Riding tomorrow, then off to friends' for a BBQ
Back in the office Friday - I'll likely ride to work, and then leave early.
Saturday - more riding, then head out to buy my wife a belated anniversary gift (store has limited hours, so we couldn't do it on our anniversary)
Sunday - more riding - the bike isn't going to do 60 miles by itself come September.

Coming events naturally include the 4th, then my oldest grandson's BD which is the day after, and then doing last minute preparations for another 1,000 mile trip in the '59 MGA. We're off to a national meet in Dubuque, Iowa on the Mississippi. Get to spend two nights with David Hobbs, who I've met before. He drove sports cars (I saw him win the 1962 GT 1.3L class at LeMans in a Colin Chapman team Lotus Elite with Frank Gardner). He also raced in NASCAR, F1 and was a NBC race commentator. Plans include a trip to LeClaire; home of the American Pickers. Maybe I can get a picture with the tattooed lady.
We've got a few people coming over today for burgers and dogs. Tomorrow afternoon we are going on a 1 hour harbor cruise in my hometown. The tour has been going on for a few years, and now that I'm retired, it was on my list of things to do. It gets good reviews and the people that I know that have taken the cruise really enjoyed it. There is music on the waterfront on Friday evenings, maybe we will check it out if it's not too crowded. We can also walk over to the ale house for dinner.
Saturday is Ally's graduation party (mentioned previously I believe).
It's a tad warm today. I went for my AM walk (the Y is closed) 74 degrees sounds OK for walking but that 78% humidity did not make for an enjoyable walk. I'm done exercising for today!

^ Have a happy 4th and your weekend sounds like fun. We are still testing things on the MGA before the trip. My windshield wipers work . . . thank goodness. We got are asses soaked in last night’s drive. It was raining so hard I could not see 3’ in front of me and even missed one of the roads to take coming home. Its always an adventure!!
