Had a very enjoyable weekend. Mmom came up on Friday and left on Saturday morning. We had our morning coffee first then we went out and put flowers on Dad's grave. I then finished and put flowers on Gary's family graves. Couldn't at Lodge Grass as the gates to the cemetary were locked. Will go and pick up the flowers tomorrow morning. Mmom didn't put up the wreath this year, it is getting too fragile and the weather was pretty iffy. Turned out we had decent weather. You can bet that if we put the wreath up we would have had alot of wind.
Sunday we rode to Sheridan with another couple. They ride a Harley trike too. They live in Billings, so we met them at McDonald's and had a cup of coffee before heading out to Sheridan. They had a cool ride from Billings to Hardin so it was a good time for them to warm up. We took the Decker route to Sheridan. Not much traffic out on Sunday afternoon. We turned onto Highway 212 and I noticed a huge orange warning sign that read "Motorcycle Advisory". Gary went by too fast for me to catch the rest of it. The road construction is at Lame Deer, so didn't affect us one bit. As we got close to Busby, I told Gary where the turn was to head to Decker. He informed me that he knew perfectly where the turn was. I was just reminding him because it has been at least 10 years since he has been this way.
Tongue River Reservoir is very full. It has been a long time since I've seen that much water in the reservoir. The campground looked very full for the weekend and there were quite a few boats on the water with fishermen. We made our way into Sheridan and then stopped for gas. Our friend didn't fill up in Hardin, said he has plenty to get to Sheridan. Once we got to the gas station he had one gallon left in his reserve tank. We then made our way to the Chinese Buffet restaurant. Thought we weren't going to get in when we saw three tour buses in the parking lot. They were busy but we managed to get a table right away. It was very good food.
We took the interstate on the way home. Good thing, it was raining in the Decker area. We got into rain just six miles out of Hardin and only for a short time. About three miles of rain. Just the tail end of the storm so nothing major. Got into Hardin and stopped again at McDonald's for a coke. Three of our Harley friends were inside eating lunch. They had ridden from Billings and took the Sarpy road, they did run into the rain storm. Had a great visit said our goodbyes to our friends and headed home. It was a very enjoyable afternoon.
Monday I had the house to myself. I got the carpet shampood at our martial arts school then the rest of the day was for me. I did absolutely nothing productive at all. Watched Meg Ryan movies on the Lifetime channel.
