Overall it was a good experience, but I left home at 7:30 and got home at 5:14.
RNA was not amused.
You should buy your next house closer to Fredericksburg. Like in Stafford or something. Cheaper, too.

Not a bad plan - except that if I was down there I wouldn't have a BMW because I'd be collecting unemployment and be permanently out of work.
On second thought - that plan has merit and could work - at least for the next 2 1/2 years.

Find a job that lets you mostly work from home.

You were out of her hair for most of the day -- what is not to like?
Next time, DIY?
I'll hang around and pontificate.

I don't think it was the $618 - it was being cooped up with the little kids again for the whole day and not getting a break.
How 'bout next time you come over and baby sit while T and Dot go get facials and i fix the bike myself.

Saturday/Sunday may be a good day for a spin (for me). Chime in if your schedule allows. . ..
Or....
I may try to install a top case. Rumor has it is just four bolts, but we all know how projects often expand to fill the day....

Joey: I'm sorry, I'd like to keep my record clean and I'll do better in the future.
Judge: Your fine will be $70 plus court costs of $62. You can pay at the window.
What a waste of time!
I will ride this weekend, but I hear Sunday may rain.

Hi Guys, haven't been on for a bit due to work, but I don't need a facial (thanks anyway, DNA!) but would love to chat with T & your adorable kids...but nevertheless, if weekend is good, my (hot) ducati needs a run while it is still cool out. Still not convinced I like the bike due to the heat issue, but I'm ready to go out...of course, after the hair appointment....

We will be heading down 81 to 250 and down 220. Know the road? Vaguely...
Should be a nice weekend, even if it is in the car.

Dude... I started getting giddy till you said the c word.
Might as well get off on 33 and take that over to 220 and save yourself some 81. You certainly won't save yourself any time by taking that section of 250

I know - it actually adds about 20 minutes - but I like it.
Some part of the vacation has to be fun for me too.

Cleaning the hurl swirl out of the carpets after taking the fam across 250 will keep you entertained.

Skipped 250 - 42/39 was fun enough.
Wasn't that the road Dale slid across swept up and continued on?
Going backwards it felt similar though...

Unless there is a tremendously strong preference for Saturday, Sunday am works. Saturday later am could work if nothing else is open (like 10 or later).
I will check early tmrw am and ride accordingly.
