Ok. Has anyone heard anything out of Steve?  I'm a little worried. Seems like he would have at least checked in.

Calvin, Caretaker of Sidecar Willie, or...Wilton THEE Dog, that is very kind of you to check ion on Steve Ives. I am been in communication with him, and he is alive, and...fairly healthy, all things considered, and he attended the USCA National Sidecar Rally in Iuka, MS. that ended this morning. He will be taking 3 days to get home to Buffalo, KS....not Buffalo, NY. I will be stopping by to visit him for 36 minutes this coming Thursday, June 13th....whilst on my way from picking up yet another sidecar rig from Hannigan's, and making my zoom zoom across the country to Western Washington.

Steve did get that bad alternator replaced in his '95 Wing, installed a new one, and greatly improved his electrical standing in the World...as we know it.

Steve texted me a couple of hours ago that he's at a lakeside stay in Hazen Arkansas.  He exhausted himself pretty badly on the two day ride to Iuka and recuperated in the AirBNB Karen and I got as our guest.  He did attend the closing festivities and breakfast Saturday. 

Sam the RedboneRottie was quite entertaining once we figured out he was all bluff!  Looking forward to seeing them again.

He's a Redbone and a Rottie?

That's Steve's diagnosis.  He's bigger than a red hound and has a head shaped more like a Rottie.  You decide.  Sam's the one on the right.

UGH!  WiFi in this motel is terrible and the trackpad on this computer is shot.  Pics will have to wait.

 Then again, sometimes things randomly happen.

Did it in two days. Went round the bottom of Memphis and the mostly interstate up through Arkansas, long ride but pretty. JP Colman is a story for another day. Sam he was as good as gold =). 4am here just coming down gently, a bit Mutt and Jeff must be all the semi's thundering past.
