I stand corrected
What I said earlier was not quite true, I did send someone with Jay so that he could take his car home and drop it and get a ride to get his bike, but...for some reason they took his car, picked up the bike and brought them both back here.
This afternoon Jay was pondering thoughts, I could tell because I saw the glazing in his eyes, I asked what the issue was and said, he doesn't know how to get both vehicles home tonight. I told him that I thought that was what he did earlier.
So...I just came back from driving my car to his house and bringing him back after he dropped his car off. In case you are ever wondering Vauxhall to East Lake to Fire to Chesterfield rd is quicker than Vauxhaul to Hunts Brook to Unger/Moxley to Chesterfield, but you have to Rally through East Lake and Fire and send up a few gravel rooster tails.

Who's smiling?
They said the temperature today was going to hit 50. So Jason asked if he could pick up his motorcycle out of storage. So I gave him permission and a person to go with him so he could drop off his car at home and have a ride to the storage facility. He came back in the door and asked if we were going for a ride. I figured, what the hell, so we jumped on our bikes and hit the road.
The ride over, we parked the bikes inside the building and I sent two guys to get my car from Mystic and pick up lunch. Jason is walking around with that "I haven't been on my bike since forever grin". He is smiling ear to ear. Seems he found his smile right where mine was last year...somewhere between the handlebars and his ass.
Oh yeah...that 50 degree thing...NO. Jason rode plugged, I froze my ass off.

Got Snow?
I took my father for a ride on Saturday, We cruised out through North Stonington to Hopkinton RI. If you have ridden with me you probably know the roads, Charles Main through the Vinyard, Hangman hill, Clarks Falls rd. We stopped at The Middle of no where then cruised down to Narragansett. On the way we stopped by Yawgoo. I was surprised it was still in business. They had the Snow machines on standby and all the trails were open. The tubing area seemed to be getting a lot of business.
If you have never been there you need to understand...Rhode Island really doesn't have any hills, so it makes the most out of a Valley. Yawgoo Valley off rte 2...

The bike is home
Jerry Miner gave me a ride so that I could pick it up yesterday. (am working on talking him into a Road King). I brought it home, put it in it's shed, and headed out to take care of things I had to.
The bike came home yesterday, and as usual when a shop works on it they do not mark the locations of where the shifters and pegs were. Sometimes they mark the pegs, but never the shifter arms. I know its easy to put them back, it's a matter of loosening and removing a allen screw, removing the rear lever, loosening a allen bolt, sliding the forward lever off, repositioning it where you want, tightening the screw, then sliding the heal shifter on and re tightening that bolt. But you know something? Working for BMW has taught me something, people have preferences. At BMW if something is replaced it is put back where it was, if a new radio is installed the customers station favorites are placed back in the unit. It is a simple matter for a tech working on a motorcycle to mark the shifters TDC with a line and put them back so that line lines up.Same with pegs.
That said, My bike needs to have its pegs moved, it needs to have the shifters relocated, and a charging lead installed, easy enough, but I don't have the time this morning and am really not in the mood to sit on a cold ass driveway and re align two shift levers and four highway pegs. The pegs require getting on and off the bike, checking for position as each one is done.
So since they are wrong, I will not be on today's ride.
Maybe later today, I will be able to hit the road.

Maybe my perspectives are askew
Wednesday the temperature was in the high 50's almost 60.
Thursday (yesterday) was brezzy but the temperature still hovered in the mid 50s.
This morning I woke up to two inches of snow. The first thought that crossed my mind was "Snow!! what's with that? It was almost 60 this week!!"
Maybe what I should have said was, "Snow!, it's about time in started to look like winter, It's February after all!"
I got so used to all the nice weather this year I think I wrote off winter and was waiting for green trees, green lawns, sunny skies and tee shirt weather.
This morning was natures way of telling me...I'm an idiot.

Tonights Meal
Chop Suey is a Chinese dish consisting of meat (often chicken, fish, beef, shrimp (UK: prawns) or pork) and eggs, cooked quickly with vegetables such as bean sprouts, cabbage, and celery and bound in a starch-thickened sauce. It is typically served with rice but can become the Chinese-American form of chow mein with the addition of stir-fried noodles.
But.that is not what we are having, our dinner was designed by someone who said "Gee, that Chinese dish really looks good, let's Americanize it by changing the entire damn recipe, and then we can add the word American in front of it".
Yes...Tonights meal is American Chop Suey
If you look close you can see the resemblance between the two dishes.

More than I thought
The bike is at Mikes, as I said in an earlier posting, it turns out the oil leak was more serious than we at first thought. It turns out that the primary drive had a leak and it had been going on for a while. There is a bushing on the drive that has to be pressed on and off, not mine, it was so oil soaked it slid right out. Turns out this is also the reason the bike has been suffering from a lack of power at take off. It used to snap off the line, but with the system oil soaked it was slipping all over the place.
Luckily, the bike is under warranty and the parts to repair the issue were on hand, so no cost and all fixed. The tail light recall has been done, the 20,000 mile service was completed and all that is left is the CB. Visiting the shop this afternoon found the bike up on the rack with the fairing off, the seat and tank removed and wires hanging all over the place. Not a pretty picture.
