What a glorious day

[f6john]

In central Kentucky. SmokinJoe was bound to have a great ride up no matter the route. No riding for me but I have been outside as much as possible today.

I don’t know how many glorious days a man is allotted in his life but I sure don’t want to waste any. Hoping everyone riding or not was blessed with a great day.

Other things that went right today. I had a 20+ year old Snapper self propelled walk behind mower that was needing attention so I had taken it in to the local repair shop along with a gas edger I bought used recently. I gave them a rundown of symptoms I was experiencing with them and they called today to say they were ready and that would $198.00 please. The $198.00 wasn’t surprising as I was expecting $200.00+. What was really cool was getting them home and having them perform better than I could remember on the mower and the 2nd hand edger was super. So well in fact that I edged about half my sidewalks just for fun.

The wife and I went looking at granite countertop slabs today and the estimates on her favorites were so high she is considering some good looking options that will save us at least $1,000.00.

Yes, today was great here also. Temps got up to 59, I had to throw a flannel shirt on over my t-shirt but was bright and sunny. No riding but the weather puts you in a good mood, so my workout at the gym was extra long and hard. The next seven days are predicted to be much the same. Sure hope my plates get here for the trike real soon, won't be many riding days left I'm thinking.

I agree with them John.
Keep your paperwork handy and ride !

If you are really worried, the place that took your registration should have temp plates.

I rode Ruby thru the thick smoke to Lake City yesterday.  Stopped at the trail site memorializing Alfred Packer to stretch the legs and consume some p-nut butter Ritz crackers and a soda.  I could hear rolling thunder and turned to see four Harley's coming 'round the corner.  The front man saw me and abruptly slowed and pulled in, barking something that I couldn't hear as he pulled up nearby.  The rest followed.

I after the rumbling was stifled and helmets were removed I said I couldn't hear what he was saying.  "I'm envious of your beautiful Valkyrie".  I laughed and said he had a bunch more invested in his gorgeous top of the line hawg, but he knew of what he spoke and pointed to his tall (at least 6'6") buddy.  "He's got one".  After ribbing the buddy about riding his Harley and leaving his Fat Lady pining for adventure in the dank and lonely garage, we chatted for awhile about these wonderful Joe Boyd creations and the joys of motorcycling in general.  

I even gave them a brief history of our legendary local cannibal.

None of them had heard of Alfred Packer, BTW.

I said my nicetameetchyas and fare thee wells and departed first, red lining thru the first few gears.  It just felt right!

The DMV office here won't do title and registration work in person for the foreseeable future due to the virus, you have to do it all via computer online. If they had done it in person, I would have asked about a paper plate. Took my son in law(SIL) about ten days to get his back when he bough his I/S.
