Well all, time has caught up with me, and my aching back. In 1977 I hurt it in a fall that could not did not go on insurance, company I worked for is thirty years gone and now so are the lowest three discs. Going in 8/31 for surgery, they intend to try micro initially but should it escalate I will not know until I awaken a few hours later, IF awaken.

So for now I am off the ride until this duration of healing is done, probably won't see the saddle again until next spring but I will be ready !!!!

Prayers sent your way, brother. Sending vibes your way for a speedy recovery, and getting you back on two wheels, the best therapy there is.
