Two wheelin’ (the easy way)
A drizzly day, with heavy rain forecast tomorrow, the day I head north to Las Vegas to meet my son for a motorcycle adventure. I decided to trailer the Goldwing to Vegas, so today I wheeled the trailer around to the garage to pump up the tires. While I was at it I decided to […]
We wanted more rain, and for once our prayers are being answered: Hurricane Odile is moving up Baja California.
