Let's



review shall we?
Lil Miss "Where are you?"
First of all lol...


Whenever you ask yourself that question?
First answer?
"He's riding, it's wat he does, he's riding."
Second answer?
"He's working in the yard, he doesn't like to be disturbed when he is doing that, he says it defeats the whole purpose, he'll check in when he's done."
Third answer?
"He's taking a nap, he usually has the phone on but nowadays he turns down the volume."
Fourth answer?
"Battery is dead and he charing it and as soon as he gets it back functioning? He'll check in."
I promise you.
One of those four will cover 99.99% of any of the reasons why you're not hearing from me lol.

Now where were we?
Oh yeah, recapping.
I don't remember what we did Saturday but I do remember going to bed early as I had to get up at 8:30 to be at church by 9:30.
Which I was.
I like it there.
As long as I am here?
I'll go there.
It's exactly what I needed.
Wish I had thought about it earlier.
After church?
Puppy duty till 11:30.
Then over to moms for dinner.
Brother Ken (New Hilldale UMC Preacher) was there as well as Alan and mom, Al and myself and Nich.

Watched the race with Al.
Craziest shit ever lol.
The top three drivers all ran out of gas during the last three laps and the guy in forth won the damn race lol.
It was crazy.
Glad I watched it with Al.

Hailie text during the race.
Wanted Nich to watch the boys so her and
Christian could go bowfishing.
I told her I would, Nich was gonna be at mom and Al's weedeating anyway.
Bedtime for boys is 8 PM.
I can handle two hours.
Hailie's friend was supposed to come later to relieve me.
I really wasn't worried if she did or not.
Past eight they are sleeping anyway, so whats it matter really?
I could tell Miss Hailey appreciated it.
I don't think there is anyway in the world she expected that.
"...and they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love..."
Other baby sitter showed up at 10:30.
Cool, get packed up, grab the pup (took him back there to keep the boys busy. Worked.)
Came home.
In bed before 12 I believe.

Got up at 5:45 this AM.
Took puppy out.
He did great.
We'll get there.
Did dishes.
Cooked a mess of bacon up.
Made 3 quarts of homemade lemonade, 3 quarts of sweet tea, did dishes again.
Fiddle Farted around on the web.
Visited Christian and his clan around 11.
Thought I would hear tells of  bowfishing extraordinaire.
They only got one fish.
I told Hailie "I wouldn't have cared. I was somewhere different doing something I don't get to do everyday."
She agreed.
Then we came home.
(me and the pup).
Nichs up.
I make a Wal-Mart run.
Come home, unpack and get dressed to go ride.

Take off.
Gas up.
Tell Fawn I'm on my way out.
Went the long way.
The real long way lol.
I knew a road where to turn off.
I knew where it came out on another road I am familiar with..
Missed the turn in between lol.
Of course lol.
Why wouldn't I?
Fuck it, just go to Leitchfield and gas up.
Tell fawn be there in a few.
It's 30 miles.

Get there.
Look at Jason.
"We need to go riding."
Jason: "Let's go now."
Me:"Let's go".
From this point forward the Cars song was stuck in my head Lol




So we head out.
"Man I just put around on these old country roads."
"That's cool, you lead, let's go."
Go to the shop to get going.
Bike won't start lol.
First time he said.
"Man I aint going."
"Let's jump that thing, let's roll."
"Cool, Let's take the cables with us."
"You got you're phone?, Mine is at your house charing."
"Yeah, I got it, lets go"
And we headed out.
Just beautiful farm land, rolling hills, awesome.
Could tell he was really happy.
I was too.
Had like five turkeys take off right in front of us.
And out in the middle of nowhere was a big ass twenty foot water slide down a hillside into a pond lol.
With stairs up to it. lol.
Jason said later there was a big house on the other side of the road where the guy lives now.
He had a trailer there while the house was being built,
Slide came right to the front door of the trailer lol.
Can you imagine?
I need to go back and get a picture.
I really do.

So a few miles past the slide?
Jason's bike quits.
Just dies.
We are in BFE.
"Man you can go."
"No way, biker code, never leave a brother stranded, even if all you can do is offer moral support, someday that might be you."
"I like that code." he says :-).
I only had about a gallon and a half of gas to start with.
Tried to jump it with cables from my bike.
All we did was run down my bikes battery lol.
Now my bike won't start lol.
Had to push it and pop the clutch.
Hadn't done this shit since sixth grade lol.
No problem. 
Worked like a charm.
He's called Fawn and told her whats up.
Luckily the trailer is hooked up to the back of the pick up already.
She won't even have to turn it around anywhere.
Only bout seven miles down the road from where we are stranded.

I rode down the road a piece, a neighbor had stopped by and offered assistance.
We tried to have him jump Jason.
He did.
Four times.
All four times?
Dies.
Fuck.
My gas gauge just lit up.
Stores around here (Still a ways away mind you and I don't know my bike is gonna start after I gas up) close early.
"I gotta get gas."
"I know, go on."
"I'm gonna get gas and come right back."
"Righton, Fawn's on her way with the trailer."
"Well if I get here and yall aint here I still gotta come by your house and get my phone."
"Oh yeah, right."

I go to get gas.
Parked on the hill case I gotta pop the clutch.
Rode long enough.
Battery is charged.
Fires up just fine.
Great.
Head back.

See Fawn on a side road up ahead.
She pulls out behind me and follows me.
Big ole Dodge Truck.
I mean Heavy Duty.
Extended cab etc.
Pulling a good sized trailer.
I'm like, "That's my sis, farmer Fawn, hell yeah."
We get there.
Jason gets her loaded up.
We get back to their house.
Fawn has to go get Allissia.
She had got pizza in Fordsville while we were out actually riding.
Had two pieces for diner.
Pretty damn good.
Better than what we got around here.

I checked the phone.
Oh yeah.
Skype lol.
Lovely timing.
Dave lol.
Loosing daylight.
Road is notorious for deer and accidents.
All the damn time -).
promise.
KY 69.
Look it up :-).
Ask Dave or Fawn or Christian.
Made it home.
Right at dark.
8 PM lol.
That really wasn't the plan lol
.
Checked on Nich.
Got a shower.
Took the puppy back with us and visited Hailie.
Came home.
Hung out on my porch.
Had a few beers.
And wrote this.

You know what I was doing all that time Bambi?
Thinking bout you sweetheart.
Just like always.

"All day everyday till the end of days Dollbaby."

Promise.
