postheadericon Gay Aug-11-11

It was 55 degrees when I got up this morning, think the last time it was this cold was when we were in Branson back in May. I had a 9:00 am dentist appointment in Beaver Dam to have the new crown installed. I was taking the motorcycle and had to leave at 8:00 am. I dug out the heavy coat as I knew I would need it for the ride. The new crown is in and was back home by 10:30 am. I guess with the new crown that makes me king of the house. Well that didn’t last long as Cheri straighten me out on that. Cheri is really under the weather this morning with the cold I gave her. So she is taking it easy today. I called Coz to see if he wanted to go for a motorcycle ride. He said he had a few things he needed to get done and then would come over. So around 2:00 pm Coz and I took off and headed for Ray Hall’s (Coz’s brother in law) place. He is also going to ride with us. We headed south to a friend of theirs that is building a new 40’X 50’ pole building. Coz and Ray wanted to see how it was coming along. Well when we got there they were waiting for the cement truck to come so they could pour a concrete slab in front of the pole shed. We stayed around and watched them pour the concrete. Coz helped, using the float to smooth out the fresh concrete. After that was done it was time for us to head for home. Ray went a different direction than Coz and I did. Well as we traveled north the sky was getting blacker and blacker. This is not a good thing when you are riding motorcycles. Will about 25 miles from home it started to rain and the further we went the harder it came down. Coz was leading and didn’t stop so after we rode through a 5 mile downpour and stopped at a stop sign Coz asked me if I wanted to stop and I said what for we are already wet. When we got back in Fond du Lac at the stop light where we each went a different direction to get home I said thanks for the bike wash. So when I got home I was soaking and wet but the rain coat was nice and dry in the saddle bag. Coz doesn’t have a rain coat and I think if he had to get wet I should too.
