Please don't gear up for a squabble!

Couldn't stand it, had several hours of dry and abandoned the chores. Expected mud so took the mud bike, but even the farm roads were dry. Nice to get out where I could putt around for several miles with zero traffic. Thought about swapping bikes and taking the sporty back out, but it started raining. 80+, high humidity, not bad when moving, but I put the shirt and helmet in the trunk when I got off the paved roads. Felt wunnerful.

Wish there were more "Travel at your own risk" roads around here. Forgot to check the gas before I left, hit reserve out here. Still had about a half gallon when I got to a station. Put some air in the tires but forgot go juice, I'm getting senile.


Lot of low lying areas never got planted, still has standing water in many places. Just weeds in this field this year.


Looks purty, but step in the shade and get swarmed by mosquitoes. County must have put a good layer of fresh gravel down this spring, this road has had plenty of mud puddles after a rain in past years.

Beth & Nataly are going to Target to look at new eyeglasses tonight, Benjamin & I are going to church for a kids activity...Slip N Slide Kickball. Slip N Slides are the base lines and you slide to the bases, which are inflatable wading pools

You might be able to ride something my 600cc scooter with the sidecar. Linked brakes, no shift, could do it all with the right hand. Would you consider something like that if it turned out to be the only way to ride? Even better would be the new auto transmission Gold Wing with a sidecar, but that would cost a bunch.
