I put together a rough draft of an itinerary for the trip to Michigan, Sturgis & Olean. Everything is still up in the air at the moment, but as a starting point, it looks like we'll be talking about 5 - 6 thousand miles for the whole thing. Not too shabby at all. Zig and I chatted briefly about it last night and we're going to see if we can get together on Sunday to go through some of the finer details.
We might talk about the possibility of picking up new rides, too. I've known that I need to make the transition to a bagger for a while now and hell; crazier things have happened. What more motivation is needed? Especially considering that a trip as great as this could easily be shitcanned by a couple of breakdowns along the way. We'd have reliability, we'd have better packing abilities, and...we'd have tunes!
Switching gears; I talked to Flex last night about borrowing his compressor and chop saw so that I can get some more work done on the basement. His brother Jimmy is coming through for me on a framing gun, I have to swing by his work on my way home and pick it up (providing it'll accept the nails I'm using). Maybe I can get some work done on the cellar this weekend, too.
That's about it for this week. Weather? We've got snow coming in tonight. Depending on what station you believe, it'll be anywhere from as little as 3" to as much as 8" inches by tomorrow morning. But then Sunday is supposed to be mid-40's, maybe even caressing 50 degrees. Winter is trying its damndest to hold on, but Spring won't be denied. The two seasons will do a dance for a while but Winter has over-stayed it's welcome and will be escorted to the door soon. (But never soon enough.)
Start getting the plans made - our season is approaching.
