Rain,sleet and no snow thank god!

  Not off to the greatest start. I was looking at the weather yesterday in Grants Pass and it was like rain 3 days in a row. I can't really sit here for 3 days. All that  Planning! So with a little sprinkling off I went to the I-5 to begin this motorcycle ride for Vasculitis.

   It was now raining as I stoped in Medford, just barely gettin' started. So slowing down in the curves and holding on tight was the riding position of the day. I had to cover my face with my gloves when it started hailing. Putting on my hazard lights and riding about 30 mph to stop the sting of the hail on my face.

Official Coast to Coast trip.

Last week I took a little practice ride on the bike. Just to kinda see where I was at comfort wise. I wanted to go about 300+ miles with all the gear on the bike and such. I was planning on riding out of Glendale OR. and ride through the mountains over to Camas Valley (kind of a short cut) then pick up hwy 42 over to the coast.

After having a debate with my self over which road I was actually on. I finely headed up the mountain road. So things weren't off to the smoothest start. After riding up in to the mountains about 15 miles, guess what SNOW! I wasn't even thinking about that, but got soon reminded of where I was living. So back track to the I-5 out of Riddle OR.

 I finely got to Bandon and turned around to head back to Grants Pass. I ended up spending about 10 Hrs gone that day and traveled 378 miles. I guess I'm ready?

Next Week....

I bet you were expecting me to talk about the trip. No next week I am going to try and wake up with my dogs attitude! I'm talking about Buddy. Man even though he wakes up with a few aches and pains he is always grateful for life. Each day he wakes up he is ready for love, adventure (even though we may take the same walk, he is still as enthusiastic as ever) he never takes him self to seriously, and what ever else life throws at him .  He is content with his place in life at the moment, he' not worrying or fretting about the future. I have never ever seen him in a bad mood! EVER! I think if I wake up with Buddy's out look on life i will be a much happier person and enjoy life much more. Thanks Buddy
