Didn't see any of those, but there were a bunch of uninhabited wasp nests....cleared them out...then a few showed up....sprayed the area...then 30 minutes later Mary got stung by one.Originally Posted by Jack Klarich
She got some apple cider vinegar on it right away...not too bad.

Friday night, when I was headed home, this is what the sky looked like all the way home....
...I did not take that pic...but it was lighting up the entire sky and trees continuously on the way home.
I got a bit wet...But no lightning strikes near me.
This morning, there was a prediction of strong lightning storms...so Mary carried me to work this morning in her truck.Have I mentioned....I don't like lightning!

Good call Kevin. I remember a report from back in the 80's of a biker riding across the wide-open spaces of New Mexico when he was struck by lightning - it struck him right in the belt buckle. Don't know if it was the lightning strike that actually killed him or the wreck.
Me neither while working for the Commonwealth along the Highway vehicles were struck with lightening close by and the tires exploded. Really spooky ya kno... FredFriday night, when I was headed home, this is what the sky looked like all the way home....

Snow, wind, rain, hail, sandstorms, bugs, cagers, I'll ride with all that....but will always do what I can to not ride with lightning.

We had 5 days of temps in the 70's...was back down to 51 and misty/foggy when I rode in this morning.

Colors are starting to change here in MS. Many of our tree leaves just turn brown...but we do get some nice yellows and oranges.
Took this pic on the way into the shop this morning.

I've been out of pocket for most of the last 7 days....my folks were here, then my brother and his wife also arrived.
Been visiting, riding, visiting, riding....

Last Sunday, my folks, brother & SIL were visiting. They wanted to go to church.
My dad (79) wanted to ride in with me on the TG.
He was wearing slacks, and being in the high 40's, we gave him a few layers up top, some gloves, and rode 35 miles over to the "Full Throttle Biker Church".
He thought it was hilarious that we put an electric jacket on him...showing him how to control the temp in this pic-
He enjoyed the ride...quite plush compared to what they're used to. When they're in Aisa, both he and my mom, ride motos to get around...that is the primary transpo in many of the areas they do they're work.
Here's a pic of the two of them. They'll both be 80 within the next 6 months...still healthy and very active.

Thanks for sharing these photos and stories Kevin. I thoroughly enjoy getting to see the “human” side of our members - along with the “machine” side, of course.
Great pics and story
Kevin, I see where you get your good looks from

Thanks for posting Kevin. You mom and dad look great and so nice to see them active and involved. Now you dad with his bald head looks a bit like me. I'd like to grow a beard like him but the 'boss' says NO WAY. Had one in the 80s and she hated it. At least I've got the mustache which she has no problem with.
Ride into the shop this morning....almost kept going...but too much to do today.

My brother, Greg, who was recently out for a visit, went on an extended ride in Peru is 2010.
It was not on Harley's, and it was not on what we would normally call "good roads". lol
He went with some friends from when we spent time living in Yarina Cocha, Peru when we were kids.
Here are a few pics from his "Around The Block" ride.
Map of the route (heavy black, red & blue lines)-
They rode thru the Andes....
....and the jungle.
Yep, that is a can he is getting a fill-up from...many places had no "gas stations".
I'll post some more pics from his ride soon.
Kevin
Bet that was a challenging area to ride.
Do not argue with an idiot.He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Yes, he said it was the most fun he's ever had, but also the most physically demanding.
I wanted to go along with him, but was still recuperating from my accident. Maybe next time?
You're right about that!
