Sorry ole buddy Puc. Weather is going to have to co-operate a lot better before I get out your way. I've been out a few time just on local roads for shorter distance so far. The longest day ride was about 165-170 miles. In the meantime I've been busy here getting caught up on stuff at home since I haven't been on the road. Todays temps were pretty good but being with family I didn't get out, thou I let my son Eric take it out for a spin with his niece and nephew. First time ride for the kids and were loving it. The granddaughter is wanting lessons on driving the stick shift already. Might do that as she'll turn 21 this summer and is a great kid. Here's a couple pics I took when they got back from their ride. I think by their grins they liked it. LOL Larry

My heart is sad to hear this news about you & your sister Annie. Prayers offered up for all. Larry

Free food? Ya that sounds good. Jay let me know when you're doing this. Be happy to lend a hand. I've done a few and not a bad job. Larry

Couldn't have asked for a better Ambassador. Tip of my hat to you Annie.

Don I did the same thing when purchasing my Slingshot. It made a lot more sense making a payment on it at lower interest rates than a couple other bills with higher rates. All in due time thou. Larry

Passed 2 DQ's today with both having very long lines. Not worth my time for what you'd get. Larry

Good to see you still around Brad, even if not a lot. For sure you're doing something worth while with the Vets. Thanks for your time and effort in those regards as well as what you've done here. Past, present, and future on all fronts. Larry

Nice car Don. AS you know todays cars have so many features in todays cars its mind boggling. I'm sure you'll get a lot of happy miles in your new choice of car. As for downing sizing vehicles you're probably doing the wise decision there too, especially if you do decide on a career change. You can always pick up a used car/truck when/if you switch jobs. Larry

Sorry to hear this news. Thoughts & prayers for family & friends. Larry

Good deal catching up with Rick & Blairwitch. Hope they are all doing well. I look in on the Vol site once in a while but rarely post. Might give em a shout next time we're down at Vogel state park for Dragon riders Tail of the Dragon.

Good idea. Just label one summer & the other winter. Maybe better put the change dates on em too. LOL Larry

Michigan it's 5"slab AND (I think) 36"footings for a garage or 3" flat slab for a shed. Larry BTW: excellent choice on hiring that cement work done.

Glad to hear you're doing better Wrench. This stuff does take longer to get over for us old guys. Hang in there cause it does get better with time. Larry

Prayers to Abdul and family

Yep more to do with the nut behind the wheel.

Yep what Ragtop says. Been there done that Unc and it sure ain't much fun.

Well done Gary. We already knew you were a hero for your 1st gen work but this truly shows your character. Larry

All good advice from everyone so far Don. Whatever decision you finally come to we have your back. Our prayers offered to help guide you in following your path of life. Larry

Bob on your list I saw the RSV in the video, Hopefully we'll convince Raggy to host another M&E, ya I hope the Puc came get to the WNY rally too, and last I just looked at the weather forecasts for the next week for us here in SE Michigan. Starting Saturday and all the way thru next week we'll be seeing 40-48 * temps for highs so I'm looking forward to seeing the ground again. Something I haven't seen here since late November. Hope some of that warm air gets over your way too. Larry

Thanks a lot for sharing your summer riding experience Puc. Looks like you ended way to soon though, its still a cold & snow covered world out there looking through my windows. Guess I'll try to get busy either planning my summer trips or do something in the garage till spring finally shows up. Larry

Yea Don I hear you loud and clear. I did some researching right after posting and found out right quick this wouldn't be no easy nor cheap task for us garage tinkerers. Wishful thinking of course but reality set in real quick. LOL Your 40 watt unit today runs 3-5 K depending on size so like most electronics equipment they have come down in price but still not a cheap endeavor. Larry

Lasers for the hobbyists or tinkers? Costs? I bet a lot of us could come up with a whole bunch of stuff to make. Larry

Feeling your pain Carl. My daughters furnace croaked last night. They got up for work with 45* temps in the house. Certainly not fun with these record breaking sub - low temps we're having. Their furnace is 14 years old so no telling what it'll cost them.

Looking good & reminds me of my 05 Tri Wing before it was totaled. Enjoy the ride. Larry

Thanks Gary
