In past years, weatherr permitting, I have gethered my first few letters on New Year's Day The last few years, HOG has not published a magazine cover until the second or third week in January Today, I called HOG support and asked when they would be putting a cover on line The nice agent said 1/16/2019 but she could email a PDF to me so that I could print it out and start I printed it and laminated my copy and headed out the door As fate would have it, about an hour later, the 2019 HOG Touring Handbook arrived in the mail
Monday January 7
Beautiful day, first ride of the year to collect letters
j First stop was Los Gatos Post Office	Then Monte Sereno City Hall
Last photo today is the Saratoga Post Office It was getting evening traffic time so I came home after only a short ride It's forecast for rain for the next 6-7 days so this is it for a while
Sunday January 13
An afternoon between rainy days, so I headed out for the Southern East Bay to collect letters
First stop was at the Alviso Post Office	Second stop was Newark Civic Center
Further north is Union City I intended a photo at the post office, but a truck was parked blocking a photo opportunity.  Took a photo at a city park	Over to Fremont and the City Hall
Last stop of the day was at the Alameda Superior Court
