Driving is bad for your stress level. So let your dad tote you around.

You can have some of our rain, I got the riding mower and cart stuck last night toting aged manure to the late corn patch. Rained like mad this afternoon too, Max is in the barn and isn't happy about it. He won't stand under his tree in a downpour (smart considering the lightning). And the rain has been really cold with a lot of high winds. We are still under severe thunderstorm warnings until at least 5 pm today.

Tomatos and bell peppers are setting fruit/coloring up. Muscadines are swelling up. Come over next month and we'll get a few gallons of wine started (I don't drink the stuff, more for you and Lisa I guess). Local peaches come in mid-July, early melons should be coming in too.

Early corn needs to hurry up so I can pull the stalks and put in fall crops. Various salad/cooking greens, carrots, etc.

Oh, we have places here that never see direct sunlight, so, nice try...

And I haven't ridden in going on a year.

New meds working on the hand and feet pain so I have been able to do more - flip side is my sleep schedule is totally wonked!

Very glad to hear that IBC is a learning expereince - its rare, but if it is caught early, it is treatable.

Looking forward to seeing the Skat pink items soon - thank you all!

Ride safe.

Thanks for the ride Kim - looks like it may be the only one I get for awhile! Have to go back to my 'virtual ride' and do mountain twisties to cool off!

Work has been NUTS and I have yet to ride this week - temps over 100 BEFORE the heat index is calculated.  Constant movement is the only way to survive on the MC, and my commute is too many traffic lites and stops on steaming black asphalt...ugh!  

This weekend I go to Philly (on the train!) for final testing before surgery is scheduled. May not be able to check in to the forum until late next week when I get back, so dont worry if you dont hear from me....just giving a heads-up since last time I was off for a bit and all sorts of things got started!  

Thank you to those who have donated to Fox Chase Cancer Center - they did notify me that they are receiving donations and they are grateful too!  

Skat, you do what you need to do and we'll be here when you are able to get back on the forum.

Let us know if you need anything, and I do mean anything.

Will be adding more pink to Genie soon..
Skat post when your back and feeling well.
Hugs and you know we care about you. hugs, kim

Skat's patch was front and center with me at the local CMA bike show this weekend. No trophy, but lots of good comments and a few "D@mn, I can't believe that's a Savage" head shakes. The CMA folk were very supportive of the meaning behind the patch so I'm sure your message got out and probably a few extra prayers sent your way! Took the long way home to end a beautiful Sunday afternoon here in river country!  

My ancestors and cousins have been fighting for Independence for over 800 years.  Someday they may get it right and there will be a free and united Ireland.  I know they will get the Celebration right because they have been practicing with us Yanks for over 200 years.  

Happy Birthday, USA.

Writing in pink so I’m not hi-jacking?
