Today is the first day of our vacation to celebrate the 40th wedding anniversary and the 50th anniversary of my being in this country.
We started out rather late in the day, at 2:15 PM because we watched our new Jacuzzi-style tub being installed in the downstairs bathroom. It is rather huge and was very heavy for Mark, the contractor Don, and our son in-law to put in place. Hopefully we will have many days to enjoy it after our vacation.
The weather was nice and crisp but we faced a constant head-wind which changed to blow from the side, just to keep things interesting. The mileage dropped drastically, enough to make me wish for a much larger gas tank, maybe later. The destination was Don and Catherine's camp in Potter County, Pennsylvania, which at 300 plus miles, is close enough to call a good test ride. As it turns out we packed to much stuff and were hopelessly overweight. We shed some of that weight and asked Catherine to bring it home with her. Chris and Sarah were there, so Mary was very happy. I took them both for a ride in the sidecar, which they both enjoyed.
This rig is performing fine, although the additional weight is definitely noticeable. My arms ached after finishing today.
