Default it's been a while..

Just a quick hey there how are ya people... I've sort of been busy away from here for a while.. but I think now finally, I can spend some time here again.. had some health issues to deal with.. and no, no long boring stories.. On the plus side.. during all that non sense, my "charming spousal unit".. went all out and I ended up with a 2014 Charcoal Grey and Black FLHTK for Christmas in 2013.. Luckily, I got past most of all the down side stuff and.. for what it's worth, on New Year's Day of 2015, I hit 24k on that bike.. my "recovery" included a 10 day run down to Key West, two trips though Maggie Valley, a couple three day rides.. including the "back of the dragon" and Lake George NY.. the big event.. was a 3 week plus cross country ride.. one big loop that included Sioux city, Sturgis ( first couple days) , Rushmore, Deadwood, Custer Park, the badlands, the Black Hills, Crazy Horse, Hill City, Devils Tower, the Bear Tooth Pass, Spotted Horse, Cody, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Jackson, Driggs, Moab, Cedar City Utah, Durango, the "million dollar hwy", Silverton, Cortez, The Grand Canyon, Four Corners, Jerome Arizona, Sedona, Williams Arizona, a great ride down the 191 in Arizona, wheels turned on Rt 66, Show Low, Tombstone, Las Cruzes ( I'm sure I didnt' spell that right ) El Paso, Odessa, Texarkana, Nashville and eventually back home.. not in that exact order but.. close enough.. 8400 hundred miles and change.. so at least for 2014... I wasn't just a "wanna be" lol.. so hey, it's good to be "back in the wind" and it's good to be back here as well... Cheers y'all
