well with all the precip we have recieved of recent...i've traded my wheels for something that floats......did'nt get rid of the wheels but added some much needed balast to the bubble in the level....lord with the heat and humidity coupled with the heat index the week before last sent my needle to sticking......so i've decided when heat+
humidity+heat index=century mark plus...its time to find something
more liquid...you know what i mean....float the boat....soak the toes...
sit and chill a spell....so i "won a kayak" (you do pay for winning on ebay) but i did stumble across the USS Lucy (named after the wifes kitty) she's a twelve foot long Wilderness Tarpon 120 sit on top...no need to sit in the big ole state of Tejas...its to hot...so why not roll on off get fully dipped!...Went out last Sunday with a cooler...a spinning real with a spinner bait and scrounged up a few fishies...twuz truly
quite, peaceful...and darn enjoyable....so hoist your drinks matey....and throw one down in honor of the summer and the USS Lucy...

speakin of pigs...had a mighty fine lunch courtesy of their cousin's baby back jalepeno ribs....with tatertot casserole..after the morning lap at Muleshoe....
Riding Muleshoe was pleasant change of pace...got to ride with ole friends recently relocated back to the 'A' town.

porch....movies with the kids....days in the park....walks with the dog...
walks with the wife....swings on the porch...post ride beers with my friends o many....i'm looking forward to a wonderful summer....

Well needed to stretch out the dogs Sunday...they were feeling quite
wooden after Saturday's lil drubbing....so I stayed close to casa and
hopped over the fence...yeah...trespassin..fence jumpin...violators will
be shot ...forget about the danger think of the fun......really kind of
nice monochromatic day...lots of grey clouds...really making greens green....

I'm making skippity doo dah...and stumble three lil piggies...sep these ain't your ordinary wilbur piggies...they are the pig's gone wild
variety...and three of them are quite large with littler piggies in tow...
kind of fun seeing how pigs gone wild live.....

onward up cow trail...and i come across a pond with a windmill that
has grapevine enveloping its base.....really quite charming...

and as the photo depicts that there is a train crain with my good ole
bicycle hoisted .....dinked around a while....looked at some
blue bonnets...and ventured back towards my starting point via
different route...came across a really cool remains of a cow....i
think i might have to go back and reclaim the cow....talk about scare
the kids.....

well the wood in my legs has been nicely removed...and i now
have a hankering for some sausage an ribs....
