☕☕ Breakfast Club

Morning y'all. Have a nice 4 hour ride going to granddaughter`s graduation today and returning on Sunday. Looking forward to a relaxing ride. I'm taking a slightly different route and doing some exploring on the way up there. Hopefully everyone has a nice end of the week.

Well, so much for nice weather. Got about halfway and hit rain. Stopped at Sonic for a bit.

Morning y'all. Granddaughters graduation is today. She's made me proud, graduated a year early, got 4 different scholarships thru cheer and FFA. We're just hanging around today after graduation and family party is tomorrow. Life is good.

Everyone, meet the new graduate.

Good morning from my last day in Nevada. While it is nice to be back in civilization, there is a lot of nice things to be said about the high desert.

Vik is waiting for Kermit to finish this short climb
Desert flowers are cool.


I took Kermit up to see the lay of the land.



Poppy fields are in full bloom.

Well, like George Castanza (of “Seinfeld” show) said: “I’m BACK, baby”. I haven’t been on the forum since early April. I wasn’t able to ride much in April, save the warm up mid-month; cold, rain, sleet, and fat rain the rest of the month. My wife of 50 yrs has been laid up with back and leg pain so I don’t do any overnight rides. I canceled trips to AR and IN as well as ND (that’s the Amazing Challenge treasure hunt in Spearfish ND (Black Hills area). I was really looking forward to seeing that area…but the missus recovery is the priority. But through local day rides, RTE, and fun run contest for IL district of EWMA I’ve put on more than 2k mi. this yr. Silva now has over 70k now.
Now about what Les wrote earlier:

Morning y'all. Had one heck of a gully washer last night. Not sure how much but puddles everywhere. Sun's starting to peak over hills so looks to be nice day. Been trying to figure out what has been setting off rear motion light in the dog run. This morning I look out and have three deer on outside of fence eating grass, mystery solved. Guess they heard me talking about the grass and weeds getting high by the cliff. Poor picture, it's thru a wet window.

When I visited TX the locals would call heavy rains “frog strangler” . Question Les: how does that compare with a gully washer ?
Oh, here’s me on theater hunt:

Another theater pic:

Afternoon y'all. Late night last night with graduation and dinner afterwards. Here's a few pictures from last night of granddaughter and my youngestson. No, I didn't approve of her dress, and yes, I'm really that short.

Congrats to all - enjoy the moment - I don’t see any shrinking violets there. We just saw our second youngest grandson graduate HS; one pic Jeremy with my wife and I - the other pic is his goofy dad…
