6:00 AM to 6:00 PM

JASON'S BLOG POST
Went through a long tunnel and Jon said that he was fulfilled.
Everybody ordered hamburgers for lunch; Jason and Ben had 1 pound-ers. Jon had a salad...we figured it was the presence of the grandma bike, hopefully it will wear off soon and Jon will start eating meat with the rest of us.

Started off at 45 degree temperature and ended up at 90 degrees. It was a day of taking off stuff. Bikes ran good, few mechanical things need to be taken care of; Jason's throttle grip needs to be glued on. To make his bike go he had to squeeze it so it wouldn't slip. 

Jason read one book today; "Science of Being Great" (highly recommended)
Grandpa listened to the Statler Brothers for the "N"th time....

Ben has difficulty with the blinkers, he turns them on very good but is a poor turner-offer. Consequently, he thinks his CB name is: "Hey! Blinker!"

GRANDMA'S OBSERVATION
The blinkers (turn signals) on my bike are programmed to stay on for at least two miles past the turn!  This is how they work and they have been doing it for well over 9,000 miles!
It is all in the genes!
Ben....Stay Strong....Fight the Criticism
