We were invited to a send off BBQ at our friends house in Molt. Gary and I have never been to Molt, thank goodness for google maps. We got the directions to the house. The BBQ started at 5:00 pm.
We left early so that I could get my haircut. That was one of things I was going to do for my dental therapy but didn't get done.
We found the place with only one glitch. We missed the turn off to their house. We did find all the little roads but who would think to put up balloons or streamers for people to know which house is yours. We weren't the only ones who missed it. We were so glad to find people we know. Had to turn around and head back. There were no markings to say where you were. In fact I barely saw the sign for the road they were on. All it was was a small white square sign.
The BBQ was a send off for their son who left for boot camp yesterday. He will be stationed in Georgia. They had a good turn out for it. About an even number of oldies and young ones. Must have been about 20 of us in all. It was a very nice evening. We got home around 9:00 pm.
Sunday we decided to take a ride just because. No particular reason. The hardest part was figuring out where to go. We finally decided to go to Forsyth because we haven't been in that direction yet on the Harley and it really wasn't too far. Gary is still not quite up to par battling his infection.
We had a nice ride, weather was great and the temperature was very comfortable. We ate lunch in Forsyth at the Dairy Queen. That was a busy little place for a Sunday afternoon. Many people stopping in for an ice cream. After lunch we headed back for home.
We did stop at a rest area for a small break and visited with a couple from St. Paul. They are bikers and they were taking a five week trip. They are pulling a 5th wheel trailer with a garage and had their bikes in the back. They did give us a short tour of their trailer and how things fit in the garage. Not a bad set up, but he did say that it is a bit heavy. They were making their way back to St. Paul, but taking a very scenic route.
We do have alot of washing to do on the bike. It is covered with bugs, every inch of it. Don't think there is a space that doesn't have a bug. Good thing Gary was wearing a helmet. He got hit by a grasshopper. Those things are loud, I heard it when it hit. They also hurt when you get hit with one.
Tonight Jennifer and I are taking Gary out for dinner at the Mexican place in town. He is whining how we are going to abandon him for 11 days and this is the least we can do.
