Dc clean up day

Based on our typical day on the road this was a vacation. Our mission today was to clean up CG1 and get him ready for show and tell this week end. Kiwi started by taking the exhaust pipe off and removing the battery. Art needed access to all areas to get the bike to show quality. Kiwi pushed the bike across the street to the Harley shop( not the bathroom) and let art have at it. No pressure washing. This needed to be a hand job. We went to lunch at the same Mexican place as yesterday. It was that good. Hung out for a while and then went to check on the progress. Art figured he was done. Kiwi spent another 2 1/2 hours getting the bike to show quality. Must have been a miscommunication on the level of expectation. By the time kiwi called to help him push it up the hill I was getting worried. We got the bike back to the room and set to work rearranging bikes in the truck in order to transport tomorrow. Kiwi also had to find an auto parts store to get some brake cleaner. Easier said than done. People around here have little or no idea where things are located. Kiwi was pretty frustrated by the time he got back. We took a peek at the eastern horizon and were not happy. Black clouds rolling in with lots of thunder. Kiwi hurried to get the exhaust back in place and secure the battery. We loaded dirty gurl and then got CG1 on the truck minutes before the clouds opened and wept their voluminous tears. It rained like a damn fool for about 20 minutes but we didn't care. The bikes were secure and it was time for a beer. Tonight we are treating ourselves to a big steak as a reward for a mission well done. Tomorrow is moving day as we head for the Arlington suites hotel which is the rolling thunder headquarters. Let chapter 2 begin.
