Should be just a few weeks actually. Already have that set of hiccups out of the way, time to find the other ones. 
Already laughing about it, I like to call it my "Polish Luck". This is the luck you get when you are a mix of Irish and Polish. Besides, I got to meet some true heroes on when I had stop and fix something. Met a WWII vet, was one of the original Frogmen in the Navy, shared some good stories and a few tears, also met a Viet Nam vet who had been a POW. I plan on keeping in touch with both, I felt honored to have met them.
On my next trip, I am planning on going up into the U.P. and then over into Wisconsin and down through Illinois and follow Lake Michigan back up to Empire/Glen Arbor area and back down to home. This time I am going to take a tent and maybe some fishing gear to catch and make my own food.
Total round trip, I put on somewhere in the neighborhood of 3800-4000 miles, not bad for a couple of weeks. My a$$ is still sore from the needs to be replaced seat though, but you're all right, I wouldn't have traded it for anything.
its those crazy thing that you'll remember later in life as great as the trip was it the **** happens thing that youll laugh about.

And I find out sometime this week if I am able to go back on active duty, this time it will be Army, not Navy. While I was in I had a blast. And It was definitely my pleasure to have served for the people of this great nation.
