The devil tried to keep us from even going this year... I was
installing Carolyn's seat on The Log Truck... when I removed
my seat, there was a mouse nest! I hoped they hadn't
chewed any wires!
Their nest was made of a material from the workshop shed.
They must have made it when I was refurbishing the slave
cylinder a few months ago. The Log Truck spends almost
all of its time in the smaller shed. There was a snake skin
in the nest, I guess they got what was coming to them?
They exclusively chewed the wires to my CB. Which
I don't have... just a pigtail left over from when I
removed it when I got the bike in 2007. I just taped
them up so they weren't bare or touching each other
and called it good.
The devil hit us again half way there. There's a mile
long construction zone on the road to Hayesville.
We got stuck for an eternity... maybe even a half
hour... as cars took turns trickling through the single
open lane.
On average the normal amount of hijinks took place
Friday and Saturday evening. Everyone made a big
deal of Joe's impending retirement with a cake and
everything.
Saturday was The T-Bird Ride... there were two
of Terry's bikes there, Brian and Theresa have
the black interstate...
Dennis and Shelia have the yellow bike...
In retrospect, I was glad to have been a few bikes
back from the yellow bikes...
Willow came all the way out here for another ride, and I
caught him on the spy cam...
Sunday morning...
They'll have to keep the fires burning till next year...
