One more day and a wakeup. T-shirts should be ready tomorrow, good thing I stayed on top of them. Had the FJR checked out. It is ready to go. Spoke with Travelodge, they're ready to receive. Reservations are under my name, Darrell Newcomb. We may be wet but not too hot. Frogg Toggs work pretty well. I'll do my pack out tomorrow. It'll be nice to see everyone again. Dwayne and I will trailer up Thursday.

On the XS side I got my XS11E running for the first time in 14 years. It sounds pretty sweet though I have to do a little more carb work. #1, #2 velocity stack weren't working so I reseated them. They have the kathunk like 3, 4 now. The fuel tee between 3 and 4 leaks. I have some brass tees. need some o-rings so they fit properly - ordered an assortment. Found my two Colortunes and got some mercury for my carb stick. I don't think it'll need any serious tuning - it sounds pretty good now.

Electrics work; lights, signals, horn, brake light.

The last item now is to order some tubes and tires.
