Wife and I rode to Pigeon Forge and stayed a week with other family at a VRBO back in May '21. We visited that Harley shop and ate at the Hog Shed there. One day I hopped on the bike and headed towards town and about half way I remembered TN is a mandatory helmet state. A cop saw me riding but didn't bother me.

I did a really good cleaning on my bike last Friday. Saturday morning I had a funeral escort in the rain. I guess I'll be cleaning again this week

I stopped at the Rocky Top HD last May. As soon as I parked the bike it started POURING rain! No worries though. It was lunchtime and had a bite at the Hog Shed across the street. By the time I was done the rain slowed and I was on my way. I wish that kind of luck followed me everyday Goes w/o saying AWESOME area for riding!

I watched itchy boots, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 tonight… in 9 that mountain pass is Beartooth pass high… She seems to get cold a lot… I wonder what she has for electrics… As to the broken chain guard… You don’t need to order a new part… Duct tape will fix that…

… if you’re going into the sand dunes… I think a shovel is a good idea… Especially if you’re by yourself… And I certainly hope she looked inside that helmet for scorpions before she put it on… Lol…

…it sure is nice to see the roads that she takes… A lot of that stuff there’s no one around and if you have a problem, you’re on your own… Maybe she’s got a satellite phone… I would take one… On all the roads she goes on I measure them this way… Would I take my Harley on that road, or not … She goes a lot of places I would not go …

More snow last night. Full on Harley season is probably still a month away. I spent a few hours on guitar therapy. Trying to learn to play power chords, so I can rock it out!! I spent awhile on Seven Nation Army. The muscle group that is used to hold that chord position was complaining a bit.

Springing ahead was "fun"....now, if we could just stop screwing with the clocks.

Lots of rain in the 10-day forecast. I'm not liking my chances for some wind therapy......I guess I'll have to get some range therapy instead.
