Good thinkin' Bubba....
Saturday was Judy's birthday so I took her to Village Inn for breakfast after we'd said good-bye to Jackal and The Cheese Queen when they left for the races in Nebraska. The weather didn't look great around here so we decided to drive to Cabela's in Owatonna to find a birthday present for Judy rather than going for a bicycle ride. (Her idea, not mine. I bought some fly tying hooks and some dubbing.... That's it!) She found some shirts that she liked and some fudge and I picked out this year's birthday Teddy Bear for her then we headed a couple of miles north to the Medford outlet mall. She found a couple pairs of pants and a couple books that she liked so we bought them and headed back south. Stopped in Kensett, Iowa to visit the cemetary where many of my relatives are buried then headed back to Waterloo. All in all, a good trip!
Sunday found us trying to find out how The Twins had done in Nebraska. I finally left a message for Jackal on his cell and he called me back while I was walking through Hartman North. They podiumed again! Woohoo! Kerkove in 1st and Jackal in 3rd! The only two Cannondales at the race (like last time!) and both on the podium! You'll have to check their blogs for recaps. Congratulations to both of them!
Later Sunday afternoon we grilled out in the driveway and had Jackal and Moo, Ren and Heather, and Adam and Krystal over for burgers and dogs and the fixin's. No burned chubs this week!
Left to ride at about 11 this morning into a headwind and heat! Went to Hudson then west to the roadside park where I turned around and came back to Waterloo by way of the Ranchero Road trail. Rode the trail through the intersections of death and then over to Pfeiffer and out through Gateway to Big Woods Lake and back. About 40 miles in the heat! Getting ready to head out to the cemetary for awhile and to run some errands. That's it for now.
Peace out, yo!

Oh, so you were in Hudson again and didn't stop by. That's it, our friendship is over.
And I thought you said last time the chubs were not burnt???
Your killing me smalls!
oh yeah, the chubs. well eduardo, in my mind the chubs were fine last week. i ate 3 of them and all the dog ate was the rest of them. jackal said something about them sounding like a mouthful of tater chips when i ate them. what does he know? they were good!
