Enjoyed the visit with my dad at his assisted living facility in Simi Valley, CA.
He has a kidney shot each Tue and that tires him out, but we played several games of RummiKube and he won most! His body is declining, but his mind is still sharp at 91.
Tad cool going through Mountain Pass, Monday morning, about 38 F.
I can't say I was comfortable, but neither was I particularly uncomfortable.
Freeze-Out thermals from Cycle Gear work well, as well as heavy Merino wool hiking socks from REI.
My lightly lined deerskin gloves are marginal for cooler weather.
This morning, leaving just after sunrise, it was cooler and overcast skies blocked the feel of the sun. The rest area along highway 58 near Boron, CA has hot air hand dryers and it was welcome!
711.3 miles Mon-Wed.
Trip computer shows 47.2 MPG (actual 47.42 MPG) on a total of 15.0 gallons. Median speed close to 80 MPH (going with the flow, for the most part).
5583 miles on the CB1100.
After getting home, it was good to be active, so I lubed the chain (785 miles since last service on 27 Feb). Got 7 services from one can of Dupont Chain Saver.
