well this weekend didn't start out too good i went out to the garage and loaded up my bike as normal! I will admit I have gotten a bit lax about checking out the bike when I get home because the soft tail has had so few issues! once i got the bike loaded and my leathers on I thru a leg over it and hit the switch! click click what the heck it started fine last time! ok get out the battery charger and hook it up take off my leathers and and sit my butt down for a few min! let it charge! got me a drink killed 30 min try again no luck still click click! ok try something different! get out the jumper cables and try again! 

first unload the bike then take the seat off so I can get to the battery hook up the jumper cables and click click again ok let it charge from the car battery for a bit wiggle the cables and make sure it has good connection.  light is bright every thing looks good try again still click click! by now it is past time for the bike shop to be open so there is no parts available I have promised to be some where so I have to make a decision wait and fix the bike tomorrow or go in a cage!
I'm trying for figure out  what is actually wrong with the bike! I think it has to be a wiring problem since the thing started just fine last time I rode it. but I don't have time to chase it down now since I made a promise I decided to take the cage! don't know what

I'm going to do about games with no bike but I have to go! I take the rest of my stuff off the bike and put it in the van. I take off down the road wondering if Tina will be mad at me for not having a bike since she is coming to play with me in the games! oh well! anyway I finally get to the camp ground and find a place to camp for me I picked a spot next to hands of prayer and across from CMA! it is as close to the games and stage as I can get and still be in the shaded camping area! 

once I got set up I found dirty dave and knew I would have a bike to ride in the games! from there I started checking out the camp and all the things that got built. any way there were new roads running thru camp! the camping has nice shade! the venders were scattered along the road between the camping and the game area and stage. but the big thing is the bath house it is a block building with hot showers and flush toilets! I think there were 6 shower heads and I was told he had continuous hot water with tankless heaters! he also built a nice stage!& some good music! it did take folks a while to show up! most didn't get there till late Friday or Saturday! I don't know if they couldn't get off work or what! there was not enough people to play games on friday but we did on saturday! I got pretty busy trying to help with games and play in them on a borrowed bike and take pictures too!
