I got a week ahead of myself and called Scooter World yest to schedule Peej's spring tune up. I thought that today was the 23, which meant next Sat was busy and the next-next I travel. Except we all know that I looked at the wrong day in my calendar. Oopsie.
Otoh, it just means I'm ahead of the crowd and already have my scoot all tuned up and ready to go. Bonus part, they give a March Madness discount--25% off the tuneup. So I save about $20 by jumping the gun here.
Bad thing was it wasn't 57° at 10:00 when I drove there, it was closer to 40°. Good thing is I had the nice red jacket Mom had picked out when we stopped (for some reason I don't remember anymore) at Reno Yamaha. "Look, it's the same color as that thing!" So even though I already had the mesh jacket and the beautiful white leather jacket, I got the red one. How do you tell your Mom no, when she's being enthusiastic about something she doesn't really approve of? I should'e worn the leather, but I couldn't find it quickly. That's ok, Mom's love wrapped up inside the red jacket kept me warm enough.
I was a tinge concerned about not having driven for almost a year, and jumping right into the deep end driving to the shop without practising around the neighborhood first. But after the first few turns and a tiny bit of stomach-clenching, it all felt fine again. Like that near-year layoff never happened, nor the year before that when workman's comp pretty much forbade it.
Other good news is this is motivating me to clear out the garage. I couldn't back Peej in to plug back into the battery tender without moving my car out of the way. So I need to get rid of the boxes my bro had moved into the other half.
YIPPEE!! MARCH MADNESS IS HERE, AND SPRING IS RIGHT BEHIND!!! RIDING SEASON IS ALMOST COME!!!!
