Happy Valentine’s Day. It is always a special day for us as we were engaged on Valentine’s Day 44 years ago. It was 37 degrees again this morning. At 7:30 am we were going to take the van down to the Rec Hall for the monthly breakfast. We ended up walking as the windshield of the van was all iced up. But the weather quickly warmed up to 69 degrees for the high of the day. After breakfast we stopped back at Grandma’s to see how she was and she did sound better but said she had a lot of back and leg pain. Cheri took her for her follow up doctor’s appointment at 10:00 am. I went for a motorcycle ride with John, Bud, Jack and Edie. We rode over near Orlando so Jack could register for the Richie Brothers action. It is a five day auction where they sell all large work equipment, dump trucks, semi tractors, and all kinds of cranes. I would guess there were between 25 and 30 acres of equipment. Then we rode over to Camping World so Bud could look for a camper van, no luck. Then it was time to find a McDonald’s for lunch. Then a quick stop at the Harley dealer and then it was time to head for home. We got home at 4:30 pm and it was an enjoyable 120 mile ride. We were late getting started as we were going to leave at 10:00 am and John was 20 minutes late, then when Jack went to start his bike the battery was dead. He had left the switch on and run the battery down. We put the charger on for a while and then finally I went and got my jumper cables to get it started. So we didn’t get on the road until 11:00 am. This evening Paul, Bev, Cheri and I headed down to Lakeland to the Longhorn Steak House for our Valentine’s meal. We decided it was time for a good steak. We had to wait an hour before we could be seated. But it was worth the wait as it was a great meal. It was 9:30 pm before we got home.
