Day 1, 29July2025 - Last minute decisions

Today is Tuesday, July 29th, the Sturgis motorcycle rally starts on August 1st. We have been debating going all summer. Summers are short in the Northeast and we hate to miss all that is going on at home, but this may be our last chance to go to Sturgis and it is the 85th anniversary...we were there for the 75th. 

 Gabe is on paternity leave so, he can help Don with the marina....so, Sunday about 8PM we decided to go...of course we haven't done a thing to get ready.

Leaving in about 12 hours!


June spent a good part of Monday getting the food and other stuff together. 

I got Sleepers' garage to give the Serenity Falcon an oil change on Monday.  

I worked the marina on Monday and golfed...got home around 8PM to start packing. 

So Monday night, I loaded our very dirty HD and June's ebike into the trailer.  At 06:30 this morning, I greased the trailer bearings and was putting on my spare tire carrier, when June said "why not just put that in the trailer", DOH!

By 08:30, we are pretty much packed and plan to leave around 09:00.  I am sure in our haste we have forgotten something.

  2. Yup, all of the reasons why we shouldn't go seemed to get settled or were just not as important as an 85th celebration. Sturgis or bust!
