Hey, now, August's been fun! We've been on vacation the entire month, that's why. Unfortunately, vacation has to end, mine ends in another day. The bus company is "welcoming me back" in typical fashion; I have a 16 hour day my first day. I'll be REALLY wishing I was back on vacation, after 1 day on the job. Oh well, there's bills to be paid, and the whole idea here is to keep working towards our retirement, so we can be "on vacation" for the rest of our lives. Boy, does that sound good! Anyhow, we had a great visit with our daughter and two grand-daughters in New Mexico, and I enjoyed day rides on the motorcycle (it came along in the bed of the pickup), as well as a 3-day drive in the truck to see relatives in Colorado Springs, Denver, and Fort Collins. Originally, that was supposed to be a "ride", on the bike, but inclement weather forced a change of plans. Jacqueline stayed with her daughter and grand-daughters, except she did get in one day ride with me, the day before we returned to San Diego.
The original vacation plans had me meeting my brothers Tim and Rob in Gunnison for a week of riding, but a medical emergency with Rob's son deep-6'd that plan. I had to scurry to improvise another plan, but it all worked out pretty well. Pictures and video are posted on my webpage.
