Dad's cousin Tom rode his Harley from Ohio to see him. Well, he actually came to see his granddaughter get baptized in Iowa, but he made an extra effort to stop for a visit with Dad. Scott took Dad and Tom to Capitol Brewery but they mostly spent time in the driveway admiring Tom's bike. Tom put 45,000 miles on that bike in two years. Dad was impressed.
Sadly, Dad made the decision just yesterday to sell his own motorcycle. He'll probably never be able to ride again because he will be on a blood thinner for the rest of his life due to his history of blood clots. In his own words, "Gosh, I worked for 40 years to get a motorcycle and now I can't ride it. Easy come, easy go."
Glad to see Bill looking so fine! Wish he could've gotten a ride, but nice to be outside admiring one. I remember when my grandpa sold his airplane (to my dad) he said he didn't want to see the day when someone else told him he couldn't fly, so did it on his own. Bill I applaud you on making the decision so early, hopefully that will open a door to some other passion you didn't know was there.
