Uneventful update, but...

Haven't ridden much this year. Still under 24K miles. Still haven't done 24K maintenance. But I have enjoyed the rides I've taken. Mostly I was ridiculously busy at work this past Spring and Summer and when I had time off I was pooped.

But there's exciting new development in the story. It looks very much like the Nun and I (and wife, and cats) will be moving to or near Corvallis, Oregon.

For those of you who are naive and/or just stupid, Corvallis is a little over an hour from the best sea-side ride in the US, is surrounded by mostly uninhabited "mountains" and the region has about as much park land as private land. The flora and fauna are very different from what I've befriended in the Appalachians and Ozarks. I have yet to shake hands with a cat larger than a Maine Coon Cat and Eastern Oregon has bobcat and lynx. They also have mountain lion, puma and cougar (oh wait... those are all the same thing).
