Sounds like fun. We we go, I'll keep my helmet on though.

I played well for 7 holes. Too bad I was playing 9 holes. The beer afterward made it all better. Obviously I am better at beer than golf.

This wasn't in the forecast - blowing sn*w this morning. It stuck on pavement for a little while, but it's almost all gone now. Get a break for a couple days in the low 40s and then it doesn't go back in the refridgerator, it heads for the freezer. Guess I can't complain, been one of the latest years to actually get cold, and usually have sn*w cover by now.

Burned my bridges for riding till next whenever, dropped insurance on the bikes. They're too old to be worth much anyway. My van had a major electrical issue this week, it's done, need to have the VA organization here come pick it up. One tank of gas in two years, that thing sure was economical.

Afternoon check in.

VA this morning for acupuncture.

Got a chest X-ray done also. X-ray is normal despite some breathing issues leftover from COVID.

More tests recommended if breathing issues continue.

I have a nice ramp but I'm afraid to use it with a Harley. Isn't wide enough to walk on it with a bike. Works for getting one of the smaller ones in the house, though.

Lou, the teachers sure know how to call attention to themselves in Paso Robles.

Can you apply elsewhere Bill? It sounds like there's a shortage and some are paying top dollar for drivers.

That sucks Rick. A good friend has lingering breathing difficulty from COVID as well. No fun I'm sure. I hope you get past it.
