4-29-07 Therapy Ride

When I went to Friday Night Music at Joe’s bookstore I asked Joe if he felt like he had recovered enough to take a ride. He thought it would be fine unless he had another stroke……… Well, he decided that he would go ahead and try it. We were able to round up a nice group of Miles City bike riders. The plan was to meet a the bookstore at 9 am on Sunday morning.

Joe was appointed Lead Dog and his K75 was ready for a run. We headed south on Hwy 59 toward Broadus. 

The roads are not very tricky and there was plenty of opportunity to rubberneck and check out the country. The land is just starting to green-up and the day perfect for a ride.

I pulled out and passed the pack and tried to take a photo of everyone but this one of Roger is the only one I got.

We made it to Broadus and stopped at a restaurant and had a really nice breakfast of ham and eggs and I had the biscuits and gravy, which I hadn’t had for years. Yumm, yumm..

We stopped just outside of town and took the required group photos.

We stopped at Tucker and Glenna’s place on the way back. They just got a new puppy that I hadn’t had a chance to meet. This pup is a lab and her name is Sally jr, jr.

Tucker thought that Mark Weedings Vulcan needed a little adjustment.

Joe on his K75

Bruce Helland on his Blown, Harley Davidson V-Rod. This bike is really a show bike but not under Bruce as he likes to ride. The blower installation that he did last year sure is nicely done.

My R90/6 "Black Dog" out for its first long ride since I put it back together.

This is Rogers Harley Sportster that he won last year.

It is a nice group of guys and I really like the variety of motorcycles that we ride.

I ordered a little fairing for my bike. I put some of the pin stripping tape on it that makes it look more like it belongs. This is something like a ‘S’ type fairing and I will need to get some ‘S’ type handle bars to go along with it.

I drug out a piece of silver that I pounded on this winter and was going to cover a dent but decided I liked it centered and behind the gas cap better.

5-4-07 Bull Delivery

I dropped in over at Mark Weeding’s and he asked me if I wanted to go with him to deliver one of his half long horn bulls over to Mark Fix’s. “Sure” I said. Mark has a ‘new’ to him one ton truck that was a Swan’s delivery truck in its former life.

The boys loaded up and ready for the ride.

Mark and Mark go over the records and details on the bulls.

This barn is on Mark Fix’s place. I loved the texture and colors of the tin roof.

Mark said that the barn was taken down and moved across the river to this place.

Inside the barn. I think these logs are all cottonwood.

This is the ‘Bale Dog’. When Mark was feeding this winter he put down a large round bale on her. She was under the bale for several minutes but came back to life when he finally got the bale off her. He says that she doesn’t go into the corral when he is feeding now. I had her story in a past dog log and it was nice to see her again. She is a really nice friendly dog and loves pets. She wont hold still for a photo though.
