mowing, but I lost interest in any further physical activity right away. Decided having some ibruprophen and benadryl with a good dose of lazy for the rest of the day wood be better. Did find the fu nest and gave it a good shot of hornet/wasp spray I had left over from several years ago, hope it still works.
