Sorry about your mom!
Us old guys have been through the parents health issues and certainly sympathize with you. Al least your mom has you to do the right things for her! Sorry about that TT!
If that Torrance thing was in Ventura County or even the SF Valley it would be difficult to resist stopping by every Sunday! At 1 & 1/2 hours each way it will have to be less often and, like yesterday for me, end earlier in the day; but what a cool wonderful thing to have available!! Reminded me of the 50's & 60's, lots of people racing around having fun! Legal, no police, no hassles!!
And how about that young gal riding her boyfriend's FAST go-ped; at about mach1 she took a nasty looking header, would of killed evil ed or me, maybe even Guardrail, but she untangled herself from the bike, wiped off the blood and carried on - what a trooper!!
