The question is which bike.


Have a basic plan and then let life fill in the blanks.

Cool is a relative term Alan. After successive nights of -10F them thar hills might seem balmy at 45F

After what we consider an absolutly terrible winter, all the snow melted in two days with three days of rain and now everything is flooded.

I went down to watch the platte river, normally four feet deep or less, now about a half mile or more across with hugh trees and a large trash dumpster floating by. problem is my gun club with 8 traps is on the river bottom.

Hey Boys!

I can't believe it's only three weeks until the British invasion at the Blowing Rock inn. I'm assuming if I haven't heard from one of the regulars I need to hold their room. I still have plenty of rooms available, so if there is someone who usually doesn't come that needs a room just give me a call.

See everybody soon.
