Me and the wife just had that conversation this weekend after I spent a few hours visiting my dad. I ask her what can we do to "not" end up that way. My old mam repeats himself soooooo much. I think so much idle time by himself since mom passed away is making him loose his ever loving mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at that "forgetting stuff" stage, hopefully I'm not at the saying things over and over again part yet... ughhh, old people problems. I'm just hoping to take all of my vacation days this year since I had to roll 5 of them over to this year, which reminds me, I have 2 days that I need to schedule off before the end of the month.

I'm not capped on vacation since it caps out at like 160 hours, but I'm more than halfway there. A good number of people I work with are capped though. Going out to NM 2 years ago for a month to help my dad out after his strokes killed off all of my saved vacation time (plus a couple weeks of unpaid leave) up to that point. Somehow you need to figure out how to spend those 2 days on motorcycle stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an attached unheated garage and I found a small electric heater provided just enough warmth to work out there when the outside temps were above 20. I was able to do valve checks and repack the suspension bearings. In many ways it is much better than in the summer where the enclosed area can be very hot and stuffy. Still it easy to put it off if you know you wont be doing many miles in the next few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find winter garage time to be relaxing and way better than sitting in front of the tube. That reminds me, I've got to get my spring oil changes and equipment checks underway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Not to add to things but if anyone is still looking for accommodations.... this place next door to the Townsend Gateway Inn has houses for rent at $200/night that supposedly sleep up to 16 people. http://talleyhoinn.com/the-inn.html I looked into booking at the Gateway Inn and it seems that every room is booked. I snozed I lozed, yeah yeah, sadly I didn't know the wedding plans until after the first of the year and by that time Gateway was booked solid. That said, I am looking at going down a bit early. I *MIGHT* do the Mid-O track day the Monday (18th) of that week but if I don't I might head down to Townsend instead. May be looking for a roommate to keep costs down. This place also has 2 bed, fridge and microwave rooms for $89/night and single small rooms for $69/night. Very reasonable and has good reviews.
