Title: A quick trip around THE HAM
Post by: dredman on May 24, 2017, 05:24:59 PM
What a fantastic day,  I was so lucky to be able to run around finally on the bike.  I just fixed the oil leak the other day, after a few weeks of sitting (riding was low priority), and I discovered how tender my fanny had become from not riding – it happens quickly.

After only a few miles I realized what amazing weather it was, I think it was around 65 degrees at 10:30 this morning, and brisk and windy was the standard.  Homewood, downtown, then back down to Hoover, and a big backwoods loop to McCalla to pick up some steel...on the scoot.  Sure would have liked to spend more time riding but I had a couple projects I needed to finish up, so later in the week? 

It is good to be back in Alabama!

I have tasted the life of a Nomad, and I REALLY like the flavor!  So, I am visiting Alabama for a few weeks, maybe more since I have a lot of things to do while I am here.  I decided that ALabama is not that bad, just that I am pissed I spent most of my life here, and missed out on so much AWESOME stuff.
