Time got away from me again and before I knew it it is Sunday and the world is crashing down around me. The weatherman is giving us a narrow window of opportunity this week, but it's open wide. Tuesday is looking pretty good with a forecast high of 82*. The rest of the week, not so much. So I started burning up my phone to get us a place to go. Just before it had a meltdown in my hand I hooked us up with a place in Liebenthal. What is a Liebenthal you ask. At least I did. It's a little town just north of La Cross. That kind of threw me for a loop, since the only La Cross I knew was in Wisconsin. The last time I was in La Cross Wisconsin I saw my life flash before my eyes. But that's another story. Anyway this ride is just over 100 miles. I know I might be pushing the season, but I don't want to waste such a good forecast. The last time we were there was in late September of 17. As I recall the food was simple but really good. I had a bowl of chili and a burger and I didn't leave hungry.
I've been in the garage all day making sparks. Between grinding and welding the garage looked like a fireworks display. I was working on my motorcycle lift modification to a hydraulic cylinder and I discovered a major oversight. I discovered that where I planned to put the cross member that mounts the hydraulic cylinder was right where the rear lift arms come down. So I had to grind out the welds that held the mount to the cross member and make a new mount 4 1/2 inches longer to get it out in front of the rear lift arms. Lots of cutting and grinding and welding and I got the new mount in place and it looks like it all fits. So now it looks like I'm ready to start fitting it to the lift frame. But first we need to set a launch time for tomorrows ride. According to my tip planner its about a 2 hour ride out to Liebenthal so I figure we should launch from the Quality Inn @ 10:00.
