Just What The Dr. Ordered

My cousin and I on the 4-Wheelers.

My cousin and I took his 4-wheelers out today for a little trail riding fun.

There’s a great abandoned railroad strip of land that starts right at his house and stretches for miles. All the tracks are gone and it’s just trails now. The weather conditions were a little rough, so we only did about 2 1/2 hour’s total riding.

The night before, they had just had an ice storm and it was melting off the trees, getting us wet, and making us cold. Although the ice did look beautiful on everything along the trail.

Since I haven’t ridden one of these in years and years, I found the ride challenging and fun. There were some pretty hairy sections. But I was still able to remember from my youth, when in doubt, shift down and give it gas!

I had a great time and can’t wait to go back and do it again. Next time with Brian. Snow would have been cool and dryer.

Bowlning Nights

Bowling Ball

Here’s a picture of one of my balls.

Tonight was my bowling league night. So far this year, my team is in 7th place and I am winning in the most improved bowler category. My current average is 136 for the season, but climbing sharply. I’m hoping to get close to 175, where I was rolling at in high-school.

Bowling night at Lombard Lanes.
