So overall, not a bad drive to Portland. Met some really nice people who've decided to get rid of a couple of their motorcycle toys. Mostly hers not his. Fish Sauce always loves a road trip.
The Beta bike is nice. It started right up and is in really good shape. I gave them their asking price as that was more than reasonable. What benefit to I really gain in haggling? None.
Loading the bike was pretty easy, and even with my cheapy straps (not really heavy duty motorcycle straps) the bike sat back on the trailer really well. That trailer is another great Craigslist purchase!
The boots were a total surprise. I didn't really even know what I was buying, as I'd never seen a trials boot. They appear softer and more wearable than an MX or Road boot. Nice rubber platform for your feet. Honestly they looked as if they've only been worn a couple of times, max.
Once I got them home and really inpected them, it was clear they were a little dried out (since they had sat from unuse) but with some light Simple Green scrubbing and a good application of mink oil really cleaned up nice. All leather Italian made trials riding boots? What a huge score! They are the balance oiled model. Very classic.

Gimpy Sauce
Well, we're @ over 2 months since Fish Sauce got her knee worked on. I am happy to say she's not limping anywhere NEAR what she did, and frankly we're a little bummed since her attitude is much much improved. She plays more, runs more and is much more active. Obviously she was really in pain.
Go Fish Sauce, Go. You're the best dog there is, and ever could be.

What would you change, what will you change?

Dixie Dog in Spookaloo Snow
She's a sweet dog, too bad she's such a chucklehead.
I'm pretty sure Mom's healer isn't supposed to be up to her knees in snow.
