    Can you believe I'm sitting in a Travel Lodge motel in Medford Oregon and its in the 90's today. Dry heat and a breeze blowing. Lots of bikes out down here. Got to do a inspection on a 16 unit Apartment complex down here tomorrow. Then do the 5 hour drive home tomorrow. Hope to be home by midnight. Sure wished I could have rode the bike, but to much equipment to take.
    Saw a couple on a big BMW pulling a large tent trailer. He was moving pretty good with that trailer as they were going though the corners in the mountains on I-5. He had it leaned over trying to keep 65 MPH going in a posted 55 curve. Bike and trailer where starting to wiggle pretty hard and he finally slowed it down to get control back again, dang punk young guys.

    Almost forgot had dinner at my favorite chain restaurant here in the Northwest, Black Bear Dinner. They serve extra large portions, planning on doing breakfast tomorrow morning at 6 AM. They got the best thick ham steaks around.

    Don't think he had it loaded correctly as they should not wiggle (sway) at the rear end like that. Probably to much weight in the rear of the trailer.
