Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers, she was released from the hospital last night, she will need physical therapy and is in a back brace for the next four weeks. Her boyfriend is supposed to be released tonight or tommrow. Her landlord has already set her up with another place so at least she has a roof over her head. After talking with the fire inspector I am even more thankful since he said it could have been much worse for them. They believe it was caused by a neighbors cigarette, so if you know anyone that smokes just remind them to be extra careful.

Need prayers for my niece Carrie, she is in the hospital after sustaining injuries from an apartment fire last night. The apartments where a total loss and she had no renters insurance and the rest of the family is in Florida. She is 3 hours North of us in Aberdeen NC, so we may drive up and see her once we get more details of how she is doing. https://sandhillssentinel.com/firefighters-save-two-massive-fire/ https://www.gofundme.com/7qfv6-my-sister-lost-everything-in-a-fire

Speaking of Hair brushes Bobbi will be bringing hers.

School Starts back the 29th for me so that would work for us as well.

Last Vogel we drove up and someone was gracious enough to let us ride in thier convertible with them and I hate to say I enjoyed it almost as much as riding.

You know we could make a whole week out of it.

I am out of School from the 6th till the 27th so we plan on being there for sure.

Hate to hear this, have to say you and Kim are two of the nicest folks we have ever meet, Bobbi and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

In our thoughts and prayers

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and have a blessed New Year, Bobbi woke up with the flu two days before Christmas so we stayed put. Yesterday was the first day we ventured out, so our big adventure for the holidays was to go see The Last Jedi. Have to see what spring break holds.

It's not like WVU is going to win.

You can go online and look at your records including tests, doctors and nurses notes, refill prescriptions, etc...... myhealthyvet.va.gov

Sounds reasonable to me, need to take the bike out for a spin, since you do not have normal airflow like you would when you ride it can be deceptive.

I have had them call me a few times and tell me they need me to come in right away, seems to always happen a few days after I have some sort of test .

They did call me "Crazy Joe" makes sense now and I actually enjoyed jumping out of perfectly good aircraft but too expensive now and thank you too

Bobbi says no cold and no crowds, always wanted to see NYC at Christmas but have to keep my lovely bride happy.

Will check out Amtrak sounds interesting.

The DOD now has a policy that anyone traveling on orders has to stay on base first so that has screwed up space A for us retirees, but it is saving taxpayer dollars so I guess I cannot complain.

Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers, took me two years to settle with the lady that hit me head on so don't give up. I never thought I would own another bike after that,however remember you are part of the Venture Rider family regardless if you ever own another bike or not.

Maxim was the first brand new bike I ever owned.

If you want to take a short trip to Charleston we can knock it out.

Here is the OEM type connector, it does work just make sure your crimps are good. https://www.denniskirk.com/ricks-motorsport-electrics/rectifier-regulator-wiring-harness-connector-kit-11-114.p218553.prd/218553.sku

Use to live in Key West, be nice to see what has changed.

You can get a new connector and rectifier from the site Earl posted, I have done that and for one bike I got a upgraded R/R and connector from SKYDOC. V/r, Joe Patrick

Do like we did to the guys that kept stealing our TP in the Navy, we cut a roll of TTY paper in half and put it in the holder. That worked pretty well till one of the guys waives came to visit one duty night and had to use the head. She said she would never complain about TP again.
