In the news: The Barbster & I were very pleased to have Mr & Mrs Zaster as our guests last week here on Florida's Gulf Coast. Much eating, drinking & laughing, and a day trip by ferry to Key West. They will be back this week on their way to Albuquerque.

L'Scott and I are heading for the track Monday for a practice day.
My R is in the shop. DNA finally decided to fix the swingarm issue after I called Italy.
Hope she is done by next week with weather warming up.

Good to hear both that you are starting with track and also that the R is finally getting the service right!

Barbara and I will be flying to ABQ the night of July 3, so we will be around for July 4 cocktails. Cannot wait to see you all. We leave the 15th.

Official: House here in NY is up for sale: http;//tinyurl.com/htkpzvn. Market here is over-supplied with homes for sale, so it may take a while to actually sell. In the meantime, we'll continue to enjoy this very pretty place.

Hurry up Nic! Your bike misses you...  (And is running beautifully I might add...)

Your tax dollars at work: DoD's Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the people who brought us the Internet & ga-zillion other things, commissioned prototypes of stealth motorcycles:

The Princess of Passion & Painand I  head your way Sunday night. Can't wait. Anything interesting going on for the 4th? Park Central? We're up for some fun. I just put a lot of medical stuff behind me, so it will be good to hang with some hooligans.

Another thing on my mind: Maybe selling the '01 Monster & getting an ST in reasonable shape & pretty even money in value. I turn 71 next week & thinking of a different riding experience. Let me know if any of you come across a likely candidate.

 

[Cloner]

Not a lot of STs around, but I'll keep an eye out for ya.  Do you have a preference as to which one?  I like ST3....but I'm kinda funny that way.

[nicrosato]

Stuff.... Stuart has convinced me to keep the Monster. It was partially his verbal persuasion, but mostly the fact that, with the bike in his hands, it is running & looking better than ever. Bravissimo, Senor Baker.

Friday night, July 8: Hankering to catch some live music while I'm out here. Two choices: The Sheraton Uptown (Louisana Blvd just north of Menaul) is advertising jazz-blues starting at 6:00 PM. Probably in the lounge. The Stone Face Tavern (San Pedro north of Paseo del Norte) is featuring the Mystic Vic Blues Band start at 8:30.

Contact me if you'd like to meet up.

[Zaster]

Sorry, we have company. Pam's sister is coming down for a concert

[nicrosato]

We faded  anyway & didn't follow through our own plan.  Going to Magdalena tomorrow.

[Duck-Stew]

Nic-a-saurus:  Another awesome visit albeit a short one.  I'm so glad the Mostro was running to your satisfaction!

The missus & I (and everyone else) eagerly await when next we can enjoy each others company.  Be well until then!
