Dismissed

Rhode Island has this thing where you can plead guilty with a good driving record. I did just that, showed the court officer the certified copy of the driving record, and the judge just dismissed it! Yay!

Trouble
2 years ago
If I want to accomplish this goal, I’ll need to do some work on my motorcycle, because when I rode it this weekend, it had a few issues. It’s 21 years old so problems are to be expected, but these will need to be fixed if I’m going to ride it 6000+ miles in 2 months.
1) The biggest problem that I noticed was that the clutch felt like it was going to start slipping, so this winter I’ll need to inspect it and probably rebuild it.
2) Then all the cables with rubber on them need to be replaced, because they’re cracking.
3) Now both tires have slow leaks instead of just the front one. It’s not something that I’ll need to fix, but I’ll need to be aware of it while I ride.
4) Lastly, the starter motor has a strange problem where it won’t shut off. I need to remove a side panel and disconnect the battery before it will stop. That need to be fixed, especialy considering how hard it is to jump start the thing.
11 units so far and counting

I’m 24 and I started giving blood in High School, so I’m up to 11 lifetime units now. I had to take a year off when I got my 1st tattoo and I can’t donate again until next March because of my 2nd tattoo, but it’s something that I’ll definitely keep doing when I’m allowed to.
