In Green River,WY having a new rear tire mounted on the bike. I just had this thing serviced a little over 2K ago and the shop said nothing about my tire. Just before leaving I was sick with CoVID and didn’t really look it over that hard. Today I was BSing with Greg and looked at my tire, that sucker is smooth as a baby’s butt. Had lunch in Steamboat Springs and started calling dealerships within range and found this one that had the tire in stock and they could do it today if we got here early enough before they closed. Had to leave the gang behind so Kristi and I could lay down the 200 miles to get here.

Good you noticed, Russ. Hopefully you weren't forced to pay tourista rates. Did you have Tim offer to pay in Canadian dollars?

Casper is a good name!!!
Well......wifey asked me a question and wanted me to bring my laptop upstairs. She was on the phone with someone with a foreign accent asking about computer stuff..... long story short, they tried to hack us. She got done with phone call and was "upset" with me asking questions. Told her not to call anyone (they said our land line and cell phones were compromised). I told her I'll be back. Ran to our daughters house as she works for our credit union. Talked to her and she said the branches were still open, so I ran up to the credit union and spoke with one of the people. We closed all accounts, set up new, new debit cards, new checks on order, and information to get with those who direct deposit and switch info. Then up to Geek Squad and had them check the laptops and he said they were ok. Think we got things changed before anything happens. Have a friend who works in IT at MSU, so left him a message that I wanted to chat with him to confirm.
What a mess. Wife was upset and scared that I would be pissed about this.... we're ok!!! Aahhhh.....life!
