Good Morning all. Hope everyone's weekend was good.

I took friday off to get some homework done, get packed for the weekend, and get outta the cities early. well, 2 of the 3 got done.

Spent the weekend cruisin' the cornfields. What a good ride. Saturday was awesome, mostly trail. Went on a long trestle bridge. Was pretty sweet. Only hit 39.7mph on the best down hill though. my personal top speed record is 45.8.
Sunday was tougher. Heat really got to a lot of riders, my self included. bike computer said 115 degrees sitting in the sun. Pulled a quad with 11 miles to go, and had to get a ride in. Pretty sore still today.

tough has nothing to do with it. I'm a little bit of a speed demon.

my POS bmw is the first car I haven't topped out. Not sure if I want to push it that fast. stuff is likely to break.

Well made it back from the car show with no problems with the car. Dads car had a little trouble but less than a mile from being home. The water pump pulley broke the center out and came off taking the belts with it. The was great and close to 12k cars again this year. I have some pics but will have to get them loaded up tonight.

Backyard looks good Jim!
Good morning Troy. Nice not to have any car issues. You had a great weekend for a car show.

Good morning Dustin! That must have been hard work pulling a quad for 11 miles! Was it a Polaris or ? No wonder your sore!

I don't think he pulled the quad for 11 miles but tried to pull it with 11 miles to go. Must have been something like a modified triathalon or a Tough Man competition.

It's not hard to pull a quad... Just got to make sure the driver goes the same pace as you

No Jay, it is just in case I get too busy and do not get back on here. Work is very hectic as we are running some new products and it is not going very smoothly.
