Introducing Monty

My friends in Vermont sent me this cute guy. I have to fill out his adoption papers but have named him Monty because he was made and shipped from Vermont. I have not come up with a name for his canine friend yet.

All ideas for names will be considered so please submit your suggestions.

Monty never rides without his proper gear. When he takes off on his Harley Davidson his side kick rides in the sidecar. Both have helmets. His unnamed companion also keeps his paws covered at all times whilst riding.

woo hoo . . .

The Ball is Very Important

Annie is obsessive. Ball dah Ball! All that matters is the BALL. Throw the BALL.

It is the Ball, the whole BALL, and nothing but the BALL. And just in case you missed it – Annie wants you to know it is the big red object in her mouth LOL The BALL. ..

Pleasant Distraction

Augh….sigh

I rode up to the Marysville area tonight. I know this sounds silly but I needed a ride. Traffic was awful leaving Sacramento. I know there was a target on my motorcycle or my jacket that said – commuters lock onto this – attack. LOL.  After navigating through the gauntlet I hit open road. It was nice just going foward with no particular destination.

I could smell the rice fields, a faint odor from the orchards that is present in the late spring early summer. The sky was cloudy with the smell of rain. Rather a strange sensation the smells of summer intertwined with the visions of  a late winter sky. I ended up stopping to visit some friends in Olivehurst. A bowl of home made cobbler and back toward Sacramento. My windshield is so covered with bugs I could barely see through it when I pulled into the complex. Bugs zero – Kmilyun 100,000,000 hee haw!

I have not ridden much in the last two years. I did ride up to Loon Lake last summer and camped out all week. My coordination is not the best – not a good deal on a motorcycle. I have worked long and hard to be able to go for a ride – especially one without someone following me in my truck – eyes open – just in case. I have worked puzzles, built models, stood in the corner with my eyes closed on a pillow, squeezed little foam pieces, shuffled cards, played with clothspins, and now I guess I am as good as I will get. I now take a GPS with me everywhere I go. I can use the trackback feature if I have to to find my way back home. Just in case.

Changes

This blog is dead.

Summer is here and there are many things to do. Motorcycle rides, hikes with the dogs, fishing, and coffee gatherings in the evening.

Not that I expected some mass of great blog readers but more than the two that this blog has gone down to – well…

It takes a lot of time to write a good political article. Then very few read it anyway. I am not a photographer. My interests are not the norm. An old article that I deleted that mentioned YouTube is still the largest search engine magnet. Sad.

There are many great blogs that cover just about anything and everything.

The only thing they can not cover is the reflection of my world. My little hole in the earth. Apparently it is not that interesting hahahahahahha…………….

Well, friends of Bill, Sportster riders, dog owners, picture takers, and political hounds, I might see ya on YouTube. NOT!

The Britannia model now has deck houses etc.

I installed a kickstand extender on my 2004 Sportster Custom.

My fishing pole has new line.

Annie’s tail is all better.

California recieved money for our levee repairs.

Riding a motorcycle without a helmet = organ donor.

Life is good if you don’t weaken.
