Back For a Day

Just back in town long enough to unpack from on trip and repack for Barrow. Of course, there was time for a couple of rides. After 3 weeks, it felt good to get on the Ural again. I had some errands to run plus the monthly Airheads get together at the Silver Gulch. One of the errands to pay for fuel oil that was delivered while we were out of town. Only 300 gallons of #1. That is almost 50-100 gallons less than we've used during the same period last year. I'd like to think that part of the savings is from the new hot water maker. More efficient use of the boiler than the old system.

PBC #24:
The ride in this video wasn't from today The next three videos will be today's rides. When I started to output the first video, I realized that I still had one more in the queue that I had forgotten to upload.

  1. It's always good to get back in the saddle isn't it? You seem busier now than before you retired though.

    1. It does seem that way but a lot of the business is of my own doing. That's much better.

  2. Glad you had time to stop at home for a shower before heading out again. Sounds like you are enjoying your 'retirement' and that's a good thing.

    1. Not very much time. But this seemed like the only time slot available.

      Yes, I'm not going to complain about retirement!

  3. Didn't even get to sleep in your own bed before heading out again?

    At least you got a ride in.

    1. I did. We got in Monday morning at 1:30am and I left for Barrow on Tuesday morning at 6:00am.

  4. Hitting a deer with a motorcycle is terrible enough, but a moose...I can't imagine the impact.

    1. A moose will total just about anything that runs into it. Even semi-tractors will get seriously damaged if not totaled. So you really need to watch out for them. Fortunately, this is a low snow year so there is less of a reason for them to be on the road except to get across.
