Excellent Words Paul!I understand completely.
The biggest battle is gearing up for it and attempting it. If you finish it then it’s something you can chalk up. Realize that if you only complete some of it then that is also an accomplishment and just as important as finishing the last mile. The Win is that you had the guts to attempt it and that already beats all those who didn’t !
I just hope when you’re passing someone all they hear is the chain switching sprockets and all they see is the smoke bellowing from the pipe !


Nice pic of the Commodore Perry, too!Cold beer and a bowl of Coffee Royale on the back porch. Two Barred Owls nearby giving a free concert as well.
