Short but good

My ride from Fayetteville NC to Columbia SC was another cold day, so I cut it short, dropped all the routing points for the recommended rally route, and beelined stop to stop. I wound up getting to Haven HD Northwest of Columbia around 1130.

After finishing a couple of adulting things that had to be done, I went to Cycle Gear. I have a headset on my helmet that Bluetooths to the motorcycle, and the microphone literally broke off a couple of days before I left on this trip. I searched a couple of the Harley dealerships for a replacement, but it's an older model that they don't sell anymore. It's Sena; they only sell Cardo now.

I wanted to get the same model so that I could use the old receiver on the new base. Since I listen to music non-stop while I'm riding, my receiver's power supply only lasts about half the day. Having a new receiver base that also fits my old receiver would give me two receivers, which theoretically should last me the whole day.

Amazingly enough, Cycle Gear had a newer version of my headset, and my old receiver fits on the new base! The great news is now I have two receivers! The horrible news is every time I switch them, I have to forget the Bluetooth connection and pair the new set. Every single time I change them. I didn't have time to mess with it tonight, but there's got to be a better way. An easier way. 🤞

We had a really great dinner at Haven HD, barbecue with all the fixings. I met a representative of Law Tigers named Jay who did a quick little video of my story, and I'm hoping he can put me in touch with some of his counterparts who perhaps can do a little sponsoring by gas cards or something like that to help ease the cost of this massive ride.

Also, one of my long distance riding buddies lives nearby--Haven is his Harley dealership--so he popped in right as we were finishing up and we got to chat a bit before they kicked us out.

I putzed around my bike until everybody left, then I set up camp and I am just about to crash. It was a good day.

Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️
