A Scary Phone call puts a halt to the trip for now

     We received an unexpected and scary call Sunday. My son Mike was discovered to have a pulmonary embolism and admitted to a hospital  ICU in Tampa, Florida.  Pulmonary embolism  (PE) is a sudden blockage in the arteries of the lung.  The trip is off for now as I left North Carolina this morning and flew to Tampa to be with him.
     I'll post an update once everything settles down.

Still in a Rain Delay

     Not much to report except one more day of keeping the bikes dry as rain storms continue to surround Asheville, North Carolina.   We did what seemed the second best thing to do.  Open a bottle of wine and burn some steaks.
     Chef Dan cooked them to perfection and we feasted with hopes of hitting the highway the next morning.
     Tomorrow is a new day and we're expecting better weather.
