the Campotosto Mystic Trip - what happened?

It was clear from the beginning that what we have stumbled upon with the Campotosto Mystic Trip, in our search for the expansion of consciousness, is not just a deep well of knowldge, but a living force; and while I humbly carry the mantel of its emissary, I do not control it.

To remind me of this, Karma has delivered a swift kick up the ass and thus our yearly trip did not happen this time.

While we're still enjoying excellent weather, everyone (myself included) seems to have already shifted their mindset to one of dread and anticipation of the horrible winter that is inevitably upon us. To quote a famous show, winter is coming.
This state of mind is not conducive to the CMT, and so we are better off planning maintenance and repairs for the coming months. I don't know what, if anything, I'll be able to do or when, but I don't anticipate much happening at all.

There is plenty to be done, I'd like to get the Triumph back on the road, repair the Sportster's gearbox, upgrade the Fastback's Isolastics, etc. I just don't know if I'll be able to go anywhere near the Monolith at all. It could be many, many months before I can.

So, I think this is where I'll sign off; don't expect any news before next spring.

And to those who will say that I've been on PLENTY of outings this year and that I should just shut up and be content with my lot, here's a handy list for them to consider as they make their way to buggering off:

Pathfinder 2: 2 days
Almost Majella: 3 days
Old Irons: 2 days
The wet one: 2 days
Majella 2½: 3 days

That all comes to a grand total of 12 days. Now, stay with me as this is where we rehash that most useful of basic math skills: proportions!
A year is 365 days, give or take. So, if 365 days is 100%, 12 days are...? That's easy, look:
365:100=12:x
x= 12⋅100÷365 which give us just shy of 3.3% of the time. That's how much of my time I've spent riding, and this was a very good year.
