I am really depressed being home right now. It has been raining here the last couple of days and I did enough riding in the rain the weeks I was gone and plenty of wind. When it clears up here I will be back to riding. I am working on getting my criminal background cleared out. I hired an attorney to get rid of my 1 felony and 3 misdemeanors from almost 26 years ago. My felony was attempt to Elude a police officer. I was doing 155mph and hour in a 65. My distributor snapped and I lost all power and had to stop. It is what it is. I have not been in trouble for years. This is a picture of the first house we lived in. It looks exactly the same except they added a parking spot in front of the house. It is the same color as it was almost 24 years ago lol. My wife and I had talked about going to those rocks for years but the last 2 times we were out there we forgot all about them lol. I made it out there on this trip. I rode in Temps from 36f all the way up to 85 so a little chilly to nice weather I rode in the pouring rain for a couple of days for hours on end. I rode for hours from Iowa to Nebraska it was like 45 mph steady with highs of like 75mph. I should of called it a day sometimes hours earlier but nope I just kept riding. I was averaging like 45mpg but in the wind it dropped down o 32mpg . I still had fun I wish I was still out there but I need a little break from my break. I'm going over to Washington near Olympia to a motorcycle race. It is on highway 101 and that starts in Olympia Washington and I have a dream of taking highway 101 from beginning to end. That was going to be the first long ride when we got out big boy bikes lol. She was going Harley Fat Bob and I Was going Indian Chief and that was what I got the 21st of April. I rode 3 weeks all over the place I rode all over a bunch of our bucket list rides we had planned to do together. I did them but I only did one in Arkansas and that was The Pig Trail. I should of went up further North but I know better to next time. I had a good ride even with all the weather. I did 5700 miles and some change. I am depressed to be home. I think I have a med manager appointment next week. Need him to start me on another anti depressant maybe bring me out of this hole. I also need some good weather to get out and ride.
