Friday


Today the weather is planning to warm up to 95F. Heidi, MIL's dog, thought hanging around with me while I watered flowers was extremely boring, and was only semi-enthused about going for a walk. Maybe she knows she has a hair appointment at noon. When she's all cleaned up and sweet smelling, I'll take her over to see her Mommy. I wish she'd be happier about visiting MIL. She's not keen. Guess she's too young. I feel bad for Mom when Heidi is more outgoing and friendly with about everyone else at the nursing home than she is with Mom. With her, Heidi's just, "OK, I've said hi, now let's go home," and Mom's all Heidi come here, lay down and grabs her tight and holds her, which Heidi doesn't appear to like.

These bikes are waiting their turn to get gassed up. A new seat came from England yesterday for the older BSA, more like the original seat that came with the bike. This seat is not as comfortable as it looks, and it's so ugly! The original seat and therefore the new seat, not the seat in the picture, has springs, which I think HH calls shock absorbers. Some of the required bolts were back ordered, so HH was looking through his bolt collection for something that would make do for now. He's got it on the bike, and it looks fine, but didn't sound completely satisfied with his jerry-rigging.

I like your new bike Vita.

I didn't know that you had Heidi living with you. I guess I'd forgotten about her, because she hadn't had her long, before making a change. She is pretty young, and I imagine that's actually a good thing, in the long run. Easier for her, than it would have been for a much older dog.

I hope all is well.

Take care.

MIL should ignore Heidi and not look at her when she is brought in. Once she knows she ain't gonna get "clutched" she should gradually come around. (A nice "treat" as a reward for attention might also help.

Nice bike line-up. Two "Beesas" and a Guzzi - my kind of motorsickles.

These dogs these days! No manners! Geesh. (haha) How sweet of you to gussy up the pooch to go see his momma. Do you ride? My brother had an Electra glide (former cop bike) when I was a teenager. I love going for rides but have never driven one.
