Well.I modified the brake pedal on my 400 cc quad outlander and went for a 
cruise along the Virgin River and the local foot hills. Came home and went 
to The Earth day display and art show just outside Zion National park, 
stopped by Vesco's house for a short visit.

Came home had a scotch & soda and watched the Nascar race at Phoenix. Today 
it's a drizzling but should keep the dust down if I go for another ride in 
the dirt.
