Rode up I5 yesterday to see Pops. I have Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat. Leave Sunday early, work on Monday.
Rear tire is a bit sketchy for the ride home.. may need to replace it. Ray says he's 3 hours away and has a tire changer.. but that's 6 hours + change time. Need to think this one through some more.
The ride was uneventful. For the first real time, I now appreciate having aux fuel on board. It's nice to know you can ride the 350 miles or so between tanks.. it helps when there is a fairly long ride ahead. The CC surges sometimes; when it accelerates, it hits really hard. As in BANG. Most of the time though, it works flawless. The sound system got fuzzy twice... Reseating the Zumo 550 into the cradle fixed it. I need a new cradle. I clean the contact pins.. but the frequency of failure has increased to intolerable, given the relatively cheap replacement price.
Call from Sister - Dad has made really good improvement. His vitals are stable, the kidneys appear to be returning to at least an acceptable if not stellar level. When the kidneys come back, they can admin some 'water pills' to help eliminate the fluid in his system. The fluid is leading to pneumonia.
I didn't get to sleep until after midnight, to jacked up from the ride I guess.
I'm now at Shari's in Keizer, off to see Pops in a bit.
Oh, it's raining, KrZy8 is getting a bath.
