Home again
Leaving was difficult. We had seen pictures of snowed in Germany and weren’t looking forward to that. We gave our trusted old van back to Tony after we picked up a rented car and off we went. We had a few min so we went to Santa Monica BLD and look at the beach where they made the Serie Bay Watch. Gave our car back and checked in. They were a bit suspect about my Front Forks =). We were given really good seats with a lot of leg room. We sat down and had some food before we went through the last check.
It was strange to think a whole month had passed, but I think due to the fact that our days didn’t alter to much, the time dissipated quickly. This time we were pleasantly surprised at our Plane. It was a new 747 and the crew were really friendly. The food was good and the best part was that we had a lot of seats empty so it was easy to have 4 in a row.

Gees my own bed ;-)

The flight took 10h30 and on our way in to landing (wheels out ect) there was a sudden thrust of power and away we were again ???? The pilot said he was sorry and that he was blocked passed ;-) I was wondering, if Jeff was flying the other plane ;-)))) We landed safely as light as a feather but we were the last Plane in. 500 flights were cancelled after that.

Home sweet home.

A few days have passed and I am starting to sleep through the nights. Well I did last night. None of this waking up at 2h00 and not being able to sleep again. I have a serious case of missing the riding right now and will soon run amok if I don’t go riding soon =) I am busy trying to get through my Pile of Paper work I had waiting for me here. So if your expecting some news from me soon please hang in there. I’m going to Kawasaki Eder in Augsburg on Sunday to give some auto grams. This is an Invite for all in the area to come by.
Tomorrow I’m off to Ortema then Thor (Hubert Armbruster) and Hubert Hoffmann at Race Tech.
So it’s a pretty full day when you include my training.
Then its back to my second Family on Friday or Saturday morning.

I hope you are keeping well.. and don’t look like a snow man.

P.S.: All reports and pics
