• 2 Services, 1 Tornado, and a Birthday

    March 22, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 50 °F

    The past few days have been eventful.

    Sunday was laundry and adjusting my pack.

    Monday began with service for the RV's rooftop air conditioning that broke in December. The technician was 4 hours late for the appointment because they sent him on another job before mine even though I had made my appointment over a month ago for the first job of the day. It's a long, ugly story that ends with an emphatic "Never Use Camping World!" Once the technician left--no, it's not fixed yet--I was able to head to my mom's house for my brother's birthday dinner. I rode through some torrential storms and got the bike in the garage about 30 minutes before the tornado sirens went off 😳. Nothing happened where we were, but there was some activity in the area.

    See more here, particularly the video with the Chevy flipping then driving away 😳:

    On Tuesday, Willie got a new front tire and had his 90,000-mile service that included redoing the neck bearings. Don't ask how much it cost 😳. They also put on his new license plate! I spent the rest of the day catching up on snail mail and computer stuff. One of the packages that came was my Iron Butt Association Saddlesore 1000 certification. Yay!

    After a nice meal with mom, I've called it a night because I'm up early in the morning.

    So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
