As Oren sits in the garage looking all lowly tied to her yuasa battery tender for many months now and 1/2 tore apart...last thing i tried to do (many months ago) was put a new set of rear brake pads on Oren but was so crippled up i couldn't manage finishing the job as almost a year ago?..i was diagnosed with diabetes.....then several months back?...musta had a black widow in my boot....got nailed on the right ankle and arch of the foot many times....
odd part was...i didn't know what it was at first...but felt like i had red ants feeding on both my legs and both my legs and (real weird here) my fingers turned a blue'ish/purple and going numb...so i headed to the ER where they misdiagnosed the spider bites (they didn't look like the above pic yet) as diabetic neuropathy and the doc put me on lyrica and i'm still on it..eases the pain, tingling and numbness in my feet and legs but...also kinda scambles and slows my thoughts/re-actions a bit so i felt it a good idea to let Oren set a spell...especially after i couldn'y stay crouched down, sitting on concrete and kneeling long enough to finish the brakepad install..so she's been parked for quite some time...but man do i wanna ride.
On a brighter note?...today is the wife and I's 22nd anniversary...can't beleve she stuck around this long...and next month?...on July 27th i get to pick up my 2 years Clean & Sober NA Medallion...anyways..miss ya'll as much as i miss riding and figured i'd just touch base..L8R, Bill.
