Happy St Patrick’s Day. Cheri headed out early this morning to get a corn beef to do in the crock pot so we could have corn beef and cabbage for supper. Then Cheri and Denise went shopping in Lakeland. I planned a motorcycle ride for today. Larry was sick and could make it, Mike said that he had other things that needed to be done, and Norm is gone for his daughter’s wedding. So it was just Ross and me for the ride. I was planning to ride to Leesburg but Ross said that he would like to ride to Ocala so I changed the route a bit and headed out. He wanted to stop at the used motorcycle parts place. At the time I didn’t know I was going to have to go there also. On the way up when I went to shift the motorcycle I couldn’t change gears. We got off the side of the road and checked and found that the shifting linkage had broken. I was able to use a cable tie to secure it back in place so we could continue our trip. We stopped at Wendy’s for lunch and this Wendy’s charged us for the senior drink. So my Chicken sandwich and drink cost me $2.12, not happy about that, should have been only $1.07. From there we headed to the used parts place and Ross got the fender trim he was looking for and I got the part for my shift linkage. We made a stop at the Harley dealer and then headed for home. We arrived home a little past 4:00 pm and had ridden 178 miles. After a wonderful supper of corn beef and cabbage that Cheri fixed for us we went up to Mike and Pam’s. They have been having a problem with their phone and internet service. After making several checks I found that there was an old Disk modem that was still plugged in and was causing the problem. Anyway after disconnecting it the internet and phone is now working. I told Mike and Pam if they still have a problem it has to be the modem that is for their internet service. I also check out a cabinet door that the hinge is coming off and I will have to go back with some different screws to fix it.
