Thank you dear, for my getting out of town blog post and for the wonderful breakfast this morning, my life does not suck!\u00a0 My first day on this ride across the country started nice and cool but that didn’t last for long.\u00a0 Nice ride through Fillmore and then through the Valencia & Canyon Country area.\u00a0 I lived in that area for many years but haven’t been back up that way for a while; it’s hard to recognize with all the growth and other changes.\u00a0 Around Yucca Valley the wind was starting to gust.\u00a0 After I turned off the 247 and onto the 62 it was really bad and all the jerking around was enough for my tent and motorcycle to part company.\u00a0 I didn’t notice but a fellow rider pulled up and told me about where it came off.\u00a0 I went back but these people out here are not likely to leave anything that has any value at all sitting on the side of the road.\u00a0 It was gone, but I’ve already located a replacement and will have it (more securely attached you can be sure) before I leave for Texas on Thursday.<\/p>\n

I was happy when I got to Parker because I only had 150 miles to go and I could take my helmet off.\u00a0 I know, I know – you should ride with a helmet.\u00a0 And I think YOU should ride with a helmet whenever YOU ride.\u00a0 I on the other hand will make my own decisions; hell the decision to travel by motorcycle in the first place is pretty dangerous.\u00a0 Okay, off my soap box.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s hot out here in the summer time and there’s just no way around it.\u00a0 It wasn’t too bad as long as I was going at least 35 mph but just stopping at a light was not fun.\u00a0 When I pulled into the driveway at my parents house my father met me with an ice cold glass of 1800 (that’s tequila for those of you who didn’t know).\u00a0 Now THAT’S what I call a welcome.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow starts a two day golf tournament (just me and my dad) but I’ll tell you more about that later…..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
