New backyard pastime

 In the form of a slackline I rigged up for Lane, he had it nailed in a half hour, now we need to go longer & higher but those things aren't cheap, may just buy the webbing, caribiners & whatever it takes to rig up our own 75 footer. Any advice?

She's a poser...

 ...just like her son! This is Cheyenne the pint-sized pointer AND, Tate's mother.  Got to see her the other day on a day trip to Curtis, she's a chip off the old block just like Tate.

The good 'ol days!

 They don't build them like this anymore. I saved these 2 old sweet rides from the scrap iron wrath this week, I don't think the blue one will live to roll again as it's got a cracked frame, instead it will live it's life out in one of Jessie's flower beds as a yard ornament, we just want to find an old basket to put on it to put a pot of flowers in.

 

This classic may get a full restoration though as it fits Jessie well & I think it will make a sweet grocery-getter for her. I'd like to find out about sandblasting it, re-painting or even powder coating it, re-chrome the chrome, maybe some wooden fenders & wicker baskets hanging off the rear rack & a Brooks leather saddle & grips, HMMMM...wonder if it will have to be pink?

Shock therapy...

 ...and it didn't work! I believe it's off to the Shockspital for this REBA.

 meanwhile it's back to being 29, single & rigid! 

A day well spent!

 

 What better way to spend a day than hammering some trails at Potter's pasture with like-minded friends, not a large group for the annual spring gathering but the trails were in great shape & just a little sprinkle towards the end of the ride. The guys who spend every weekend there have got the place in fine shape for riding & camping as well as new signage going up, a fellow from Aspen, CO was even riding there this am, what the...!

My son Lane on the left & Dennis "Deadhead" in the middle proved they're a couple of singlespeed, billy goat climbin' freaks. New guy Jesse on the right may become a "regular" after today, good to have another new face at the pasture!

Turkey time!

 

 Delley got his first turkey of the season Sunday afternoon, just a jake but will be good eating, he's now working on getting another one.

The Easter Bunny found us...

 In Lincoln!

He hid eggs in Grandma's yard so the kids found them under the watchful eye of Tate,

 then I chased him back out of town through the enchanted forest,

 and down some SWEET singletrack,

 wore me out so I had to stop & take a break on the bridge, Wilderness Park  is a BLAST, wish I got down there more to ride it, I'll be back to chase the rabbit again, meanwhile get out & ride a bike folks, it's GOOD STUFF!
