Andy, Jon and I warned him. :huepfenlol2:

I even told him to go buy a rain seat cover.  (He has a Corbin with the leather seat.)  But I forgot to tell him to ride with it on. ;D

I've been so lucky on missing the rain. The temps have been moderate in range. Lots of fog in the mornings at the higher elevations. The Blueridge Parkway is gorgeous, curvy and these guys and ladies ride them with lots of enthusiasm.

Everybody is having a good time.

What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men

Just left Maggie Valley and am on my way there. Colorado, Utah then home to California.

Great pics, looking forward to it. Interesting about the number of tourists in the area. Guess I'll have to learn to plan for accommodations.

Don

So there you are...

Left Evans, GA at 8:00 am arrived at brand spanking New Orleans at 6:30 pm. Boy is it hot and humid here. Goin for my shorts and sandals.

Made a cutover to Florida state line and who knows how frigging far past before an exit to turn around. Bad planning took me an hour and my camera wouldn't shoot the border sign.

Taking pics but can't post them because IPad is a piece of chit! Can't figure out any advantage to an IPad over laptop. I could have gotten a laptop this size. The Apple Rep said the IPad was excellent with photos. If I wanted people to see photos on a local device I'd load them onto my frigging phone.

Found some software for $30.00 that allows you to download to your iPod, iPhone, itoilet, iou's, ietc, ietc, ietc, but is very slow and time consuming.

I apologize for no pics. Maybe I'll find a small Costco PC and begin a new nightmare?

Don great to meet you in MV. The Ipad is simple you simply plug in the camera card reader in bottom and the Ipad will load them for you. Once in Iphoto on the Ipad you can post or email them. Find a BestBuy or Apple store and all will be well. Hang in there with it.

Insert the white cartridge in bottom of the Ipad and then put the SD card in and watch it work

I have had the camera download kit and have hundreds downloaded onto the IPad2. I also figured out how to Email a photo.

A recommendation was to use Flickr but this Yahoo product requires Adobe utilities that the IPad doesn't have.

Still can't figure out how to get a photo to CVOHarley.com.

I went into IPhoto and can find a selection for EMailing and Copying but that's about it.

I've got it!! We need to raise $10,000 for Neal so we can get a "CVO Mobile App"   :orange:

Let me grab the Ipad and figure that one out.

Made it to Cleveland, TX just North of Houston around 3:30 pm Wednesday. It has been a very warm day.

A high light of the day was when one lane of I-10 was shut down due to a broken down Loomis Armoured vehicle that was off the road. A good Loomis vehicle was blocking the lane so they could transfer the cargo. Took me twenty sweltering minutes to get by. Our Cajun neighbors don't care for human BBQ pits lane splitting past their air-conditioned automobiles. Still can't figure why they couldn't pull the good Loomis vehicle off the road to load it.

Many 18 wheeler loads of hay being hauled (clap, clap, clap) Deep In the Heart of Texas. Dried out dry here.

Heading north through Dallas to Tulsa in the morning.

By the time we raise $10k, inflation will balloon the price 25-50%.

Still figuring out the IPad 2. Can't figure out how to scroll or cursor back and forth within the text.

My fingers are too fat and my aim is poor.

Rode from Tulsa to Albuquerque. Simon met me at the motel and we rode over to Sadies for dinner. Weather was perfect. Wore my jacket the whole way.

Balloons tomorrow.

Can't stay awake.
