The Home Board

Today's task was to try out an idea I had to replace the missing side panels on the bike. They ARE available used...for $200...per side... :o :shock: The CFO here at Cheap Charlie's Motorcycle Emporium ain't gonna go for that. On a rare and valuable bike? Sure. On a mass-produced Honda that won't re...

I'm fine with posting that here.

I see all the same things at the clinic I use. Most of all, they do an excellent job of time management. Never waited past the appointment time and about half the time get in early. VERY pleased with the care.

All the kids/grandkids had previous plans so we're having a quiet Thanksgiving. Which, frankly, is fine by me. We see everybody pretty regularly so it's not a big deal.
