I'm envious. 30 years of riding bikes and I still haven't made that trip. Didn;t realize your husband had a bike. I bought a Sportster last year that was too good to pass up,  my fourth, ride it locally, and am honestly kinda wanting to buy a larger road bike. Held off doing so because deep down I want another Corvette more. LOL

You're a biker dude? With all your talk about sports cars and old cars, I never would have guessed.

My uncle Fred likes motorcycles too, but he hasn't ridden his in years and years. But with all he knows about engines, he could still get it running if he had time.

He actually doesn't own one now. He had one when we first got married.. I think it was a Honda Shadow or something like that. He sold it though because he needed something else to drive to work. He's got some really good friends (or maybe they're not so smart? LOL) and he's letting him borrow his Harley. His friend is also on the trip of course. They even added him to THEIR insurance. I'm always a bundle of nerves with those kinds of things because I know that wouldn't be cheap to fix if something happens haha. I know he's living the dream this week tho, so I'm trying to stay positive hahaha.

I'm HOPING to get a lot of work done on the house while they're gone. Less people/pets walking around getting into things so I can just work through all my junk hahaha.

Back over a week now from the week I spent in Arkansas with my little squish. Miss him and his parents already. Survived the week at work after a week off. It's been BUSY every single day. Jeremy left this morning on a motorcycle trip out west with some friends. They're going to Sturgis. It should be interesting. Then he's going to be staying up in WI for the recertification training for Athena. So in all he'll be gone 2.5 weeks or so. It's weird not having Athena around when he's out of town tho. LOL. She's going to hang out at her trainers' house/kennels while he's on his motorcycle trip.

After a week and a half of "retirement," I have to say this is for the birds. I'm still young enough that retirement is boring. I hope dad gets his other fake foot soon and gets his feet back under him, literally and figuratively, so I can get back to the job.

Fortunately from what I have observed from people around me, by the time I get old enough to really retire I will probably actually look forward to it.

The only other real news from my corner is that I got some fake dragonflies to hang up around the outside of the house. I am hoping that will deter all the red wasps. Google claims they really work. We shall see.

I hate that we aren't as active anymore.

I've always heard that will happen as we get older, and it sure has.

Well, I could make up rumors about you for old time sake.

You mean for your sake. Nothing to do with old time. You love that...
 Good to see a mini (as in small, not as in Sasquatch) revival! LOL.
Accomplished some things this weekend. Water heater installed in Chey's apartment, minisplit a/c installed in the apartment, and had the brother in law come pull a vacuum on it. It'll freeze you out. Got several things yet to do at the house- owning a home means work is never done. But it's slowly coming around...

I'm sitting in the church parking lot borrowing the wifi to check in.  We had revival services Sunday, Monday, and tonight with Bro. Jonathan Atkins. Our pastor decided revival was a good excuse to start another remodel on the media room.  He and another brother took out the window that used to be between the media room and the auditorium so we're not having to watch through a darkened glass that was put there originally so moms with infants could tend the infant without watching eyes.
