The Bike is home....

Carla and I left for Lincoln this morning to pick up the Harley after the oil tank repair. It was above freezing when we left and a nice toasty 40 degrees by the time we got there. We spent about an hour talking and looking around (Carla picked out a $300 Harley Davidson necklace forValentines Day) When we left the temp was up to 45 and we left without the necklace.
On the way home I showed Carla a couple of the bars where I have made friends. We went by the joint in Roca and no cars or bikes outside so we went on to Hickman. (I was on the bike and Carla was driving her car behind me.) We went by Sadie's and no bikes there. While in Hickman we went by Jack's house. His truck was parked outside and the garage door was down. He must have been taking a nap? Next stop was Spraque. Even though there were no bikes we went in and had a pop and a bag of chips. Back outside we decided to part ways and head home. The tempature in Beatrice was 48 and it was 49 when I got home. I took my winter gears off, put on the leathers and rode around town.

Saturday afternoon and the bike is done

It's Saturday, over 40 degrees and just got a call saying my bike is ready to "Rock and Roll". I told Mark I wished I was in Lincoln now.
Tomorrow the high is suppose to be 22 and the bike shop is on winter hours and closed on Monday anyway.
Stacy's divorce court date is Tuesday. Carla and I will drive up Tues, go to the trail and I will ride my bike back around 4 o'clock. 40 to 45 degree so will be able to really try out the new cold weather gear.
Maybe weather in the 50's next weekend.
Oh! Next weekend. Brother Jim's son Bob's fourth child, Chloe, is getting baptized Sunday and Stacy will be her God mother. Bob and his wife Nicolle have 4 childern, Cole and Caroline, (twins) Caleb and Chloe. Two boys and two girls and I think they said they were done.....

Super Bowl Sunday

It's Super Bowl Half Time and Tom Petty sure looks old. I'm glad I haven't aged :-) I haven't gone outside all day and really haven't been out much all week. The battery tray on the bike was also cracked and the dealer didn't have one of those in stock. It will be at least another 4 days before I get it back, then the weather will be raining or snowing plus the cold. The weather down south isn't good for riding either. Hope I am not stuck to the couch when it finally warms up....
The game is back on...
