CATCHING UP

As many of you know, I have a lot going on health wise, so I haven't really had much of a chance to catch up with a few things that I intended to put on the blog. 

First, I thought I would share a note I received in the mail a couple of days ago.

That should make all of us feel good!

As some of you also know, our two "iron butts", Jim and Mike, recently went on an adventure to Chattanooga, TN, and other points south.  Here's some photos of their journey.

They visited Southern Honda, the largest Gold Wing dealer in the United States. However, the only thing they bought was a t-shirt!

While in Chattanooga, they took the incline railroad up to the top of Lookout Mountain where the "Battle of the Clouds" took place during the Civil War.

Of course they had to patronize Bucees, find a coffee hot spot, and chow down.

And what would a trip down that way be without a ride on The Dragon?!

But I think the Cherohala Skyway is a better ride.

They put 700 miles on one day, just to make it back to Iowa for Big Boy.

WEDNESDAY'S RIDE & HOSPICE RIDE

If the weather lets us ride Wednesday night, the 10th, it will be Bob's last Wednesday one for a while.  His scheduled surgery is the next Wednesday, the 17th, so you will need new leaders for some upcoming Wednesdays.  He goes up to Emplify (Gundersen) this Friday, the 12th,  for some final check ups.  He plans on riding in the Hospice Ride on Sunday, the 14th. His plan is to leave Casey's at 9 AM that morning, get to Win-Med for the breakfast, get signed up, and go on the ride.  Anyone wishing to ride along with him that morning is welcome. That will probably be his last ride for a while.

He's my favorite singer.  Guess who?  Hope he didn't burn his pant leg like I did on that bike!
