missing all the rallies this year :-(

[jet townsend]

I finally have time, we all have vaccinations, my bike 40k resto is
almost finished, and I have time to socialize with people outside
greater Pittsburgh

"comma but"

Two weeks ago I started passing gallstones and was in the ER twice, the
second time on 24-hour wait for an operating room at the level 1/2
facility that could remove a *perforated* gall bladder over the weekend.
 Then oops, it's not perforated, you can go home.

Yesterday I had my gall bladder removed and recovery time is at least 2
weeks, maybe 3, surgery took 2 hours instad of 90 minutes.  No lifting
anything over 10# for at least 2 weeks and I'm on Norco for most of next
week.  At least is was lapro and I could go in at 07:30 and check out at
14:00, no two-three day observation day like in previous decades.

Oh well, maybe next year.  I should have the bike exhaust upgraded by
then and maybe, finally, finish my adaptors for mounting R100 bags on an
R80 frame.  (Which is waaaaay more complicated than I thought when I
started last Spring.)
