Friends From Ohio!!

I spent the morning at Crystal HD, first waiting for them to open, then waiting to see what they had to say about the bike. Just as I was getting the bike checked in, I received a text from the assistant service manager at Barracuda Harley. How convenient. I called him back to let him know about my troubles and he said to call him back after Crystal looked at it. Fortunately, the only problem was the oil filter was just about to fall off. They tightened it up, added some oil, and charged me a hundred bucks 😱. I called Barracuda back and they took care of the bill. Good on them. Some places won't do that, specifically Warhawk HD in Monroe, LA. Don't get service done there!

Anyway, while I was waiting for Crystal to open, a friend texted me. She saw my video about being at Crystal and even though they live in Ohio, they were literally 5 miles away from the dealership! So, I rolled out about 1030 and went to see them. They took me to a wonderful restaurant called the Freezer, which had the freshest peel & eat shrimp I think I've ever had and amazingly delicious New England style clam chowder 🤤🤤🤤. It was so wonderful to see them!!

We had to cut it short though because I had to be in Jacksonville this evening and I had about 300 miles to go because of my squiggling around to get photographs. The best one today was the Ecopassage Observation Boardwalk because...and I kid you now...there were buffalo! Who knew you could see 🦬🦬🦬 in Florida 🤯 ?!?! So cool!

I got to Jacksonville about 1900, and my roomie had already turned on the a/c for me 🤣. She knows me well! Really great day with no idiot drivers trying to kill me, even on I-10 👍.

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