It's Thursday afternoon and I'm chilling with my long lost brother Rick. It's been 25 years since I've seen him, and what a treat it is! God I love Rick, I always have. I forgot just how funny he is. He's a one man show. He just keeps me entertained for hours. I feel so lucky to have this chance to spend sometime with him. I rode 80 miles to Eastlake Cleveland with no address I called him when I got into town, and I ended up two blocks away from his shop and home. He's still a body man working and living out of a big shop. Right now he's painting a boat. He's got a dog named Little man, oh, and he bit me, the little shit.We've been hanging out working on the boat. I helped with the taping. We've enjoyed a few meals together and last night we cooked steaks in the electric skillet. I am enjoying myself thoroughly. Right now I'm waiting out the weather and it looks like I'll take off on Sunday. That will give me a least five nice days to start riding on west, and give me some more quality time with my brother. This is the first time I've had to hunt down a wifi signal. Sorry for the late post. But I've got some serious catching up to do with Richard!
