the girl got spit out right away. she was smaller. my buddy ended up grabbing a rope that was hanging down. i looked up and there he was hanging there....butt a$$ naked. current ripped his shorts of..lmao

That's a scary story but I like the ending and the analogy. Dams have always scared me for that reason. The story got my heart rate up.

Thanks for your kind words, I don have those crashes occasionally but not nearly as often as I used to.

I took a great 13 mile bike ride this morning! I love riding and we have a beautiful bike path here which will soon be completely connected(as of now it's patchy) and will provide 55 miles of paved trail. I had to do a long slow climb near the end but made it. Those can be killers.

The sons and I have been invited to a friends house for a cook-out and we'll have fun there.

Not much else planned. It's a beautiful day so we will enjoy that. Our he!!ish heat hasn't descended on us yet, but it's coming. Have to enjoy these days.

Sounds like you had a wonderful day. Glad you're having a nice night out!

[vera be fierce]

Sounds like an excellent day! It's really stinking hot here today... very thankful for a/c!

Hi Bug,
Glad you planned such a great day for yourself.
I love riding too.

We had a really great day.

Ate way too much. The couple who invited us for dinner are old friends of 30 years. They have been like family to us. She will be 80 this year and he is 89. You would never know it as they are both still sharp. She makes homemade baklava that's to die for. He is Greek, first generation, so she learned the recipe from his family. She also makes stuffed grape leaves that are amazing. She's now growing grapes so she'll have her own supply of grape leaves.

S22 was working on their irrigation system today (he's quite handy) and S19 did the grilling.

We played a new card game that our hosts taught us. We laughed and joked and teased each other about our mistakes. I love the fact that my sons have these people in their lives and enjoy the multigenerational times we spend together.

It was a fun family day.
