The weather is at it's best right now here in Florida for riding so it worked out that I got two goods ones in.
Saturday morning I had another appointment set up at our local BLOOD BANK. It was just cool enough at 6:30 am that all I needed was a long sleeve shirt under my vest. Turned out when they punched in all my information to do the paper work that this visit would run my total up to 34 GALLONS!!!!!! They asked if I drove a car any and I said yes. They gave me a new tag with my total on it. Heck with the car. It's on the back of my wing!!!
Now today I watched the weather and they said there was a 40% chance of rain. I got to thinking, that's really a 60% chance it wont rain..
I took off at 9:30 and rode up to Clearwater, about 75 miles away I think. I had seen on the TV that the "MOVING MEMORIAL WALL" would be there just Sat. & Sun. I knew that I needed to go see it again.

Even with fighting US19 thru St. Pete and Clearwater, it was well worth the trip. There was a steady flow of people coming and going, showing their respect.
Then after the ride home, I ended it looking at this as I pulled in the road to my driveway.

I wish everyone could have had this weekend.
