Almost finished with the second raised bed (this year), digging the hole that will be under the next one for the dirt to finish this one off. Arms and shoulders are holding up ok the past couple days, one more of these and I'll have half the planned project done.

My 6 year old granddaughter swims underwater faster than the rest of the family can swim on top. Swims dolphin style, arms straight back, kicks both legs together. First time I saw her swim across the pool underwater, I wondered how the hell she moved that fast. Don't recall seeing anyone swim that way before, though it's not something I've paid much attention to, wonder where she learned it. I'm a slug underwater. Not much better on top.

 

Hey Chris, standing on two feet! That’s great 😃

 

Standing today ...... racing tomorrow !! Keep up the good work Chris.

 

We had a great ride to eat seafood. Then we went down to San Antonio and caught some live music. Ran into a bunch of old friends including the drummer from the first band I ever played in. He was out riding too on his '96 Springer Bad Boy. Good to see him and all the rest.

 

Evening gents! Had a nice hike today. More of a mountain climb really. Covered a lot of vertical in 4 miles. Fortunately it was cool and dry so very comfortable the whole time.



We had views of St Helens, Rainier, Adams, and Hood.



Just getting to the trailhead was an adventure. The last couple miles of Forest Road were pretty sketchy. The recommendation is to have a high clearance off road vehicle. Fun fact - the company supplied Equinox serves in a pinch.

 

Beautiful area Bob...

I used to elk hunt in terrain like that, and steeper. Man I was tough and in shape back then. Horseback and foot....

 

Well Pearl is buttoned up again....

Brand new molex connectors and solid wiring from switch housing to under the tank. It took longer to pin and build the connectors than it did to hook up the wires.













and the money shot, because I'm proud of Pearl.....

 

@LoneBone
Jack, I'm all grow'd up now (!). Would you build me a Pearl? Damn, that's pretty ride.
Someday I won't be muscling this bagger around everywhere, anymore.

 

I realized I forgot to mention, I was standing on only one leg. Can't put weight on my left, but progress is progress.

Just woke up from a nap. The day kicked my ***.

 

Damn right I will Stan.

Find a used Heritage for the right price and we can make her look just like Pearl. I love my Baggers, but after riding them, hopping on Pearl is like riding a dirt bike. You can throw her anywhere....
