Knocked out the front yard this morning. Finished 3/4 of the backyard when it ran out of gas again. It definitely needs a bigger gas tank. Blades either dull, or a bad design. However, it was cheap, it knocks grass down and it's good exercise

Day 4 without a cigar. That one in the last picture, was the last one. Friend of mine is fighting gall bladder cancer. Ironically, he never smoked tobacco. Trying to drop the habit, again. So, definitely had better days

Evening Woodsnitzes from Camp Wood. I believe that we have just about everything dried out now. I knew we were screwed and would not be able to skirt the storm when I felt the wing from the storm as we rounded a corner. Before we could find a safe place to pull off, I was already drenched. The girls literally jumped into their wet weather gear while Chuck and I had zipper issues on our jackets. Didn’t even bother to put the wet weather pants on, just put my wallet in the saddlebag as I was already soaked.

The motel we are staying at is nice and owner, Laura, went down the street and bought us some beer. Tomorrow, we’ll finish the Sisters, ride to Ingram then make the run home so I can get a brisket on the smoker. I hope Chuck is taking his Ibuprofen and doesn’t watch his odometer.

It would. As one who I have enjoyed fellowship with, has qualities I admire and always want it to remain so i hope my analogy is taken in its intended spirit.

You now know why all your life you've heard 'my relative who was in combat during (conflict) never said much about it'. To bring it closer to the commonality we share, we all share the experience of motorcycle riding with one another; usually not with those who don't ride.

Evening, fellas.
Went to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner to celebrate yesterday's anniversary. We had conflicting schedules yesterday.
