    I’m at a high school right now for a volleyball tournament today. There’s a guy walking around trying to find who owns a black van because they parked it right in the middle of a motorcycle course they offer here. I guess the genius didn’t notice all the cones around the area where they have the course.

    most realistic motorcycle course ever.

    I just called... to say... your Grom sucks... 

     

    Love lift us up where we de-grom.

    Where the eagles cry
    On a mountain high

    Love lift us up where we de-grom.
    Far from the world below
    Up where the clear winds blow

    Some hang on to used to be
    Live their lives looking behind
    All we have is here and now
    All our lives, out there to find
    The road is long
    There are mountains in our way
    But we climb a step every day
    Love lift us up where we de-grom.

    In California, there were two highschool football teams flying to Washington. I was surrounded by teenagers for a good while. I am sure I got something from one of them. Regardless, fever broke Sunday am and I was feeling ok. I was tired, but on the upswing. I started driving to NC on Monday for work and then my voice started to go. I couldn't talk yesterday at all, but today is an improvement. Now that my voice is returning, my left ear canal feels like it has water inside and it is beginning to ache. I can hear, but the sound is muted. I flushed my nasal cavity with salt water and that helped my sinuses. If my ear isn't improved when I wake up, I will drive to the closest urgent care and choke down the out of network bill. 

    pour hydrogen peroxide in your ear and hold your head sideways until the bubbling slows. . I've had that help with tooth infections even.

  4. Put on cnc levers. Found the clutch already had a threaded adjustment nut opposite the cable adjuster. On the plus side, they fit. They were sold as fitting two versions with different brakes.

    Each newer design seems to get worse. The adjustable plungers sucked. But the new one recesses into a rotating barrel inside the perch and it will mount miss-seated. Lining up for the pivot bolt was very difficult for some reason.

    I was in WV a couple weekends ago and passed a few cyclists climbing the mountains. I decided then that I missed the satisfaction of a hard climb and promised myself I would get back onto my bicycle. The motorcycle is fun and I enjoy it very much, but it is not comparable to climbing on the bicycle. I will attempt to maintain a healthy balance of both. Then I can have my cake and eat it, too. 

    But you have a new motorcycle. The only way i see this working is if you buy a new bicycle.

  6. Rode Ceasar Creek for the first time in a decade. It's old and a bit eroded. A good adventure though.  Highlight reel was pole dancing on a tree. There were trees on both sides of the trail next to a ravine. The up hill tree had steep angled roots . My front tire rebounded of them pointed down into the ravine. I grabbed onto the downhill tree. The bike dropped out from under and spun us in a 180. Then then top tube and I extreme scissored 4 feet to the bottom.

    Less painful then the highlight at Dillon last month. I wheelied over a flat rock to a pointy rock in the middle of the trail with a tree uphill. I didn't get the wheel down to pick a line. I hit my hand and bar on the tree. The front wheel kicked then spun out from under me. The momentum pushed the downhill left side of my neck into the tree about 5 feet high and with the bike gone I grated all the way down. There were sections of dillon so rocky that there was no moss worn off any path

    News traffic map just shows an accident. Must have been a fatality involved to close it down. 

    one station says a pedestrian was hit on the ramp before the backup. waze shows 5 different accidents.
