I had my fill of rain crossing Louisiana, but alas, I was heading towards Florida where rain seemed like it was omnipresent. I ran into five storms on the way to some friends of mine that live in Leesburg. It had been a couple of years since I had seen them, and it turned out to be a nice visit.
While I was there, I was able to change the oil in the motorcycle and fix a highway peg that had stuck in the closed position. It was a minor fix that turned out to be a needle in a haystack search. There was a couple of ball bearings in the peg that had a fairly stout spring behind them. While I was disassembling the component, one of the ball bearings went bounding across the garage. It took us about 10 minutes to find it, but once reassembled, all was well with the highway peg.
