Stinger Gerlach was great! Even tho it rained from 11am Saturday till 11pm, then startup up again the next morning.... Left Gerlach at 10am NV time and rode in the rain all the way to Montello, arriving home at around 7:20 Logan time. It was a bit cool coming over the passes, and the rain was falling harder there, but at least did not hit any snow. The food at Bruno's was, once again, absolutely incredible-- who would believe you could get an Italian meal that good in the middle of nowhere? Bill and Gary and I had a good time at the event and on the way home, even tho we got chilled between Wendover and Elko. Having now thoroughly tested the Aerostich in an all-day rain, I can report that while not totally waterproof it most certainly did the job through 400+miles of steady rain. Now if I could just find some decent gloves for cold and wet conditions... Oh, yes--one of the highlights of the trip. I put "Mr. Fusion," my fuel cell with the Barber-designed nuclear warning symbols and dept. of energy text, back on the bike for the trip. Coming out of the gas station in Winemucca, my only gas stop on the way out, I was accosted by a classic "desert hippie," someone who clearly hadn't quite put it all back together again after the 60s. As he stood there looking at the bike and holding onto the ragged quarter-inch hemp rope that served as a leash for his mangy companion, he asked "Hey, is that for real?? I *KNEW* the damn oil companies and gummint bought up that cold fusion stuff just to keep control of it. Is it true, maan??" For a second I was tempted to answer "YES" just to see the reaction, then was tempted again to answer "Yes, but if I tell you about it I'll have to kill you." In the end, I decided I just didn't have time for the entertainment so told him no, it was all a joke. At that point he launched into a rambling dissertation about Nicolai Tesla and J.P.Morgan--I'm sure he would have eventually gotten around to Area 51 and his personal abduction story, but I just didn't have time to listen so nodded my head while mounting up and riding off. Aahhh, Nevada. I trust you and Bobster had a good time in Vegas/Mesquite?? On 27 Oct 98, at 20:19, Swan555@aol.com wrote: > But Brutus was an honorable Man. > > DeVerN: How was Gerlach.

Crit > My first suspicion would be that the Bobster has come up with some new and creative way of offsetting microwave radiation, and it's interfering with your electricals. You know that Bob, he won't be happy until he nukes his unit... My bike must be sympatico with yours and Bob's. On the way home I pressed the button to transfer fuel from the cell to the main tank and was rewarded with a healthy shock. Guess rainwater had finally gottin inside the switch. The good side, however, was that the pump would kick in and out on it's own to transfer fuel-- I never had to touch the switch again all the way home. It's now on my list of things to alter/replace/rewire this winter--time to break down and buy the good old BMW dash switches, I guess.

hear the subtle hiss of someone's light breathing coming from under the

with the night before, but vaguely remembering having a hot and steamy
time filled with pleasures beyond imagination, you lean over,
