Good Morning All:
Yes, Yes, YES. On the road again. Left Tuesday around noon from Chelan. For the first time in my several years of traveling to MO for the Annual Spyderfest I am ryding with a fellow Spyder owner, Dave aka lwrydr, his first trip to Spyderfest and his wife didn't want him going alone. Oh dear Dave may have just been in better "hands" alone!
We stopped Tuesday afternoon in CDA, ID and spent the evening with my family. Always an enjoyable time..Dean is an excellent cook and he did himself proud with his cooked all day spaghetti sauce and to die for salad...
Left Weds. a.m. around 7:30 (enough time to stop at Dutch Bros Coffee and get my start to he day. Tom aka showies from Spokane area met In CDA with the good news/bad news. He made it to meet us and the bad that there was storm ahead and he decided against ryding with us to St. Regis. His bad news turned into good news for us...apparently that storm that we could see in front of us stayed right there as we never had a drop of rain...stopped at St Regis for fuel for both spyders and ryders. Dave's ryde likes to get fed more often than mine (yea 1330 engine!!!)..so we did a very easy...took several breaks...401 miles. Had one threatened storm so we fueled up and suited up...yep the squall lasted a couple miles with side winds. BUT the good news I got to "beta" test that New RAIN X Plastic stuff. Hey it works...NICE...huge improvement as I had used it on both my windshield and face shield.
Arrived Livingston...gave motel directions to Dave and his GPS..he says aaaaaa that yellow sign right there!!! We had stopped right in from of the motel's sign!!
Highlights of yesterday's ryde from Dave: OMG did you see that (he was in lead)...that was a first for me!!! He got MOONED. :yikes: lol His other highlight was egads my butt is TIRED!!!
My highlights? Nothing new here, but I always am sooo grateful to be ryding and then right behind that is the awesome people we get to meet and interact with. Second highlight. This little low priced motel (Parkway) room was spotless with big soft fluffy towels and ironed sheets...that's right ironed sheets!!!!!
OK getting ready to head to Douglas, WY...gonna put another layer of toughness on Dave's butt...see you next time...
Ryding safe and loving life....
Oh yes for you that are wondering....so far so GREAT on trailer...I have measured tread depth twice. No change and both tires the same. By 500 miles I would have been looking to replace right tire with the left not to far behind...so I started with "yea, we'll see if it is fixed" to this morning progressed to "cautiously optimistic"!!!!:clap:

Everyone knows I love the snow, but come on, it's time for sun and warmth.
