Niko’s Ride

02.07.2008

It’s that time again… time to mount up and head south!

We are off to Port St. Lucie, by way of Tybee Island, St. Augustine, and Daytona Beach. We leave Friday July 4th, and return Sunday, July 13th.

We love this ride - did it last year, but did not take the coast down… took the turnpike there and the coast home. We enjoyed that so much that we decided to go down that way and come back the turnpike.

Check out our ride plan, and watch for our updates as we travel!

I saw this video some time ago, and it cracked me up. While Casey uses tactics other than the bat, this is JUST how she is with Denny in the mornings. Enjoy!

10 Georgia Bulldogs!

03.04.2008

MunsieMunsie, our English bulldog, had been walking around looking like she ate a watermelon, barely able to move more than a few feet, and not able to get up the steps anymore… so we knew it was close. Janie thought that the pups would come about April 7th, but we thought it would be earlier due to the way she looked and was acting, so we took her over to Janie’s on Monday in anticipation of her going into labor sooner.

We were right! Denny got a call from Janie at about 7:15 this morning saying that she had been up since 2am with Munsie, and that she was now heading to the Vet with her. She was in labor.

She bore a total of ten beautiful white pups - two boys and eight girls. All the girls are pure white, and both boys have a dark patch on their eye and ear. Here are a few pics of the newest additions to our zoo:

Ten little babies!

Rideless days

29.03.2008

I hate it when this happens… you get out the Hog, start her up, and she sounds like she has the flu! That means no riding for us!

When we rode two weekends ago, the bike sounded horrible, and we found that the primary cover and rocker cover were leaking. So, we had to take the bike in to Mountain Creek Harley today (Denny riding in the pouring rain to Dalton to get there) for a massive tune up.

Since we were taking it in for that, Denny decided he also wanted to have the radio checked because it has been very ’scratchy sounding’ and have the fuel gauge repaired, as it has been quirky and does not show us how much gas we have.

Luckily, we have the Harley-Davidson Extended Service Plan Fender-to-Fender protection for a while longer, so it won’t break the bank to get things done.

I can’t wait to get her back good as new - it is Spring! Time to ride!
