Favor to ask…

Those who know me know that on July 1, 2 and 3, I’m usually in Gettysburg for really geeky battlefield tours.

Because of Scoot 66, I’ll be missing them this year. However, PCN TV is there and records them. They show older ones from past years throughout the day and then at 6pm on each day they show the ones that took place that day.

I’m particularly interested in one that will be on probably around 7 or 7:30pm on July 2nd (Wednesday). If someone could record that one (and any others) for me.

The ones they’re running this year are:

Tuesday, July 1
Gettysburg Battlewalks - Day 1
Union 1st Corps on Seminary Ridge (2008)
Brigadier General Doles’ Brigade (2008)

Wednesday, July 2
Gettysburg Battlewalks – Day 2
New 2008 Battlewalks begin at 6:00 p.m.
Major General Hancock’s Leadership (2008)
Brinkerhoff’s Ridge (2008)
Lt. General Longstreet: Culprit or Scapegoat (2008)

Thursday, July 3
Gettysburg Battlewalks – Day 3
New 2008 Battlewalks begin at 6:00 p.m.
Longstreet’s Flank Attack (2008)
Confederate Cannonade Examined (2008)
Pickett’s Charge, Confederate Perspective (2008)
Pickett’s Charge, Union Perspective (2008)
Big Round Top (2008)

Again, I’d really appreciate someone recording the Brinkerhoff’s Ridge one. That would make me happy. Also, Longstreet’s Flank Attack would be fun.

PCN is the Pennsylvania Cable Network. Usually they show tours of weird/normal Pennsylvania things, but over the Gburg anniversary, they show the battle walks. Anyone willing to help a geeky fellow out?

Thanks!

Ok… so there isn’t a whole lot going on right now

I don’t have a lot to say. I mean, I’m pretty busy, but it’s pretty busy hanging out. Not a lot of interesting things to write about.

Seattle is a bunch of fun and the weather’s been great.

Mostly, we go to parks or eat. Sometimes we eat vegan doughnuts. I had some this morning. Oh, it’s good stuff. Seattle is great for that.

I rode a bit yesterday, hoping that the problems with the scooter would occur again, but they didn’t. Right now, the scooter is fine. It’s a good thing, but if something is going to go wrong, I want it to do it here so I can fix it.

Several people have suggested that I leave the scooter on the west coast, fly back to PA, spend the summer there and at the end of it, fly back out to the west coast for the Cannonball. It’s tempting and I’ve given it a lot of thought.

Though I’m not convinced that it’s the best choice, I’m going to be riding back. There’s also the option to ship it out to California before the Run and then fly out. That is pretty tempting, to be honest. We’ll see how it goes. There’s also the option of simply not doing the Cannonball. But that’s an option I don’t really want.

One of the reasons I was going to be home was to change out the engine on the Stella. I ordered a PX200 engine and I’m pretty excited about it. However, that doesn’t get here for another six weeks. That should be in mid-August. We’ll see how/when that happens.

So… hm… anyone have any questions about stuff?

Sorry there isn’t much to talk about. Hmhmhm.
