Ditto.  I have ridden maybe once (to the auto parts store and back) in 3+ weeks. Either it has been the weather or me having to do side work at my rental house for which I needed my truck and tools.  I definitely need some seat time this coming week to get prepared for some good long rides.

I may have to put my motorcycle seat in my truck to help with the conditioning  

I think I'm beginning to like your Weatherman OldFeller !  

With extra warm weather  ,  we may want a ride up to the 5000/ft. level ?  During the after-lunch time zone .

OK, time for me to try to say what I think I understand is gonna happen.

MEET UP SPOT     Lunch on Thursday is here .....  http://tellicokats.com/  ..... this is where we all 3 finally get together.

Dave is coming late Weds night, sleeping for as many winks as he can catch at the Dragon Parking lot whenever he gets there.

There is no Dragon breakfast that early, so Dave will get up and go down the hill to Kickstand, where he will ditch the car and the trailer and proceed from there on bike.   Being struck with some moderate heavy knee joint pain issues this week, I will be found blissfully pain medicated and stone asleep in the Kickstand Bunkhouse when Dave arrives.

(Dave is too dignified and has too high of a self-image to be using any shaving cream tricks or bread crust tricks on a drugged and snoring invalid)

Toss all my kit into Dave's trailer (no need to carry it on the bike all day) then we will proceed to take Dave's bike out and then go to Huddle House in Robinsville for breakfast and from there we go to ..... http://tellicokats.com/ ..... to meet up with MM for lunch.

MM remembers to "add an hour to his phone and wrist watch" for the time difference and he remembers to leave home a hour earlier accordingly.

We all get together for lunch then we proceed to go do it .....

If I leave before Thursday Morning then It will cost me a disaportanatly large amount of Honey-Dew Chips that I don't have ...  

Well, I done told you I was medicated and snoozing --- feel pretty good at the moment but it is now 1:02 AM (middle of my working day being all security time shifted and all).

I am full awake, typing and dealing with 3 kitty cats all lined up to be rubbed.

Cats are funny, I dosed them with flea stuff this afternoon and they are now all finished up mewling and crying and hiding and going rub crazy over the side effects (the flea stuff tears them up some it does) so now they are lined up at my keyboard to be rubbed and forgiven for whatever sins they did that caused me to dose them with the flea stuff (what they did had to been bad to have been disciplined so severely).   My orange and my gray are spitting and fighting over ownership of me again - they still haven't gotten the main idea yet that I own them not vice versa.

Sorry for not chiming in...been out of town and finishing up rental house projects this weekend (leaking water main...had to tear out and replace part of the sidewalk).  

I'm still in for arrival late Thursday. Have an eye appointment at Emory in Atlanta at 4pm. If it goes like last time, I'll be there forever. If I pull out of there by 6pm or so I can expect to arrive at KSL around 10pm taking into account a fuel stop and/or potty break along the way.

No - my humor is more along the lines of putting rabbit road kill testicles in MM's saddlebag......or pouring a small puddle of used motor oil on the ground under his Harley.
