Daily Ditty March 17, 2020 Today I rode 320 miles but it was a great day. Last nights weather blew through and left puffy clouds the majority of the day. I started out to to temperatures in to low 50's. I had been thinking about this day the entire trip. I finally got off the freeway today...

Wishing you the best Eddie.

Daily Ditty a day late. I ended up in Deming New Mexico on March 14 after a 500 mile day. On Sunday March 15 I did it again. This was a get down the freeway day. It is what it is. Tonight as I write this the COVID-19 capturing the national attention and hard supplies are in heavy demand...

oday I crossed a time zone so took the opportunity to make good use of the extra hour by riding about 540 miles today. When I started this morning the humidity was 80% and the temp was about 67 degree something I don't experience very often. Dig these layer of rock. About an hour into...

Daily Ditty. March 13, 2020 Nearly no unplanned events today, except 2 miles from the hotel there was a traffic jam for some reason so I took a 45 minute detour to get around the mess. Today the temps were between 71 and 82 with partly cloudy skies, straight roads, good pavement and a...

The daily ditty. March 11, 2020 I road from the Johnson Space Center to Hppants house. Like nearly every day on this trip this one had an unplanned event as well. The day started out well enough. I took the coast route. It was a foggy morning. Gee there is a quip here somewhere but I...

Daily Ditty March 10, 2020. Today I played tourist at the Johnson Space Center near Houston Texas. I spent about 8 hours here and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I was 13 years old when men landing on the Moon in 1969 so I remember the excitement of the space program. And as I worked in aerospace...

Daily Ditty March 9, 2020. On March 8 2020 I spent time with my in-laws in Llano Texas. My grand daughter Magi, age 6, was helping the twins, age 3, ride a small bicycle with training wheels. She lifted them on the seat then pushed or pulled the cycle. It was a pleasure to see them playing...

I don't think I will be in the Austin area in April but I really don't know yet.

Daily ditty for March 7, 2020. I am going to rename this trip to it didn't work out as planned. The plan today was to visit my in-laws in Llano Texas. One of the four kids was sick but I could stay with my step daughter's step father. That was the plan created yesterday. This morning Jerrod...

I checked out the XT out on the Garmin product page.  It seems you don't need to create a route on a PC and transfer it.  Instead a route is created on the GPS - wonder how well that works?  I am not happy with my 590LM but it is better than a phone as the GPS is easier to see and is glove...

Here is the daily ditty for March 6, 2020. Today I removed the foot peg lowering parts. They lower the foot pegs by 1 3/4 inches. I think they are the devil's seed. You may have a different opinion so they are for sale. Price negotiable. I have been kind of busy today - things have not gone to...

Hey Don get the set from Dave.  Likely in better shape.

March 5th daily ditty. Today I installed the gas tank ring for my Bags Connection tank bag. Next was to install my hydration system. The foot peg screws had to be removed with a impact driver. To use my heated jacket I had to remove the SAE battery tender cable and replace it with a...

Last Christmas I bought a 17 FJR in Austin Texas. I left it with a friend in New Braunfels. So this is my ride it home trip report and I will post here as time permits. On March 3rd I flew from Spokane Washington to San Antonio Texas. I was one of the last to see my bag appear in baggage claim...

The question is how did you break your foot. Get well soon.

Check out my ride report from a few years ago.

Way to go Ray. I got out for the first time in 2020 a couple days ago. Roads were good. Whoo hoo.

I feel your pain.
