Today, again

Woke up at o'dark thirty with the guys, managed to get Josh off on his way to pick up his records from the USS Abraham Lincoln before falling back asleep for 45 minutes. At that point, Kevin woke me up to drop him off at the NAS Whidbey Air Terminal. Then I'd hoped to get back to bed but didn't manage to fall asleep again.

Josh is bringing Dom's bike home for me to use at the motorcycle training course Wednesday and Thursday. Thinking of my big guy riding Dom's much smaller bike is giving me giggle fits. What can I say, I'm easily amused. I'm very grateful to Dom for offering the bike, since Josh's handlebars are considerably wider than I can handle. Especially, as I'm still healing from the ligament pull on my right hand (the clutch hand, naturally).

I've been experimenting with wearing a regular shoe on my right foot for a short periods of time to test things. So far, so good. Fortunately, my motorcycle boots are very firm and have a similar effect to the surgical bootie, i.e. they keep me from bending my foot beyond a minimal angle. My hope is that since we'll spend several hours each day in the classroom, the few hours on the bike in the afternoon will cause minimal problems. Today's test ride should tell me what to expect.

Wish me luck!
