Back from the dentist, she says I'm good to go. Now off to crush some dreams at the HOA meeting this evening. Have two residents coming tonight for the Board to hear their cases. One never filed for approval to install solar panels on their home and they have them installed facing the street, that's a no-no. The other wants us to change the rules concerning plastic sheds, that again will be a no-no. Should be short meeting, maybe Kristi and I will be out having margaritas and sangria tonight!

Give my best to Kayla and Daniel!

Afternoon, Russ. Back yard looked like 3rd cut of the U.S. Open so guess what I did after the Doc?

The King will not be replaced (there's the heavy heart part) as I have come to the conclusion that life has changed a lot in the past 2 years and my focus is on family and camping. I was lamenting with my wife this weekend, and a Harley has been such a HUGE part of my life for nearly a decade and I never saw these changes coming, but they are here.

They are good and fun changes, but a lot of different than what I thought it would. We purchased some lakefront property and my free time and free cash flow are being spent at the lake. So much so that when I am not at the lake, I dream of the lake.

Whew, that was heavy, so back to your regularly scheduled program.

Gotta do what ya gotta do.

Bikes have been with me since the mid 60's, always seemed to have one to ride when needed.
Can't remember all the brands I've had, but there were a lot of them, always seemed to be a part of me.

That may not be for to much longer either, age, physical conditions, fishing and most of all, Lori's condition, she's at that stage now that rides are further and further apart.

When she can't ride anymore, the scooter gets sold.

You'll miss it I'm sure, but you have other things to take up your time now.
I'd bet like me, you'll hate to see it go down the driveway without you on it.

I'd like to see pics of the new Sonoma kitchen. How did your pool pump work out?

I would bet that after surveying the condition of your yard, you sat down to have a beer and contemplate the real necessity of cutting the !!@Q@#$%^&*() grass in such extreme heat. Probably followed that up with another beer and then the executive decision to delay cutting until after a nap when the temps have begun to wane.

Russ, pool pump was repaired, today, by me. She dumped enough shock in to burn the bathing suit off an 18 year old pin up girl...the pool water was perfectly clear and I was shocked. 200 bucks for motor rebuild and I am golden.

I believe the back yard was a 4 beer endeavor plus a 1 beer planning session.

When I get the water lines hooked up to outdoor kitchen I will post pics.
