In 2025 I had a custom Harley Road Glide trike built. I still haven’t written about that in my other blog, Geek on a Harley– one day that too will manifest. But I got a custom license plate for it, and felt talking about that plate was a bit more suited to this, my main blog.

The last quarter of 2025 was a bit of a mess for me health-wise. It started in October with some kind of sciatic nerve disruption that left me essentially crippled and, on some days, crawling on the floor to move about. It ended with me in the Daly Pavilion for mental abnormality reasons.
