I spent about 340 bucks on a nice drivers lower back rest for my bike.
Expensive, but totally adjustable and allows you to support the back
just where you need it.  I did this back over a year ago when I never
dreamed I would be laid up so long, and thus, might actually need that
money for bills, etc.  I just wanted to know that I could ride without
injuring the back more.

Anyway, it works great, and late spring, I began riding on longer and
longer trips, working my way up to close to 300 miles in one day, but
with LOTS of stops along the way.  Each ride leaves me pretty sore,
but my orthopedists have seen the bike and have assured me that I
can't hurt the back any more by using it, I just have to be patient
over the next few years as it continues to heal.

I sent out an email to a number of friends yesterday, but it seems
like you fell out of my address book.

Anyway, the email was showing you how you can now track my GPS
movements in real time.  If you are interested, write me with an email
address.

Also, I am setting up a web cam in the truck where you can view in
real time what I see.  This should be pretty cool when I get in the
mountains and deserts.

For now, I simply am not smart enough to get the feed onto a web site
where you go to a URL to view.  I know it can be done, and really, I
think all I need is to get my son to give me an IP address on his
servers, but I am having trouble connecting with him.

If anyone here has suggestions, please let me know.

For now, you can watch on yahoo messenger with my bugmanron@ address.

Until I pass through Fort Worth tomorrow and pick up my web cam, all
you will see is whoever is driving the truck and his window, as I am
stuck with the cam built into this laptop.  It's a 1.3 M cam so it
works pretty well.

In time I want a real nice one on the dash, but I am still paying big
back bills from being laid up.

Later
