George and I went for a quick Sunday evening ride. It was nice to get out after all the rain we’ve been having. Seems like it rained for two weeks around here. There were several flooded fields, and one road we had to slow way down for, but it was a good ride. We just went down to Post and back…nothing special just get out for a bit before supper.

I have officially turned 35 years old. Family and friends made it another great birthday too. I received all kinds of birthday wishes, and gifts. Everything from rice-krispy treats, Harley Davidson merch & parts, to a new iPhone 4. Some of the gifts came in the form of good old US bills, so I decided to put that towards things I was wanting for the bike and all.

George used to go down once a month to take care of the place – I think we’ll start doing the same to lessen the breakdowns and yard work when actually there to have fun. None the less – We did have fun. To make a little re-cap, and fill in the blanks – we’ll start with last years hunting…

Byt the time you read this…we will be on our vacation and loving every minute of it. I am not trying to rub it in too much, but hey this vacation is well deserved by all of us. It has been a rough year, and though it has calmed down and we’ve all adjusted fairly well – thank God, we just need to get away.
