Tough to Top this!


What a weekend! Started it out right Friday night when I stopped by the shop. I was discussing suspension stuff with Jim and next thing I know we're doing full throttle beat laps down the road behind the shop in This Car!!!! 3 days later and I still grin remembering the repeatedsessions of  full throttle wheel spin in third gear in a car that cost more to build than I make in about 5 years! I think that's my one time of getting to ride in a car like that,thanks Jim and Mike! It won best of show at the biggest car show in North America as well as in Pomona just recently. The car needs to be seen to be truly appreciated. Followed that up later with a spectacular fish fry at St. Lukes in Plain. Mmmm.
   Saturday had me dropping The Girls off at The Fraziers and then riding home from Cottage Grove. Bryan got me to Lodi and then I meandered home from there. Then it was off to the annual Wild Game Feed one of the Doctor's at St. Clare Hospital puts on every year. That's always a good night and it kicks off the silly season of food events in our area every year. The chili suppers and smelt feeds are starting this coming weekend and we can hit one every weekend in Feb until early March. I'm pretty sure if I stop riding I will rapidly become RK+.
   Sunday had us in Waukesha at The Braun's crib for Darrin's last big ride before the Life Changer shows up. We had almost the whole 212 carnival act in attendance and it was a good performance today fo sho. Mrs. Braun was in full life creation mode yet and had quite the arm rest going. I know she's going to miss that feature. Thanks to The Braun's for hosting and feeding us up! We'll be back after the neighborhood recovers from the shock and awe that was in effect today. Maybe Chris will let Michelle ride her new road bike next time...
