Good morning! An interesting day. Warm! A great day for riding, and not only did I return the salute to many other bikers this day, signs of spring abounded. Olds park had it's home opener with the Lugnuts this afternoon, and the place was packed. As torn up as Michigan Avenue is at this time I thought people would not bother, but evidently people are hungry for baseball. At least, hungry for baseball not rife with endless speculation concerning whether this player or that player happens to be loaded up on steroids. And, as for signs of spring, most ladies have removed a layer or two, which is not at all unpleasant. Also, I spotted my first 'Vette today, almost a sure sign that spring is in the air. I believe most 'Vette owners wait until the motorcycles have been out a month before even dusting off their vehicles. And, I spent part of today riding the bike wearing just a t-shirt under my leather.
I made a trip to Hunt's Hog Shop today with the intention of picking up a new helmet, and wound up leaving with a set of tires, thanks largely to the fact that Mark has them on sale, and that I will soon need a set, front and back. I have not replaced the front tire on the bike since I have owned it. This, however, will be tire # 4 on the back wheel, which I believe says something about my driving habits. It also pleases me to spend money elsewhere than at Capitol HD, when I possibly can. Also, I had a good time visiting with Mark, Tim, Gary, & a bunch of other folks I used to associate with on a regular basis and now seldom ever see.
Time, I believe, for a bit of a walk around the neighborhood before bed. It is very pleasant to stroll about and not have to dress for freezing weather. OF course, I am less likely to have the streets all to myself, but, I guess that is the price you have to pay.
