I finally am taking a break to post an intro. There has been a lot going on in my little corner of the world which means I really have no spare time. I'll try to summarize...
My son and his girlfriend, from San Francisco, have been in Minnesota since August. He has a new job and is able to work remotely. She is also working remotely at her same job for the time being. They will move on to Washington DC when the COVID coast is clear. We did a few trackdays with my bikes last Fall(their bikes are in storage in DC) and hope to do the same this Spring. I will try to put together a thread from our trackdays when I can. Bear in mind, you won't see my knee down...I have a ways to go before that will happen.
I have a 2018 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, 2003 Monster 620 Dark, 2020 KTM RC390 and my most recent Christmas gift a 2021 Panigale V2

. She is the big Little Sister of the family.
I also sold my VW Atlas and got a Ford Expedition. Now I don't have to be as careful about towing weight capacity. I also have more cargo space for hunting trips. I wanted to get a Defender(I loved the LR3 I had) but the Defender is too small and I don't like how they roll in the turns. The Expedition handles awesome. It also has deployable running boards. Important for my Mom and a friend battling brain cancer(he has physical deficits and I take him to therapy) to get in and out easily.
Meanwhile we have had some construction going on. There is a snowstorm that started today so roofers will be clearing snow off our new garage next week before shingling it. The concrete apron and driveway and a few interior finishes will have to wait till Spring. Covid caused so many material delays and frustrations. I keep telling my husband, who is very annoyed by this, "It will get done!"
Some of you know I am a Trump supporter. Talk about being annoyed...time to double down for the next election. As predicted, gas prices are already going up and it's only a matter of time before taxes will follow. We are not distracted by the rhetoric, the media shitshow, this poll and that. For us it's real life and the bottom line and it has only gotten better these past few years. We are bracing for what's to come these next few years and hope it's not too bad and that's as optimistic as it gets.
Lastly and on a lighter note, the avatar is a print my son and gf had done of our dogs for Xmas. Not something we would have had done but we love it!
