Evening Woods.
Did some more house stuff today then went for a 2 hour “I’m getting outta this house” ride. Felt pretty good.
Now grilled veggies and halibut are on the traeger.

The grasshoppers are terrible up here. The bottom half of the bike is a mess.

I'm not sure that's right so I sent an email to the aftermarket tank manufacturer to see if that is a correct installation. Anyway the knee felt good for the 4 miles I was on the bike.

It takes 10 minutes to make a left turn during the day with all the traffic ... I thought it was going to be a quick simple trip.

Hey, Tim.
Grasshoppers haven't been too bad in my area.

The truth is she turned me onto the tradition. She and her sister used to go to the annual flea market in a community nearby and the beer and hot dog thing was her doing.

Yes, but his mummified corpse was priced outrageously.

Honestly, I'm not into it either. My Dad and I used to do it every weekend. He was an avid antique collector. I got burned out on it by the age of 16. It got better when he got into guns and that's all we did were guns shows. But I can handle once a year. Especially when beer and hot dogs are in the mix.

We finally had a good couple days of rain up here. Been over two months for a good rain. Pretty dry and crops are scary.
