(some of) my favorite girls

We had Sunday dinner at Mom VW's house as usual and
many of the usual suspects were in attendance

and this is what it looks like now...

My hobby !

So one of the things I get pretty hepped up about is old motorcycles, and a while
back I ran across an old AMF Shovelhead Lowrider. I had been looking for
something to restore for years and never found something quite ratty enough
(and yet solid enough) that I wanted to tackle it. Anyways, I was surfing Ebay,
and low and behold I found just what I was searching for, a 1978 FXS
Harley-Davidson Lowrider! Here is a picture of what it looked like when we picked it
up. Not SO bad you might say.

a snapshot of myself and my handsomer bro....

a pretty good likeness of dumb and dumber no????

"little brother Arn and I are just trying to see who can be the most
"debonair"....

harvest time in NW Iowa

Jessy and one of her friends came home for a day to help with the soybean harvest. Jessy drove the grain cart, and her buddy rode along and took it all in. It is
always a big boost to get extra help in the field and makes things go way faster with an extra pair of hands! Her friend, Danah is from urban southern CA, so all of the machinery etc was pretty new to her.

We had a little rain nite before last, but hope to get back at it today, and hopefully try
to finish up TOMORROW!!! It is always a big relief to get done with the beans and get
started with the corn.

bye for now!
