I already walked the dog earlier so I had some time. Temps had risen to 31 and there was very little moisture on the road from melting snow on the edges. No ice and roads had been clear for a 3+ days now. Checked gas.. 3/4's of a tank . The CB fired up on the first turn of the key since being put to sleep for the season.

While warming it up I searched for the nearest VFW on Google maps. I knew there was one close by but on the search it didn't come up. What? A VFW went out of business? You'd think for a country that's been at war continuously since 1991 the VFW's would by now outnumber fast food franchises. OK, found one...36 miles away...off I go.

The ride is uneventful. I pull into the parking lot mid afternoon and as I go to shut the bike off the gas gauge is down to one bar and blinking furiously. How did that happen? It showed 3/4 full as I left the house. Must have looked at it wrong in the shadowy garage light. Problem is I don't have gloves or hand sanitizer to stop at a pump. I limp home without issue keeping the throttle under control.

Merry Christmas one and all!





Looking east at the Wasatch Range miles south of my house en-route to the VFW.
