Good to see you back on the road... ::001::
Unfortunately they weren't "special" cookies, but were very tasty anyway.True Grip said:Hope your peeing freely and back to enjoying yourself. Thats a big cookie smile ;D What kind of cookies did Jeff give you? special cookies ::025:: I think I can tell from Jeffs eyes. Just kidding glad your feeling better ::008::
They are special because I make them from scratch once a year. Make 9 dozen plus a few we eat while making. I call them my monster cookies, a little bit of everything in them. Truely yummy!True Grip said:Hope your peeing freely and back to enjoying yourself.

TrueGrip, I know it was all joiking on your part. I like to explain things at times, like me baking cookies!!!! I was glad to help and give some of them to Trevor. His journies are something many of us can only dream of when it comes to the reality of it. ::008::True Grip said:Just teasing you Jeff. The best part for these forums are meeting and helping fellow riders on their adventures. Glad you could help Trevor.
God Trevor, I was going to comment om how envious I am of you, but after the string story I don't think so much! ::025:: Anyhow have a safe journey. I look forward to your installments.dcstrom said:I spent a pleasant couple of days around the Cascades - beautiful country and the weather has been perfect.
Sunday evening saw me back in Seattle, at a hostel downtown. Two reasons - I still needed to see the Boeing factory, and... Monday was stent-removal day, and I'm a pussy and wanted to be close to my doctor in case there were any issues, rather than doing it out in the sticks somewhere.
A stent in this case is the tube they put between the kidney and bladder to keep the ureter open after the trauma of surgery. When things have settled down , the patient can remove it by simply pulling a piece of thread...
I was freaking a bit though - I was going to do it last night but had one beer, my first in nearly 3 weeks. Next time I peed there was blood in the urine, I hadn't had that for a few days. Kidneys really don't like beer eh?
Anyway I called the doc this morning, and he reassured me, so I pulled the string. If you are squeamish, look away now ;-)
No, Honda CRF450X. I wouldn't have made it 10 feet on a Strom down there.GrahamD said:Except the busted Strom?.
I don't think you should take the blame for that one! Sounds like a design flaw on the part of Honda... but yes, bad enough seeing the bike on its side in the sand, would hate to see a pool of oil forming at the same time!Dirt_Dad said:Great photos. The Mexico ones with a bike laying in the sand look very familiar to me. Happy you did no damage to you or bike. My first sand/silt fall in Mexico resulted in putting a hole in the case and a loss of oil. I didn't hit a rock or anything hard, instead the silt was so bound up and compressed by the spinning front sprocket that it damaged the case. I hope the shaft drive makes that type of damage impossible for you.
