back to "normal"

Even though the back yard smells rancid. Yuck! Trees are still everywhere on the streets, people are still without power,the sky is littered with"blue tarps", however the gas lines are getting shorter and the grocery stores are getting their shelves stocked life in Baton Rouge is resuming. I feel for the people in Fla. and in Texas, I really do, but I am thanking God that Ike is not coming this way. On a happier note. Ronnie put the new shift lever on the bike Monday night and of course then the bike would only shift into first, so after the discussion of it would cost more to fix the transmission then the bike is worth I was heart broken. So a call to the local bike shop said that they hardley ever have to work on those engines/transmissions because they never break and told Ronnie to "get on it" hard and try to pop it into second. So low and behold at lunch he was working by the house and could stand it no longer, went home and had to try it a couple of time but finally it worked. I was so excited, so of course we rode for about 2 hours last night. Yee Ha. Have to work now, everyone have a Blessed day!
