Nice To Be Home

Hello everyone, I just left the house. It sure was nice to spend some time with my family after spending almost three weeks on the road. On Sunday we went horse back riding. My wife likes to ride and I wanted to do something that she enjoyed. It was also the first time that my fifthteen year old son rode a horse. We had a good time and it was good to get away with my family. My wife had a real good time and my son did as well, however I don’t think my son will be trading his dirt bike for a horse anytime soon. This week I am going to try and break the eight mile per gallon mark, so wish me luck.

    I have faith that you will break the 8 mpg barrier. You ever read about Chuck Yeager and when he broke the sound barrier? I am sure when you break this barrier it will not be as dramatic but it will still be impressive.

    So glad you went riding you lucky dog!
