Hi Guys,
This Saturday (10/2) I am leaving for Montana to care for my father--age 91. Basically either I go over there or he goes into hospice, and while I can help him avoid it, he will never to into hospice. Period.
So I will be there for as long as I can provide him some sort of dignity and respect in his final battle. He's a fighter and hopefully will be here a long time, and I'm deeply grateful for this chance to pay him back a little for all he has done for me. In his day he was an Indian and Harley rider, and took me for my first ride ever, sitting me on the tank of an old Harley, I don't know what kind, but it had a tank shift, and I was amazed, frightened and lost to motorcycles for the rest of my life.
So I will check in, especially until everyone has their memorial patch. It will just be occasional, as time permits. And instead of rebuilding my XS"D" this winter, I will be doing important work, and loving every minute, even when it is less than perfect.
I'll be checking in, Guys, but this comes first. (And I have two spare patches, if anyone still wants one.)
