Howdy folks,
Today was a much warmer day with lots of blue and wind. I had planned I would venture out on the road and enjoy my first of the season ride on two, but I had to instead admit I wasn't feeling up for the part, not yet anyway. I am hopeing that although tomorrow will be a lower temp ride, I can dress the part.
I did get out on four by myself today, not much time passed before the confirmation of correct reasoning fully revealed that as much as I prefer two wheels, two pair worked in my favor. I managed to deal better today with food, less nausea and finally the other end was following the spec sheet more closely to proper working order. Finally!! Hopefully it all continues. I am still running on low octane and the day just about whooped me, but it was nice to get out. So I guess today I'm celibrating an a pooped sort of way my first time out since Thursday March 10th (the last day of my three day cycle of chemo). Man, I'm glad it's over, even if it's only temperary.
Funny in a tired way that most will understand, I spent time in the Town Clerk's line waiting to register my two bikes ans a cargo trailer that I tow behind my Ultra on two up long distance road trips. Sue's wheelchair fits in great with about a 2 minute wrenching task. Anyway, I stood in the "time stands still" line for longer than I care, but, not bad since I could have spent the same amount of money anytime after Jan. 1st (my birth month). I did do something that I thought I'd do for years, but today was the day, I changed my four letter Veteran Initial Plate on my 1997 Heritage Springer from ""CHAP" to "HSOA". I did need to register the bikes if I wanted to ride without the risk of getting a ticket for an unregistered vehicle. I was lucky to secure the choice of "HSOA" for my '97 FLSTS Heritage Springer, because I have been a member of the "HSOA" Heritage Springer Owners Association so long my membership number is #250.
I also went to the Post Office also. I didn't have to wait in line there, but by the time I got back into my truck, I was ready for a nap. But, I had a nice supper with Sue (it even smelled and tasted great) and I cooked and right now I'm kicked back in the recliner with the laptop enjoying a chat with folks that bring a spring to my step and a smile to my face. I'll let you know if I pull off a ride tomorrow. I am hopeing so!!
