I tried to send some stuff about mileage twice, both
yesterday and today. Both messages bounced because "the account has been
discontinued".
Anybody else run into this?

Hi Rev....Late last summer I managed to defy all odds, (wish I had accepted some of the bets from my youth) and put the first 1/2 century behind me. Last winter, I say this because I think spring has arrived, anyway on a very cold January night I was walking up from a few houses down the road where the car mechanic with the heated garage resides and was in the process of doing some needed repairs to my 4wd mode of tranport when I was made aware that hiking boots, -20*C temperatures, glass like black ice with a dusting of snow on it always lead to some type of funky chicken like moves. Due to the very untropical like temperatures I'm pretty sure that there was no lusty KLR thought's on my mind, but anyway I was preoccupied enough not to notice the ice.
All of this is starting to sound pretty bad but after the unsaveable fall, (it was dark, cold with a real good spacing between the widely spaced street lights so if there were any witness's they went unseen by me) I found myself bacically doing a pushup with no part of my body touching the ground except my feet and and fingers. At this point the first thought is something is really going to start hurting. Well, what I discovered while I was in my accidential pushup was nothing hurt and while maybe the body is aging, and I do have to be a little more careful but you know what I'm glad I fell because it reminded me that even as we age the muscle memory and reflexes learned from a lifetime of sports may have dulled a little, or truthfully more then a little but it is still there so I think I'll keep enjoying being as young as I feel rather then as old as I'm getting. That being said I don't think I'll attempt a replay as I would hate to burst the illusion of
youth...
.....Have a great evening......Greg

List,
Forgive me.
I failed to mention--I had another KLR spill yesterday--what is going
on! Of course, there were people looking right at me--nothing like
having a witness to destroy the chance of deny-a-bility. And the
most amazing thing of all, I wasn't even on the bike!!!! I was
walking across the church asphalt parking lot in Aberdeen, SD--and
day dreaming about riding my KLR. I stepped on a stone, twisted my
ankle and went down in a heap like I had been shot! No wonder bull
riders look dazed when they get bucked off--wondering, "What the heck
happened?" That is what I was thinking, "What happpened?"
I was wearing ATGATT: or at least the right costume for the
occasion. I was dressed in a denim 'spring parka' with Coyote lined
hood, Wrangle jeans and snap button shirt, book satchel over one
shoulder, and my best cowboy hat, you know the kind, the only one you
dare wear if you want your wife to go to town with you. The dust is
only 3/16 inch deep on this one. Yet I digress.
The witnesses (yes, there were more than one) were kind, they quickly
came to my aid--
"Do we need to call somebody?"
"Here let me help you up [old man]."
I felt pretty much embarrassed.
"Have you lost your balance like this before? Are you dizzy?"
"If you die, can I have your hat?"
sigh. How quickly the vultures circle a dying man.
I kept quiet about daydreaming--riding a KLR is not something anyone
of them would understand.
Just to make the story theological--I found myself thinking, "Don't
want to cast my pearls before the swine--those non-KLR riding folks--
don't tell them a thing..." Even if you are daydreaming about riding
the big green pig.
Boy, did it hurt like crazy. Still does. I did have the presence of
mind to roll in the direction of fall. At least I think the roll was
intentional. smile.
You even have to be careful about where you are riding your KLR, even
in your daydreams.
Yes, I was having a 'fantasy' while walking--BUT, it is not lust if
it is your KLR. smile. And when taken in context, the whole episode
lasted more than the proverbial 8 secs, but, all was not lost. I
didn't let my hat touch the ground.
