Yesterday ran errands, took a short nap, then took my motorcycle to the Honda dealership for a routine maintenance.
The lovely Mrs_Bob's bike was in the shop getting a "lowering kit" installed. Also had a set of front Aux Driving Lights added to her bike for visibility.
So I rode mine into the shop and rode her's back out of the shop. It was interesting to get off my bike and get onto her lowered bike. In original form, despite different engines and do dads, the bike frames are identical and the seat height is the same. Not any more. Her's is lowered a good bit and I think she is going to love it. But it was an odd sensation. Adventure Touring bikes are generally tall bikes. She was forced to Tip-Toe the bike at stop lights. I'm pretty sure she can stand flat footed at a stop now.
Today I'll be picking Dasha up from her TOFEL test (pre-college test for foreign students) and we will probably go to the YMCA for a workout. Then home. Then all of us plan to go to Valparaiso, IN to walk around the town. Its a semi-touristy town that is close, dog friendly so Melen will bring her new puppy Nelson with us. After walking around the town we will be going to our friend's house for pizza and board games to hang out for the evening.
Tomorrow (weather permitting) heading up to Chicago to visit the Osaka Garden. Its a hidden gem on Chicago's south side and a beautiful Japanese garden in the city. Probably head over to the West Loop neighborhood to walk around there, grab some lunch. Probably do all that with Melen's law school roommate, who just took an internship in the city. So the lovely Mrs_Bob and I will be tour guides escorting 1 puppy, 1 Bosnian law student and 1 Russian high school student.
