Maggie valley June 2019

I'm getting closer also. Finally got several mount positions back in Eddie's trailer. I have 4 foot of stagger to fit two Rockets if needed. With any luck that will balance thing out on each side of the axle. If not I can creat maybe 6 more inches of stagger, bur i like leaving 4 inches in the rear incase period. A few more tie downs and then its time to prioritize fund control. New roof top ac unit ? New GPS for the bike, or new quiet ride helmet ? Decisions Decision's :)

ROOFTOP AC cuts down on where you can park at times

Ok, I just hate to submit this post but it is late at night after a very difficult day.

I won't be there, as much as I want to be; and I really do mean that. It's going to be so much fun, with great camaraderie, incredible rides and the finest BBQ. One could not ask for anything more but it's just not in the cards for me.

I sent a note to Paul and gave him some of the background and again, I don't want to go into a lot of personal health issues but I am just living in a world of hurt right now, with some days barely being able to walk. The pain is unrelenting and with me all the time, even in the middle of the night. Even getting up out of a chair is a challenge. I don't know how I got to this point at 70 years old but I'm here. It's most depressing after a very active life and it is wearing me down.

I thought it would be a great alternative to fly to NC, rent a car, show up for the party and have a wonderful time with everyone, perhaps evening borrowing a bike for a short ride. However, even that would be a difficult challenge.

I'm truly sorry my friends. I know it will be a wonderful event and I so wish I could join you, to see old friends again and make new ones. But, it is simply not to be.
 
@Navigator Having been in these circumstances (for different reasons -- same end result) I encourage you to remain engaged, even if it must be for the time being vicariously. Analogous to the scene in "2001: A Space Odyssey" where the family on Earth sends birthday greetings to the astronaut headed to Jupiter, in either place, the connection is there, and you will always be a welcome partner, by whatever means.
