Despite monsoon rains, desert heat, fog, snow and freezing temps, I am home. Just before 3 PM I pulled up the driveway to an open garage door & an electric cord (for trickle charger for the BB)).
What joy to unload the gear & have my family greet & help with getting me inside. The bath is drawn, the soup and g&t are tubside. Couldn't be happier after the 4 coldest riding days I can ever remember. It is one thing to go for an hour jaunt in winter, another to commit to 4 or 6 hours in the saddle at highway cruising speed.
I hope the weather warms up this week so I can get BB over for an oil change and check-up for winter.

Welcome Home
Welcome home, safe and sound, albeit a bit chilly. Followed you daily with admiration and envy. There's nothing like the open arms of family and a G&T to end a perfect journey.

It's a real Thanksgiving
Just got caught up on your adventures. Must have been really cold down the stretch.

So glad you made it back for Thanksgiving!

Shelly had her shoulder replacement surgery a few days after you left. Went really well and the recovery so far has been easier than we expected. When you saw us we were both really nervous about the operation.

Please give my best to David and Andrew and kudos galore to you for crossing this great land both ways!

Regards,

Bob

Re: It's a real Thanksgiving
Yes, It is a real Thanksgiving! I am so happy to be back in Boston with family and friends. Thank you, Bob and Shelly, for the update on the the surgery. So glad to hear that it's gone well and the recuperation is better than expected.
We all have so much to be thankful for, it is a good thing to have a day to consider our blessings.
