I’ve got about 70-80 square feet of floor tile to grout and clean and then go soak up some of this sunshine! I saw where Joe was meeting up with some locals around 11:00 this morning for destinations unknown. Once again I’ll be getting such a late start my ride will have to be local.
I did get out once last week for a few hours and found a road in Powell and Estill county that kept my pucker string pretty tight. If I have the time I will go back, a good road to improve my lack of skill in the twisties.

Riding my 'Wing (Rode the Valk last time, I try to spread the love between my ladies) to a chiropractor appointment after work... Big excitement, but at least it's an excuse for a ride...

Dang, I thought you’d be sick of doctors by now. (Hope it’s nothing serious)  |

Dang, I thought you’d be sick of doctors by now. (Hope it’s nothing serious) VERY over doctors, luckily just a minor thing, NOT related to the earlier issues... 'Shoulder impingement syndrome". It's evidently rotator cuff injury of the tendon, caught it early and some chiro stuff and PT stuff and should be good to go... While I'm over doctors, I'm ALSO over my trait of not going to see one until it's too late, a VERY hard learned lesson! |

Well, no riding since we didn't bring the trike down. But still getting some "riding" in using the car, meeting up with old friends and neighbors. Will be getting together with one couple that just had $11k in work done on their restomod '39 Chevy, a hurricane last year created havoc with everything and flooded areas never flooded before...including their multistation garage.
It's been a great trip thus far, temps in the 70's most days, sunny days most of the time. I'm taking Nancy around to various spots of interest and driving through the different neighborhoods caused her to tell me she now understands why I miss this area so much. After a few phone calls, we now have a fairly full calendar for evenings out with friends. Next week we plan to hit the coast...both sides. It's been fun.

It’s a black paint with faint blue highlights. My customer showed uncharacteristic taste picking it |

Another plan down the drain. I got the floor grouted and done around 3:00, about the time my granddaughter woke up from her nap. She had a great idea, wanted to go for a ride in the “red car”! The Corvette has been under a car cover and connected to a battery tender for several months so I thought, you know, she has a good idea.
Her idea of going for a ride, is sitting in my lap with her hands on the wheel and my wife in the passenger seat. Of course we don’t leave the subdivision and we put around in second gear. She loves it when I give the throttle a short stab and it throws her back against me, the wife not so much, but she loves to hear her shriek and then giggle, do it again! 15-20 minutes of that and she’s ready to move on to something else.
Happy to hear everybody else had enjoyable productive time today.
