Very nice. Glad to hear you are enjoying life again!

I guess "Peggy's" magic touch did the trick!!!



Decided to try something the other day, so I ordered a phone holder off of Amazon. Mounted it to the dash on the EG, and went for a little spin:

This is the place I go. It is nationwide chain that I have a membership to and I can use any of their facilities anywhere.

Some may say that is lame or weak or whatever, but the benefit is worth it, especially if you get a good therapist. I always book my appointments with the same girl and leave her nice tips. I rarely have to take pain medication anymore. Given my elevated liver enzymes and pancreas issues etc, the less medicine I take the better.

It has also helped relaxed my mind and eased the tremendous pressure I have been under from a variety of sources.

Give it a try. It will extend your riding years and extend how far you can ride. It will also help improve your mood. I was a naysayer until I tried it out of desperation.

I did leave a thirty dollar tip on top of the usual fee last time. Draw your own conclusions.

It takes a lot of cash to keep "Peggy" in eyeliner and glitter.

I lost employment, and then health insurance. I went into total shut in mode for a while to save money and protect my health. Employed and have health insurance again, so now I'm riding.
