Led class at the Dojo tonight.

Am now lying here next to my dog. Tonight may very well be her last night.

Already have a couple, compliments of Uncle Sam. I've also learned that I can snap the drinking tube under the sleeve adjusters to keep it in easy reach while riding and fit the actual nozzle under my helmet into my mouth so I don't even need to remove my helmet to drink.

Glad to see you made it back, Wrecks, and look forward to seeing the pics. I assume they'll be in your blog (if not already there)?

They are going to send me new riding pants.
I got mine packaged up and ready to take to the post office tomorrow.

Nice to know they stand behind their product.
Always good to know that companies stand behind their products, but can be a real PITA to have to find that out for yourself. Glad it all worked out for you tho, B2C.

Truly sorry to hear that, Pacific. My sincerest condolences.

And in closing, I got caught in a Tucson monsoon tonight on my way home from work. In under 5 minutes there were puddles several inches deep. Suffice it to say, there was approximately 3 square inches of my flight suit that weren't completely soaked. Then I took my truck out and did some puddle jumping and mud-hopping. Good times, good times.

Just got back from the vet. Had to make the decision to put my best friend down today. Definitely one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.

Rest in peace, baby girl.

That just plain sucks Pacific.... Sorry don't cut it, but I'm sorry anyway.

Having to put your dog down is one of the worst things a person ever has to do. Even if it is for the best for the old girl.

Hang tough.

That's rough. I've had my little Schipperke for a few years, and although its hopefully many years from now, I dread the day I might have to put him down.

On an unrelated note, today I drove down to Deer Park to get a new belt for our riding lawn mower. Got stuck waiting for what seemed to be a 10 mile long train, just to find out the shop was closed.

Sorry to hear about your puppy Pacific. :cry:
Our rottie passed away a year and a half ago and I still miss him.
It's hard to lose a best friend.

Sorry to hear about your pup/friend Pacific. My dog passed away when I was in Phoenix, and I still automatically look for her when I go home.

As for me, I discovered a KX450F can and will do wheelies with no clutch. Also discovered that weights on CVTs can disappear randomly.

drove back from grandma's house in a 100+ degree furnace, checked the boards, replied and possibly earned myself a short-term ban. time will tell.

I haven't seen anything posted for which to be banned.

If you can make it to Vancouver (or colorado mid August)...sure...I'll show you what it takes to pack. :lol:

I rode a Honda Valkyerie yesterday. :shock:

I rode up Cypress mountain today (on my V-star)
