It has been a long time since we went on the road together, and ALOT of stuff has happened since August 21st, 2016. Both Bill and I suffered some health issues, ironically both related to toes. I won't bore you with the full gory details of my experience but I endured 89 days of IV antibiotics and missed the amputation of my right big toe by the slimest of margins! Bill had legionairres disease shortly after our trip, infect by the stagnant water in his fountai...

Sadly the physical manifestation of that meal fe...

Our original destination today was Dawson Creek, BC, only about 475 kms away so we made our morning departure a little more casual starting at the A&W across the street for a Crack of Bill breakfast. I should have been capitalizing & acronymizing CoB all along. Seeing CoB all spelled out now is a bit awkward, but the acronym is *****in'! After some B&E's were were off headed south on a beautiful blue sky sunshiney day. I almost said out loud to Bill ...

As we are packing up the bikes this fine morning a nice lady comes up to Bill and tells him that her son loves motorcycles, and because he is 4 also teddy bears. He calls motorcycles 'go go's' and teddy bears 'softys'! Last night when the family arrived he ran to Bill's bike, still sporting his sheepskin seat cover (the bike, not the kid, that would be creepy!) and petted it calling it a 'Go Go Softy'! Here is a quick video to remind you of the 4 year old's objec...
