I don't have these issues, doing, so far, everything myself, but on the plus side you don't have a disassembled bike in the garage, a bedroom, the basement and two closets for more years than I'll admit. And I've let the tires go until if I'm going to ride anything this year, I'll have to start on the backlog of 5 bikes with tires too old or worn to be safe anymore. At least one of them gets new wheel bearings, too. I've got all the tools, just need warmer weather and less procrastination.

Probably have to throw in cash on top of that trade. Saw some going at the auction for ridiculous amounts. I thought that one was a particularly nice example.

Hi Mark. Doesn't take many hours on my feet till they feel like they're burning. That equates to about a half mile of walking before I'm done. Did a couple miles at the zoo with Daughter and grandkids a few years ago was in some serious pain when we got back to the car. Few days sitting down after that and know better now.

It was Russ. It felt so good to see them I cried.

Manny and Layla are officially dating now. Not surprised...

Emily said she has asked out a boy. I'm screwed. One mistake and my life falls apart while I'm bedridden, unable to stop the flow of chaos.

my scotch is first rate, I’ve paid $20 per cigar and occasionally I find one for under ten that are nearly as good

I coveted one of those when they came out, but ended up with a first gen Honda 750 four I got for about half the price I could have gotten a 900 for back then. Those bikes weren't lightweights, though, nearly the same weight as a sportster. I still think the 900 was one of the best looking Japanese bikes.

@Backforty Chuck, looks like Ardadia was hopping. I wish I could have made it down. I hope you feel better after some rest.

FAU is playing well so far but still lots of time left.
