California is what worries me, $5+ regular gas
Gas prices vary widely here, Drew. The Indian casino up north is selling regular for $3 and change, while here in Orcutt, it goes for $5.10. I've seen gas as high as $7/gallon in Death Valley and along US395 in the eastern Sierra. It costs more in SoCal than in NorCal. Supply and demand, the more people, the more gas costs. And the farther away the station is from the distributor, the more it costs.

Good Morning!!!! 68F @ 11:15AM. Cloudy early with peeks of sunshine expected late. High 73F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph.

You're an experienced pro at this kind of thing by now, Don. And it shows.

Glad your stepson is recovering so well, Paul. Dave Barr is an adventure motorcyclist that holds several round the world records, and that lost both legs in combat. He's got several books out on his trips, and now does motivational speaking, which is where I first met him. We all make our own decisions when it comes to riding motorcycles, right or wrong in other's eyes. I'll be quitting some day, but not anytime soon. It took some soul searching before I got back on after my big crash, FWIW.

Got the back patio and sides blown off and sucked up using an electric hand held shredder, yesterday first time in a long while I've had it out and it worked well. Not sure how long it'll last as the bark chips and sprigs of redwood needles were giving the shredder a workout.

Finished up washing the car, but not enough time to do the windows before I was due for dinner at a friend's house. The water here is hard, so got a lot of spotting. Time for one of those big RO systems I think.

SpaceX was supposed to launch another string of satellites last night around midnight, but decided it would be better to do it at 2AM instead. A real window rattler at my buddy's house, dog went nuts again, as usual. What a way to start the day.

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekends...

This morning someone came by and take away a couple of rusty planter boxes I was selling on Marketplace. I was hoping for $50 in my pocket and a big improvement for the front of the house. But the bottom fell out of one when we were loading it, and I ended up with only $25. But gone is good. Another guy was supposed to come by for an empty firewood pallet, but so far he's a no show. Why are people so flaky these days?

My Goldwing is still sitting in the barn. I should probably sell it, but in the back of my head, I still want to ride. Inner conflict.
A big reason for me leaving the SF Bay Area was the big crash I had. Just too many other nuts on the road to feel safe. And why I ended up in a very rural area, and in great motorcycle riding country. I'm in a urban area again, but it's a smaller town, and the country roads and great riding aren't far away. Not sure how that will effect my approach to riding, or if it'll end up motivating me to hang up my helmet sooner. Time will tell. FWIW, I've been gravitating to smaller, easier to handle, naked bikes in the past few years, so that may or may not make a difference in your decision to get back on or not.
