Movin' On, One More Time...

You take a breath, take your shot and see what comes.

Last year I stayed out on the desert and worked on my writing during the annual Tucson Bead Show trip. This year, I thought I'd come over this way and ride a lot while she did her show business...

Then... I find a big hole in a tire where no holes should be... Yet.

OK, get a new tire, no problem... Except there aren't any in Arizona, except for the brand I decided had quality issues I needed to get away from...

Again, OK, order the new Good ones. Buuuut, that takes time :( a costly thing for a guy returning to the impatience of his younger days!)

Bottom line? It's nice here in Catalina... To a point. Would be nicer if we'd been hiking and riding more... And doing Bead Show business less ;)

... Trip and fall into the trap of frustration...

But then again, a guy who has been fortunate enough to have assembled a way to make a living that keeps him "Free" on the road... Even if the budget does Insist on staying razor thin...

... Shouldn't complain too loudly... Just enough to keep himself pushing the envelope!

And of course, enough to keep him Running against the wind... Or... Riding that Suh-Wheet motorcycle in the Wind!

... if I can get these new tires mounted up!

We're hauling back to Phoenix today... Med. Appointment in the capital city... And a good spot to strip the wheels off the Raider.

Just taking one more shot... And another... And another...

Good, the tires made it to ya! Movin' isn't so bad if you can get those tires on the bike and you can roll out for more than just a test drive. Find a good parking spot, with some zooming around areas and you will drown out some of the 'waiting' frustrations.

Well glad to see you posting again. I was beginning to be afraid the mountain lion had gotten you or you had been hiking and fell in a big old deep hole and was just waiting for Heidi to notice that you were gone. LOL Hope the new tires work out for you.
