Hey everyone, Haven't been on in a dog's age but I was thinking that this was around Maintenance Day time and figured I'd pop on and say Hi. Recent goings on have taken all of my time so I guess I'd fill you in. The bike is sold...a guy named Tim Gary from Madison Wisconsin bought her and he and his wife are enjoying the heck out of her. I believe they're in in California about now. Sam and I became grandparents...my son and his wife had a lil boy in April...pictures to follow later. He's great and they're all doing well. Retirement rocks...gives me time to help take care of my folks who are getting a little older and slower. Anyways....have a GREAT time at Dons...Sam and I always really enjoyed it. I miss coming on here...and even though I no longer have a Venture..I will always consider myself a Venture Rider. Vin

Sam Almgren came over from Ga today to try and help me fix my dim highbeam. Thanks Sam!!. Alas we (he) had no luck! Actually Sam seems to think the computer module has a problem since I don't have 12 V going to the high beam. Anyone have one of them dar puppies laying around? In the absence of that, a Mk1 dash with 30K miles? After that, anyone interested in disecting the old one or trying to fix it (Dingy?)?

We've had a sort of crisis here over the past month. About a month ago, my wife Sam called me from work telling me she needed to go to the ER because she was having chest pains and shortness of breath. It was the longest 10 minute drive of my life to go pick her up and get her there. After 6 hours of tests and more tests, they told us that it was definitely NOT heart or lung related, her blood tests showed no heart attack and she did not have blood clots in her lungs. (Now...Sam had no idea what the lung tests were about, but having run on ambulances for 30 years, they scared me the most because I know how bad they can be)Anyway, they let us go home and she went to visit our regular doctor the next day. They wanted an echo-cardiogram, which was done. We got a call a few days later that they might have found something wrong and she needed to see a cardiologist ASAP.It seems the echo cardiogram showed her heart might not be pumping properly out of the left side. So....more tests and another 10 days of waiting on pins and needles, today we got the results of everything. Seems the first echo cardiogram was wrong and she is fine........seems the chest pains were probably caused by either a pulled muscle of a torn rib cartilage. I'm not really a religious person, but as we got into the car after leaving the doctor, I DID look to the sky and say a thank you. Those of you who have met Sam know how special she is and she means the world to me so the past month has been very stressful. I think I now know at least a part of the anxiety that some of you are going through with your loved ones, and believe me, you all have my thoughts and best wishes. I don't know what I would have done if the news was bad.

Sam and I will be riding down to Ocean City Md towards the end of this month for a few days. I used to go down there once or twice a year as my ex's parents were from there but it's been 15 years or so. Anyone have any suggestions as to what to do? We're planning on Asseteague Island for a bit (Sam wants to see the ponies), but mostly lounging on the beach in front of the hotel, which is right on the boardwalk. Friends say Hoopers is a must go to restaurant, as well as Phillips Crab House. But we would be interested in any 'local sights' that few tourists know about.
