Yup - dark and early. Flight departs at 7:30 AM. Cheryl made sure to pack enough luggage to make 1st Class actually worth it.

Back from golf. I worked on applying the lesson I took last week. It will take some time. I am having to think about it too much at this point. Once I get where I just do it, I think it will be better. At least that is what the instructor told me and it makes sense.

An arborist is coming by at 10 to look at one of the big oaks out front. I think it may have to come down. I hate it but the water oaks when they get as old and big as this one usually start to hollow out and become precarious. I do not want it to fall on the house. We will see what he says but his assessment from the pics was not good. It actually looks fine to me and I called it because where the truck splits into two trucks there is a pocket that holds water. I was thinking it could be plugged but apparently he thinks it may be at the end of the road. It is huge and I suspect at least 40 years old.

While I liked the 103( 2015 Limited), my water pump went out on it. The fans were always running after the bike was shut off. Just something to think about when you're looking at it. I researched the water pump issue on the 103 here and it seems HD got a bad batch from their supplier and have replaced several but not enough to justify a recall.

That bike left me stranded 3 times.
