Lunchtime StanBy from the not-so-famous but long lived Jo-Ed’s Bomber sandwich shoppe in Arlington, TX. I used to come here with my Dad when I was in high school. Good sammiches.

Some days one should just go back to bed. Bad cold, and not thinking clearly today.
Headed home for lunch and snowing like crazy so I back into the left side of my 2-stall garage (because I exit the car toward the garage middle).
Completely forgot bike is there from last Sunday. Snow covered sensors on the car don't go off. Knock the bike over pretty good.
Thank God for bag guards and front engine guards as they protected the majority of the bike. The cheap tour pack took the biggest hit, scratched on back side but did not crack. Go figure.
Also bent clutch lever and small ding in rear fender. Small scratches on the bag guard and front highway peg mount. Front wheel stayed in the chock and chock went over with the bike, so I'll have to check for any bends in the front rim.
Certainly could have been worse so I consider myself lucky.

Damn Stan.......that sucks. Sorry about the bike but yeah, it happens to the best of us. especially when you have a cold. I hope you feel better soon. I prescribe Chicken soup with Asian noodles, cilantro, and jalapenos.

Afternoon Woods! Just north of Waco, about 100 miles from our hotel for the night. Uneventful traveling so far
