Concrete Business

Things have been a little crazy around here. Not saying that crazy isn't relatively normal for me....
Riding has been back-burnered for sorting files for school.. yah, it's over... but, I feel like I'm drowning in the need to GET RID OF THINGS.

So, we decided on an impromptu touring ride over the weekend which started with this insane sight! Yikes, I was nauseated just watching this guy paint... we could even hear the lines TWANG once in a while. eek.


BOB loaded with a few essentials for an overnight stay in Mackinac City.

Just after mentioning I'd like to see some wildlife, this guy shows up! Lucky!

Just so you know, these are the BEST arm COOLERS ever. No need to worry about sun damage & the sleeves actually cool the skin as you ride. Unreal... still don't get it, but certinaly LOVE them.

Our little joke.. yah, had to hit the 'bear' store for swimgear... which wasn't a good idea. Enough about that.

Ready to feast at the DIXIE... where carving in tables appears to be encouraged! Nice.

Mark made.... still feeling very destructive.

Some Lake Huron beach relaxing after a fine meal...

Morning prep for the ride back... continental style. It was the best thing this sprawling hotel with water park had going for it. True.

Hai! It's another turtle. I am a turtle LOVER from way back.

So, I rode the parking lot for .5 miles and maybe spun my front week for a couple of tenths get to see the 130.

All in all.. a refreshing weekend. I needed the brain break, long miles, and time with my boy. Too bad for me he chose HER in the end.

Happy Father's day to his poppa who I am certain will greatly appreciate this priceless beauty!

That big tower thing looks like something out of Men in Black! -:)
I thought that big bear was a Beaver until i read on a bit (blushes)

The tower is a water tower... is your scenery interrupted by such things?? Sometimes they are lovely with logos & interesting color schemes...sometimes they just look overwhelming. I WISH that bear could be a beaver... how perfect that would be. "The Beaver Store" rather than "The Bear Store". Niceee.

No water towers here, we have resovoirs which pump through ststions underground into the watermains network.
Nice idea with those beaver socks!, beavers are being introduced into areas of scotland,
I doubt they will re-introduce Boar,Wolf and Bear though!

I still feel like a rule breaker for the carving!
