Hey there, good to hear some Roscow...I think. Hey, I'm on the Norvasc and hctz for my b.p. Seems to work okay. They say I'm much better now...

As for having the stranger-danger heebie-jeebies? Well dang, our parents spent our entire childhoods filling us with the fear of strangers tearing our arms off and raping us with 'em, and feeding us razor blades in our Halloween candy...and then turning us loose in a world full of strangers. No wonder we're all freaked out! Gawwr!

Mines a touch beyond that. I've coped with it since I was a kid....and 99.99% of people would call it "shyness" But I'm just flat freaked out by people in meatspace. Family I haven't seen in awhile. Waiters, gas station attendants, ticket takers, random people in line waiting for stuff. Of course all the usual "shy" remedies followed...here meet this huge group of people. Hey all 488 of your cousins unexpectedly dropped by, go play with em. 27 years of that is enough.

Obviously I can cope. I manage to buy gas and the like. But it really really sucks. I'm hopin the lil blue pills make life easier. :D If not..then I'll just continue to cope, and work on my typing skills.

Holy assballs its been awhile hasn't it?

I've been riding and riding, then i go for another ride. Don't think i've moved my truck more than 15 feet in 3 months.

Got some new gadjets and pics to share with yall.

Image
Power outlet mounted to a holding strap on my new Marsee tank bag.
Image
Top down shot of my "custom" gadjet holders. The empty one on the bottom holds the camera.
Image
Shot of the inside and my 10$ 1into 3+usb cig splitter.
Image
Image
And thats the base. (before I took the tank off to mount it somewhat correctly.)

That bag kicks much butt. 93$ closeout in newenough right now. zips on and off in just a couple of seconds. buttloads of quick easy storage, see through lid to keep the rain off, and......empty pockets.

Some pics of a trip to one of my remote offices in Union WV.

Image
The ride down ... bleh. Interstate.

Image

Image

Image
Those are all from the same spot. (The driveway to some goodyear plant I think) Not bad eh?

Image

Image

The civ war statue at the end of town. The hills on the left are the same ones on the right from earlier.

Image

Image

Image

Image
The old mill obviously. No idea whats up with this place, but it's on my backroads return trip to the office.



Image
About midway between Hinton and Union WV. I stop here usually to snag a drink from the ever friendly coke machine.

Image

Image
That is the Dam that created the bluestone lake from the New River, Mile farther down the road the greenbrier and the New river merge. To give some idea of the ridiculous scale of this dam out in the middle of nowhere, check out the backhoe on the right hand side of the second pic. Thats at max mechanical zoom for my camera.

The dam pics at the end are taken from a beautiful little park that I was too stupid to take pics of. I'm working on getting video of the twisties going up the hills back toward my town. Maybe this weekend.

And if by any chance you would want to see the full size pics...

Bike is in good shape. Not riding at the moment. My bp pills are screwing with my equilibrium something fierce. I'd rather not be going down the road and have to argue with my brain that "No in fact the world did Not just flip upside down and curve to the right."

:x

Eh. I'll muddle through :)

Yeah that's not such a good feeling. Hard enough while driving, I can't imagine doing it while riding.
High BP? Easy fix, just let some out every day and you're good to go! :laughing:
