hanging at the delightful airport, nice and early for my flight to SFO.
will be there a few days with family before leaving the country for a week or so.
hope to be back by second week of january.
thank for all your kind words.
maybe i'll do some stuff on the road, since really, there isn't that much to do anyway at least for me.
i do have a movie recommendation: "Straight up."
Perhaps the most well written film i've seen in a few years.
its the kind of writing that requires you throwing on the subtitles, because lines fly by that are too good to miss. i've watched it twice, and found new things.
the plot is a love story. an actual Platonic love story.
pretty rare these days.
Send help......and a storage unit. He kept the m'fer a secret. Maybe I should come home with a pair of $1000 shoes.
Congratulation to @SGKusmertz, @bek1, and @wilbner. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Joe and the Panelists.
@SGKusmertz If you could have one song play when you enter a room, what would it be?
@bek1 Do you usually feel excited or stressed out about going back to school after summer break?
@wilbner What was the best prank you’ve ever pulled?
“Day 14”
Of the 2026 Cavalcade
2007 miles
“I'm baaaaaaaaack!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm baaaaaaaaaaack!
I'm back in the saddle again”
We picked up the scoot around 17:45. The Svc Mgr texted me;
“It’s all done, but it’s hard getting it into neutral. We may have to keep it another day.
“It’s always been hard to get into neutral.” I responded
“Can you get here by 18:00?”
I could and did get there by 18:00.
We rode to Bodega bay, and picked up the Camper. Ricardo, the gentleman whom let us store it in his driveway had it blocked in with a car, so that nobody could mess with it. After we were able to find him, we tried to slip him $40.00 for letting us store it there but he refused.
We made the round trip back to Walnut Creek. Reloaded the trailer, and dropped the rental car off.
We then made the hour and a half ride to Half Moon Bay.
Except the last 7 miles took over an hour. So it was more like 2 1/2 hours. On one hill, I pulled off onto a shady pull off to let the scoot cool.
Not only...
