My mom came over this weekend - which was nice. She likes to redecorate my house and weed my garden ... she is a bit crazy. She took my family out to dinner (last week was my bday and my wife's too). Went shopping at Menards in Cambridge, bought a yummy vice & stuff to attempt to
Sat I attempted to make some brackets & stuff to chop the tail off of my monster. Had everything off & came to the conclusion that I need a kit for it to look right. After a few hrs of disassembly & making brackets it took 1 hr (max) to put it all back together.
Sun I mowed the lawn, washed my monster. Rode my "loop" which goes from my house (near North Branch) to Taylors, over to hy 65 off of 8 (WI) took down to New Ritchmond, then over to Sommerset (just in time for the Grateful Dead/Dylan concert) & some "honies" dragging their tubes from the river in their swim suits! Took the bridge over to Stillwater & followed 95 up to hy 50-something. The road that goes to Square Lake. Followed this road to Marine on St Croix - had a coke in front of the Marine General Store. Took back route through Marine up to Scandia , through Lindstrom & eventually North Branch. Approx 110 miles or so. This was my first "real" ride following my duc's coma.
Good weekend all around.
