Nice day to see a pig


.........





......

Today was another beautiful day for riding a motorcycle, so that is what I did. Kristin and I went for another ride. This time we went to the river. It was around noon. I was asking Kristin if there was a coffee place by the river. She said she didn't think there was. In fact there are very few places along the river that serve anything such as food and beverages. We did find one though that was open. We were able to buy a cup of coffee and sit on a porch and look out over the river. We noticed that there were two giant wind turbines, that were sitting on top of a mountain, or hill, that were not there the last time we were there. It is the sign of the times. Green energy. It was nice just sitting there and watching things and people. It was quite calming except for the two drag boats that were racing on the river. They were extremely loud and annoying. They didn't stay too long so it was not too distracting from what we were doing, which was nothing. As we continued on our ride we stopped at a motorcycle shop that I have not been in before. It's not too far from our house. The owner was a real nice guy. I asked him what he charged for labor to work on a motorcycle. The price was $55.00 an hour. That is a great price. That is $30.00 an hour cheaper than a Harley Davidson dealer. There were a couple of bikes that he built. They were both really cool. On our ride we also saw a pot belly pig that looked pretty funny. That is one of the benefits of riding a motorcycle. You get to see a lot of things that you normally wouldn't see while riding in a car. Anyway that is my day. As usual we talk about Jed and always get signs from him. It is just so hard, the missing him, the physical him. Jed we love you and miss you everyday. Of course you all ready know that. Goodnight world.
