We completed the Devils Tower loop. Was a nice, warm day. There was a lineup to get into the park, took about 1/2hr.
While waiting in the line, I parked myself close to the Center line which would put the saddle bag on the line so Paula could park beside me.
Along comes douche in a 80’s motorhome heading back down, yells at me to “get in your lane, ********!”
Two vehicles ahead was a Chevy with his mirrors on the centreline. Haha.
Such a wonderful experience.
Oh well, I figured he was having a bad day. I hoped he sat in the heat, waiting his turn to see the Mtn and the AC crapped out on him.

I'm sorry that American was unfriendly to you. We're not all like that, I swear.

Hi Jack!

My frustration is, no one seems to believe I know my body and there shouldn't be anything holding me back from sitting at a GD desk.

I can ride my motorcycle without pain and issue. I can rock it side to side, and back into the garage without straining myself, but I'm told to take it easy. What is expected of me? Sitting in a chair or lying in bed forever?

I'm a cop, I take down bad guys, I fight, I don't sit still. I've been patiently recovering and I'm at a point I can start to function. At no point have I said I'm perfect again. I understand I have some limitations, but I'm absolutrly going to push myself to those boundaries without injuring myself. I just wish people would let me.

I'm just frustrated. I can do more than they're letting me. I can sit at a desk and clear out old cases. I'd be getting paid the same as doing nothing, but contributing to society.
like I said, I would likely be pushing myself as hard/harder if I were in your shoes so I get your side too. Just saying. You know your body best. Listen to it.

anyways.

a night in the Bronx. First 2 pics are the “pregame”

Halito Mick, Toaks. Welcome to Saturday. Not much planned again for today....go to Post and do my thing, then home and see what kind of trouble I can get into. Hoping you guys don't get in trouble!!!
Nice pics on the trip, sign holders, ball games, and in general. Glad to hear our travelers made it through the rain and hail. Did that once, and was a bit um.... uncomfortable! Safe travels my friends. Looking forward to more tales and pics.
