Several folks deserve some special recognition for different reasons.

"Ya'll are great!"
All the guys at Town and Country Motorsports in Murray, KY.

I appreciate the QUICK service.

My church family at Fairfield Baptist in Eugene, OR who are continually lifting me
to "the throne of grace" for a safe and fun trip!

The wonderful folks of Kingston and Harriman, TN who took great care of me

WEST KY PITSTOP Part 2 Sept 15-19

Days #36 -40
Saturday Sept 15 - Wednesday Sept 19

I arrived last night in West KY (See yesterday's notes) after only 1 week
back on the road. Not my plan, but just the way it worked out.

I ran my errands on Saturday, including purchasing a small ceramic
heater for my trip up into the northeast. I spent Sunday repacking
my trailer. I pulled over 30 lbs of things out, purging my gear of all
the things I had not used, or used very little on the first part of the
trip.

I spent Fri - Sun nights in Symsonia, and Mon - Wed nights in Murray
at my sisters. I dropped my bike off at Town and Country Yamaha in
Murray, late Monday afternoon. The replacement new rear tire did
not arrive until Wednesday, and they put in on that day. They also
performed my 20,000 mile service.

It was good to see both my sisters again, but a week (5 days) detour
again so soon after only 1 week on the road (Sept 10-17) really does
not allow me to get back into the "groove" of riding again. I am
looking forward to hitting the road again....for a long spell.

Next destination: Central KY, north to Indiana, east through Ohio,
north across Pennsylvania toward Buffalo, NY and Niagra Falls.
