Thanks Bill. Sorry I've been non-existent lately. I was very happy to post these pics because I had a great time at home.
Then I get back to work and the fun begins with packing out all the support equipment and launching these jets to go back to Florida. Not forgetting to mention I have to pack out of my apartment, pick up my Honda Pilot with new transmission and load my bike.
After my ride to Roswell, I noticed a leak coming from the left side of the fork brace. I'm thinking one of the fork seals needs replacing which means I should replace both.
Now that I think of it, I'm going to check on the costs of a storage unit because I don't want my bike to sit while I know all these minor maintenance items need to be taken care of...and I can do them myself!
Well, we work tomorrow and it's also my birthday. I'm gonna do an over-nighter in El Paso and celebrate the way I always do. I think you know me well enough to know, "how I do".
Holler at you later! :dancing:

Happy BDAY ED, take care in EL Paso ya hear lol.
Yup sounds like the fork seals are going and yeah, replace them both. It is about a 3-4 hour job. It's not that hard to replace them, just need a couple home made tools to do it with. Don't know when your leaving, though we probably could do it before you leave. I may have a ride the July weekend of the 12th to FT Stanton north of Ruidoso. Other then that, I pretty free.
Parts you'll probably need, fork oil, two seals and probably the fork bushings inside, they probably have never been changed out.
Too Much Going On
Too Much Going On
Thanks for my Birthday greeting. I always feel good on this day: "nothin' gonna break my stride".
We are tentatively due to leave 11 July...don't know yet if it will be extended. I have alot of work to do on the bike yet...
1. replace the valve cover gasket (leaking) & I will replace the cam gasket too
2. cam-chain tensioner (remove/replace o-rings/springs)
3. replace fork seals/bushings/oil
4. adjust clamps that connects carb to primary airbox
I'd have to pay extra to have the parts shipped to my Apt because I move out on 10 July.
It's a tight schedule and I still have work duties to that will consume most of my time. I'll be driving back to Delaware (which will take 3 days) and then I have a report to Tyndall AFB date of Monday 21 July. I want to take my bike too so I can do all the maintenance but I'd have to reserve a Storage Unit because I'm going to be in a Hotel for 2-3 months. (Company Card)
So as you can see, lots going on in my life atm. I was gonna go to LA for the 4th of July but it simply wouldn't work with all that I have to do.
I'll enjoy my Birthday Night in El Paso--my birthdays have always been memorable nights. Let's hope this one is no different.
Seeya Buddy!

I was at work yesterday...when I wrote that reply about thread names. My poor bike...I need to fix her so she doesn't stay in there too long.
My life has changed considerably since I retired from active duty. I'm having more fun and trying to stay around positive people--you happen to be one of them Bill.

First Travel Day

First stop...OKC...stayed at the Howard Johnson/OKC Airport. Not bad for the price; and they have a mini fridge! Believe it or not, I've stayed at hotels that cost about the same and they had no where to keep my drinks cool.

Spending my 2nd night in Jackson, TN.
Wow! I'm really out of my element. Interesting place is all I have to say. I've got a 14hr drive tomorrow (893 miles). Also, I want to stop at 2/3pm (depending on which time zone I'm in) to watch the World Cup Final.

Making some good time there. Jackson TN? Humm, I believe that is where I stayed on my trip to NC some years back.
Sunday - WC Final Day in Knoxville, TN
Sunday - WC Final Day in Knoxville, TN
I drove 300 miles in 5 hours (yeah, that's probably slow for most) and wanted to watch today's World Cup Final. So I stopped in Knoxville, TN and I must say, it's much more of a place that I'm use to. (Not gonna explain that one)
Anyhow, I got a smartphone special rate hotel for $40 at the Red Roof Inn. I give it a thumbs up.
I'll start my 580 mile drive to Dover tomorrow. It won't leave me much time to do anything but sort out all the boxes/bags/tools/tv and other things in my truck. And then I have to check out my "T" and clean her up before I depart for FL this Saturday.

Having breakfast and watching The Weather Channel...not looking good for clear weather. Thunderstorms await me all the way to Dover!
On a good note, TWC showed Rehoboth Beach as a point of interest. I love that beach boardwalk where I chow down on Crab Legs/Blue Crab.

Not A Bad Drive and A Surprise!
Not A Bad Drive and A Surprise!
I had to go through one rough part of hard rain in Virginia but other than that, not too bad of a drive to Dover.
Well, after going through the DC Belt loop and reaching the Bay Bridge, I decided to get in touch with Cheryl for a possible visit. It all worked out!
I got to meet Cheryl and her son Matthew and of course the little GS450L. Of course I didn't think to take pictures (duh). I was too busy being hungry but Cheryl had made enough dinner to share with me. Great cookin' btw. Baked chicken and white rice...with a side of pizza that she baked for her son.
So I've met MrBill, RonA, and now Cheryl. Three GS members! Pretty cool man.
Well, I'm tired...gonna unpack tomorrow but right now it's a beer and SportsCenter.
