Finally home from the convention.  Had a good time in spite of the bad back.  Got rid of the Express and the Motobecane & wound up bringing home a small jacobson 2 stroke motor as the result of a trade.  Kartjocky & his son and Oil lamp & his wife made it to the banquet.  I rode the honda passport to the banquet, along with 2 homemade scooters (one of them a safety cycle) 1 Italian scooter, and about 100 Cushmans.  Those cushmans with the vanguard v engines can really get up & go. 

I've got a doctor appointment tomorrow morning to see if we can get the back under control.  I should be able to finally finish the wiring on the Simplex & get it going.  I'll have to just leave the brake light switch off for a while, as Wayne didn't have the correct one (any of you who have the brake switch behind the motor, if you need a switch, order it now, as Wayne only has a few left).

Mike ,

Bone cracker or pill pusher ?

 I went to a chiropractor for a while . He did way more good than the pill pusher .

Now , I just have my wife 'walk' on my back when it gets too bad . Gave up on the pain pills . I didn't like the 'place' I was in when under their 'control' . A bit too far form clear thought kind of thing .

I went to see a chiro guy for 5 sessions & I felt good for only an hour afterwards each time then I was back to square one.  Went to a general doctor this morning & he got me in for some xrays & physical therapy.  He also got me some pain pills which were a little milder than the ones the e-room got me last week (didn't care for the side effects).

He really wants to do an MRI, but the insurance won't pay for it unless I do the pain management & therapy first (sounds like a racket doesn't it). 

Time will tell I guess.....

Well I can say it now. We made it home no hits runs or errors. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did. It was great to meet all of y'all and swap stories. Thanks to everyone.

We made it home last night, and have been recovering all day today. Had a blast and enjoyed meeting some of you guys. Will have pics to follow.

oil lamp, you forgot to tell everyone about the indoor pool your tent has!

I didn't want to make anyone feel bad they don't have a tent with a indoor pool. I did thirty mins then tried my hand at the highdive.
