\"\"I had a very productive yet intense work trip all last week in Salt Lake City, Utah. Since I was running the show, I had no time to write anything for this blog. <\/p>\n

I regret, though, not combining this trip with another motorcycle ride. However, I was warned…
\n
\n… a few years ago that late August is a time when the monsoon in the desert southwest USA is at peak, meaning that there are frequent heavy thunderstorms. <\/p>\n

Having survived riding through a monsoon<\/a> on my Crazy-Awesome Motorcycle Adventure in Utah, I did not want to repeat that.<\/p>\n

But my weather forecasting buddies who know about Utah weather were wrong this year. It did not rain a drop for the last couple weeks. <\/p>\n

Oh well… I’ll do a Northern Arizona\/Southern Utah ride again with my buddy “S”… sometime next year. If it kills me. (I hope not!)<\/p>\n

Took a red-eye flight home Friday night and arrived Saturday morning. Had breakfast, then lay down with the spouse on our bed and quickly fell asleep in his arms. I did not sleep on the plane much. (I have to remember to bring silencing headphones; I forgot this time and the snoring and “people noise” kept me awake.)<\/p>\n

\"\"I got out on my Harley on Sunday for a little bit. Man, it was great to ride my Iron Horse again. Weather was super fantastic.<\/p>\n

Wore my new Chippewa Firefighter Boots<\/a> and got several “nice boots” compliments at the fire house when I stopped by to pick up my mail and drop off a meeting agenda.<\/p>\n

I returned home rather soon after that as I started feeling a cold coming on. Other people at my meeting last week had a cold, and with as run down as I was from being so busy, plus with traveling by air in a germ tube (aka airplane)… no wonder. <\/p>\n

I have to recover soon… another business trip to two states on the Left Coast is coming up in a week.<\/p>\n

Life is short: keep on keepin’ on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
