Thinking about buying my sister-in-law’s tickets for David Gautreau’s performance at Cheyenne Frontier days. Not certain it’s worth the price, a 4 1/2hr round trip drive, plus the likely chance of PM thunderstorms. Hmm…my weekend could end up doing yard work.
Here are a couple photos from our trip yesterday to Block Island, RI. Robb, have you been there? I was tired this AM, we did a fair amount of walking including some in the sand to get to the lighthouse, and climbed down and up many stairs to check out the beach pictured. Nice day.
Passed several lighthouses on the way, A NOAA ship on which my former company had done some work, a guy parasailing and more. Packed a lunch and ate on the lawn here Many steps Down AND up to get to this beach From the parking lot, along the beach and in the sand to check out the lighthouse Selfie in a Model A mirror Me and my guy enjoying this thing called retirement. Note his T shirt dragon lovers. .

You guys are looking good Lainey! A long time ago my parents took me to Block Island I was about 12. I remember I took my 12 speed bike over on the ferry. I remember over by where you get on the ferry in Galilee there were piles of old mopeds as that was the thing back then tons of companies renting mopeds on the islands back in the late 70’s early 80’s being a Motorhead kid I thought that was pretty cool. I remember my bike had a speedometer on it and I seem to remember clocking the road around the island and it was 12 miles. Would like to see it again as an adult.

Thanks, Rob. You can get a ferry from more than one spot now, including, Newport, Pt. Judith, Fall River. I wondered what the population was and what the size of the island was, I googled it.
Lying about 9 miles (14 km) south of the mainland, it is about 6 miles (10 km) long and 3.5 miles (5.5 km) wide and has a land area of 10 square miles (25 square km). As of the 2010 Census, the island's population is 1,051 living on a land area of 9.734 square miles (
Looks like a fun day. Sent last night at a pub on the lake. We met another couple of fools in their MG. Its about 45 min. drive for both. The owner's daughter buys us a round as soon as we show up!
Tonight was different. We had a new dishwasher installed but the installer didn't even get to our house until 5:30 pm. So we couldn't plan anything. l won't get into the details but we had been working on the house (painting, fixing torn screens, etc.) all frig'n day and were tired and hungry. First stop - too full; second stop - kitchen closed; third stop - too long a wait; fourth stop - couldn't get service and said the hell with this; fifth stop - good service, good food, good time. Next stop - pub was closed. Came home and watched a movie - - - on a Friday night! OMG. Getting old. Oh, well, off to the races early on Sat.
