Guys , I don't know what to say at this point.

How about I modify my plans around what the majority wants . I might get to enjoy two trips to Texas this year ? April seems like a long way off . You fellers put a trip together and I'll work around it . The Sure thing now is : I'll be at Good-Fellow AFB on the 17th - 19th with the wife.

I'm kinda excited about my son going into a "Career" , instead of just a "Job" (like I did). I'll be glad when he gets to "lite" at a base where he'll be for more than a few month so I can plan better. Planning with the wife makes it more "complicated" too ! Roll Eyes

I'll be keeping an eye out for how I can meet-up on this trip !

I want in and right now the only week I cannot make it is the week we move into our new building and when that will be I do not yet know. I will be royally annoyed if I have to cancel my riding plans again because of this building like I had to last year.

On my road trip last Friday, I was on I-77 in Virginia and I passed by the Blue Ridge Parkway at Fancy Gap, VA. The temperature was in the 30's most of the drive, and since I left at 4:30AM it was dark for a lot of the drive and the roads were very wet - but as I went through Fancy Gap and got on the south side of the mountain - the sun shown through the clouds, and I could see the entire valley covered in a thick cloud/fog layer.....with only the mountain tops poking through the clouds. It was really surreal looking - and there was no place to pull over and look so I just pulled out my cell phone and started clicking pictures without looking......and I hoped that at least a few of the photos would turn out OK. It is pretty amazing that they have been able to hang an interstate on the side of this mountain!

I looked at the weather for this part of the Blue Ridge....and the overnight temps don't get into the 50's until June......a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway shouldn't be done any sooner than that if you are sleeping in tents!

Hay That's impressive Dave ! Cool

So , June or July for a Blue Ridge ride . No hurry on that .

.....................................

I was checking the Farmers Almanac for favorable weather in south Texas

Well, mike, get out your almanac see what the weather will be like for the week before or after the 18th.
I can work around your plans if I have enough time.
I'd prefer after myself.

It looks like May 13 - 25 is the Riding weather , but I suspect thats past the peak desert bloom time

I'd like to check the long range weather for the area on OldFellers weather map too . I'll try to get that done during this cold snap we're having.

Accuweather has posted their predictions for april/may...

https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/kerrville-tx/78028/april-weather/335918?mon...

and I'm looking at my schedule and thinking late may ain't looking too good.
A week anywhere in between april 7 and the 20th looks good to me.

Post your preferences and let's work out a schedule.

The Accuweather forecast looks good for me to leave Tn. Saturday the 13th , stay in Natchez Ms. Saturday night and get to Kerrville Sunday night.
Then do the reverse the next Saturday morning.
I'd like to try to find company for the ride . Two days on the road is more fun with company.
The odds of finding a ride partner with a LS-650 is slim , so does it matter what kind of machine a person shows up on ? I might even have to find somebody on a "Harley- Embarrassed

" or maybe a "Goldwing- :" Roll Eyes

Hay ! It could be somebody on a BMW even ? Huh

You know we don't discriminate... they might have a hammer, a roll of duct tape or an adjustable metric wrench in time of need.

Except a Slingshot.. unless they are willing to carry beverages, spare parts, tools, beverages, lunch, gasoline, extra clothing that we discard as it gets warm, and.. beverages.

Well , my son is now looking at two weeks later for graduation . That would make graduation sometime in May . So , it appears anytime is alright in April.
His knees have gotten tired of so much PT. , walking everywhere , etc. So the medic person told him to take a two-week brake but he still has to walk to the eating place and everywhere else ? Roll Eyes

HIS knees are tired ? ?
So the medic put him on light duty ?
Did he injure or damage them them in an accident ?

If on light duty he is still walking. Light duty does not mean he is ambulatory which means he cannot walk at all.

NO , they call it "Casual" , or as I understand it " put off the training schedule and on stand-by" , for two weeks . Knees tired of being abused.

No accident , Just the same thing the "Peace-Time" military has always done , Training without regard to knowing when " enough is enough " . Don't tell me you never saw this before . Grin

Its common enough that the medical officer knew what it was and what to do automatically like it was a very common thing ... Wink

The sense able thing would have been : NO "PT" , continued training , but that has nothing to do with doing things the "Military Way".

Main thing is : I can go ridding in April now .
