FLASHLIGHT ON HEAD

When I saw this bright light I was impressed. What an invention! This old school mechanic also knows how to play psycho billy. You need to see him on stage to believe it.

ANOTHER OLD SHOOL MECHANIC

Now wouldn't you rather trust this face to tell you about you motorcycle worries?

OLD SCHOOL MOTORCYCLE MECHANIC

On the interstate they call them certified technicians. They dress alike and have to wear badges to tell who they are. Same as it ever was.

OLD SCHOOL MOTORCYCLE OWNER

Big Decision

After years of motorcycles and a career of working in parts management I decided to move on. It was a very big shock, but I'm OK with it now. The big decision was choosing not to ride my Harley anymore. Grand kids are my focus which is pretty darn fun. The other day my husband loaded up my wide glide and I took it to our favorite old school motorcycle shop. The owner has been in the same location for over 30 years. It is on a small scale compared to the huge dealerships you find on the interstate, but they are very knowledgeable about all types of bikes especially vintage. I sometimes work there to help out, but I'm mainly at the little grocery store. My bike is getting restored back to stock so my husband can ride it. I went a lot of miles to the mountains, Mississippi River, Wyoming, Black Hills, races, and lots of poker runs. Close the book.

Thunder and LIghtning

I've spent the whole day on the computer trying to do my ebay. Also, downsizing clutter and listening to the weather. These clouds are outside my door to the deck. I kept the door open to really hear the full effect of the rain. The thunder and lightning has been non stop since way early this morning. Let's see...wow it's 4:40 pm. I love it! There's another one that shook the house!

The Tree

I discovered this tree on one of my country drives. Look how perfect it is. I'll take another picture when it gets leaves.

The Haymarket

This is the coffee house my husband and I like to hang out at. After we stumble through the farmers market we sit on the deck and visit with other people. The Mill has a lot of character. I'm with my friend at the coffee house across the street. She prefers it because there's more light. Next to the Mill is our favorite Italian restaurant. To get to it you have to walk down a corridor to some double wide doors. Across from this entrance is a small outdoor courtyard with a fountain. We like sitting by the windows and watching all the people. At Christmas there are twinkle lights on all the buildings. So serene.

Yea!!! It's here!!! The banner for the farmers market! I'm with my friend Cindy at one of our blogging meetings. I looked up out the window and sure enough it was the banner. This is a sure sign of spring.

This is a crazy climate. Preparing for Easter with a tornado one hour, and winter weather advisories the next hour. Both missed the house thank goodness. Soon for the summer! Like the cartoon Maxine quotes, there are two seasons...allergy and flu!
