I've been reading that gasoline may still keep going up in price. I guess the bike will be getting a good workout this summer if that happens. At 40+ mpg it only makes sense....except on days of inclement weather of course!
Summer has come in like a steam roller.....or a steam bath on a steam roller....anyway, it's hot and humid. I can still stand to...

Rode out to Omaha to see an old friend of mine on Saturday and Sunday. Seems I caused a bit of a stir. She is dating someone new and she tells me that he got a little bent out of shape, when he found out I was staying over night with her, even though we are just great friends and I stayed in her spare...

Why have I used so many exclamation marks, I look too silly and excited now... Yesterday was 7 hour road tirp, with a 5 hour Dr.'s appointment in the middle of it.
I took my Mom to Iowa City, to the University of Iowa's orthopeadic clinic, to see if they could do anything to fix her spine. Unfortunatly, her vertebrae and to far gone, with to many compression fractures, osteoporosis and loss of bone density, for them to be able...

High pressure.....ya gotta love it!
Bright deep blue skies, with clouds that look more like wisps of smoke than clouds...mid 70's temps...a light breeze...this is what late spring is supposed to be like....now THAT'S what I'm talking about!
This afternoon is my weekky 4 hour sojourn into the world of lawn mowers and the smell of newly mown grass. If I don't get it today,...

I've missed you all. It's nice that you're doing great!
It's nice that you're doing great! Finally, a day with little or no rain forecast and sunshine abounds!
I have these dark brown spots and patches on my arms and the backs of my hands! Actually, I know exactly where they came from and how I got them. The first day of my recent motorcycle trip was fairly warm and sunny for the first 3/4 of the ride, I was able...

oh my goodness, she moves your coffee cup?? the cleaning lady is crazy!
i always have really tan arms, and a white bum and white legs. i love wearing tank tops or sleeveless things, but (especially when i was living in San Francisco) i tend to keep the legs covered. this picture is a great example. look at my shoulder and then look at my bum.
now that the weather is warming up, i'm thinking of getting some shorts to run around in on the weekends, but still, what to do about the bum?! i simply cannot abide by a tanning booth.
i bet your polka dots are awesome.

your poor hand! next time you go for a long motorcylce trip, tell me you'll coat the exposed parts in waterproof SPF 80. ha. i bet i can't get an Iowa man to change his habits that easily.
so tell me, are their any upcoming rides on the horizon?

It's been almost 24 hours since the last rainfall....maybe it's going to stop raining. But now, we're under a tornado watch....all in all, I'd rather have the rain than a tornado.
Tomorrow and the rest of the week, through next Monday are supposed to be spectacular....finally!

That's kind of why I like having just a few really good friends here, that way I can keep up with all of them on a regular basis and not let anyone get lost in the crowd. Just my $.02 worth.
I'm sure you suffered through more rain this past weekend....as I did. Suffered is not the right word, but yeah, it did rain again....and again....and again....
that is precisely the philosophy i am moving towards, with regards to the friends list.
and yes. we got rain and rain and more rain this weekend in kansas. just like iowa. in fact, it is still raining this morning, goldurnit! rawr. makes me grumpy!
Gee....here it is Friday already. It feels like it should only be a Tuesday....and a Tuesday about a month ago at that....how does time fly by so fast?
We had more rumbles and showers in the night. It would be a severe understatement to say that we seem to be stuck in a pattern here. The weather gods say more of the same is in...

It's a dark and stormy morning....guess I should've slept in! Oh well....sometimes you wake up and you just can't sleep anymore. Anyway, the thuder is rumbling...the lightening is flashing....and the rain is coming down in buckets right now. I think it's a fast moving storm and it should be over in just a little while....until the next one rolls in later today.......SIGH!

Warm and humid.....finally something to make the corn grow!!
Washed up my bike last night, from the South Dakota trip. I was surprised at how few bug splatters I had. I guess it was still cool enough up there, that the bugs weren't out in full force yet. It was good to get it all clean and shiney again. After all, whats the use of...

Hi Sabre!
I know what you mean about the A/C. Schlorff and I wouldn't make it here without it. So wierd to take a shower, then step outside, and immediately start sweating.
I will laugh today when I think of you on your tractor. I always loved riding the tractor out at the RV park that we owned. it was from the 40's, and was so vintage, you know and so fun to bump around on.
Much love,
Rose

Sorry for the Sabre-neglect.
