I did.  I was planning on riding my motorcycle out to Brentwood, past 
Rio Vista, to meet some friends for a monthly lunch we've had going 
for many years, but ended up cranking up the Jensen instead.  I had 
to walk past it to get to the motorcycle garage and just didn't make 
it.  Went over the Oakville grade and out to Berryessa but instead of 
turning south accidentally (harhar) turned north instead and spent 
the rest of the day happily exploring the small roads around 
Berryessa.  Never made it to my lunch date.  Left home at 10 and 
rolled back into the garage at 5 pm, tired butt and sunburned.  The 
Jensen didn't miss a beat and proved itself to be faithful, though 
I've only had it on the road a few weeks so I took a toolbox just in 
case.  Burned a tank of gas, got a few nice compliments, and easily 
kept up with a group of sportbike squids carving the canyons.  They 
had more power but I carried more speed through the corners.  Now 
THAT was fun.

And as one father to the rest of you out there: have a good day 
Sunday.  You deserve it.
