New Ride - a Hon (no da)

My newest ride, a Hon (no da in the name).  American (Iowa HQ) made.  After about 20 years on the old one, I got a new office chair.  New chair has about 12 separate controls and is much more comfortable.  It's like having a custom Russell Day Long seat added to your motorcycle.  Old chair is still fine, just dirty and plastic arm rests are delaminating.

Too Much Rain

Its been raining so much since the beginning of May that I haven't be able to get much of my scouting done for the GLMC Dual Sport Rally next weekend.  Work has been so crazy busy that most of my free time seems to be spent mowing my stupid yard. Now the rain is going to time-suck me some more because our cherry tree went bonkers again this year... that there folks (below) is a lot of cherry mojitos...  which is going to seriously eat into my riding time.

That is a lot of mojitos:
