      Had scheduled CT, labs and doc visit today.  Everything looking ok. So I am about 18 months NED now. Just short of 4 years of initial diagnosis.

      So a quck update on my plans. Next CT, lab and doc visit are at end of August.  Which means I am off on a solo motorcycle trip on the Monday following the 4th of July.  Traded in my 04 Yamaha Vstar 1100 on an 06 Harley Heritage Soft Tail ( 1453cc ) last month. Been checking out my camping gear to see what can still be used.

      The route is St Louis MO ( my home ) to Mt Rushmore, then thru Yellowstone to see Old Faithful, over to Salt Lake City, down to the north rim of the Grand Canyon, over to Carlsbad New Mexico for the caverns then to San Antonio TX to check out the Alamo. Roughly 4800 miles give or take. ( depends on how many back roads I take vs interstates ) No time schedule.  Guessing about 3 weeks.  Or I may just run it the other way starting in TX.  Might be cooler temp wise at start of trip than a couple weeks later.
