My route plans for the Sturgis Rally Run
Due to some time restraints on some of our riding team, we are not leaving
until Thursday, August 5th. We scraped the “31 State Run” for several
reasons not the least of which is a requested arrival time in Rapid City, SD
as “early as possible”.
stops)
8/6; Friday, Day Two – Charleston, WV to Galesburg, IL (9.5 hours plus
stops)
8/7; Saturday, Day Three – Galesburg, IL to Sioux Falls, SD (8 hours plus
stops)
8/8; Sunday, Day Four – Sioux Falls, SD to Rapid City, SD (Sturgis) (5.5
hours plus stops) On the return trip, I am making a detour to a friend’s house in Muscatine,
IA so it is a little different route than Mark, Greg and Chris’. I am
leaving a day early and will meet them in Norwalk, OH. 8/13; Friday, Day One – Rapid City, SD to Albert Lea, MN (8 hours plus
stops)
8/14; Saturday, Day Two – Albert Lea, MN to Muscatine, IA (4 hours plus
stops)
8/15; Sunday, Day Three – Muscatine, IA to Norwalk, OH (8 hours plus stops)
8/16; Monday, Day Four – Norwalk, OH to Williamstown, NJ (9 hours plus
stops)
8/16; Tuesday, Day Five – Williamstown, NJ to Portsmouth, VA (5.5 hours plus
stops) Some hard riding days in front of us but going to be OH SO WORTH IT! This
is a trip to remember. Our basic plan is to be on the road as early as possible. I am shooting for
a 5AM departure each day. That way the majority of the riding is done
before the hottest part of the day and we can be in the hotels before 3 or
4PM.
Plans change.

Retail idiots – Why I shop online II
Dear Macarthur Center Yankee Candle Retail Sales Person:
When a customer says no thank you and I’ll let you know if I need any help, that is what it means.
Walking behind me and explaining the scents and sales (signs were right in front of me) just served to cause me to leave without making a purchase.
So I went to Brookstone and bought a remote control helicopter.
Best Android Apps?
List’em for me!!! My Droid is on the truck and should be delivered this afternoon. I’ll be holding a DROWNING CEREMONY for my Blackberry Storm this weekend.
What apps can you just not live without?
Dear Mozilla FireFox: What the heck?
Thank you Mozilla/FireFox. You have created an upgrade that doesn’t break my add-ons. WOW! Thank you thank you. Now I will click on “Get the New Version” Ok? Cool!
But wait! What is this? One of my add-ons will be broken. But didn’t you say it works with all of my add-ons? I’m confused. Maybe you meant to say works with all of my add-ons except some of them.
Remember its a work in progress…
Mark and I were discussing the ride over lunch the other day and figured on
our ride to Devils Tower we could hit Montana and North Dakota.

Still a work in progress… 29 States!
Mark and I are still tweaking and tuning our 2010 Sturgis run. We spent
about an hour this morning on the phone and hunched over computer keyboards
mapping our run.

Updated Planned Visited States
its going to happen though. I will be leaving the day before Mark to head to Albert Lea, MN to visit a
friend, then down to Muscatine, IA for another visit. Mark will be heading
to Milwaukee, WI to visit the Harley-Davidson Museum. We will meet back up either east of Gary, IN or in Norwalk, OH, depending on
road and riding conditions.
Why I Shop Online
Me: Do you have any widgits?
Retail Sales Professional: Well, let’s see, it is Saturday and we get a shipment in on Monday…
Me Interrupting: So that would be no?
Retail Sales Professional (without missing a beat): and we will not put them on the floor until Tuesday. You can check back with us Wednesday if you would like. < PAUSE > Yes. That would be no.
Freakin’ awesome.
