Saturday Ramble

I got out for a nice little ramble around the county this morning. I checked up on one of my geocaches and found it a little damp inside. I'll have to get a better container out there sometime soon. I stopped on the way to make coffee and oatmeal, only to discover that I forgot to bring the HEET to fuel my stove. So today, I boiled water over a fire instead. Worked great, just sooted up the pot a little bit.

FIRE...

BOILING WATER...

Mmmmm... Coffee and oatmeal...

The snap-deck makes a nice table...

Joe is a happy boy....

Perfect Saturday

Today was the perfect Spring Saturday. A nice ride along the Cedar River to Spring Park. Lots of stops along the way to skip rocks and play. Warm sunshine and 64 degrees... Perfection. 

Ride Loaded

Ride Loaded... words I live by :)

Maybe a little too cold for barefooting... 

Spring is coming....

I saw two fuzzy caterpillers today... one on the trail, sunning itself on rock and another crossing the road.  That's gotta be a sign of Spring, right??? 

The Big Dummy relaxing by the Cedar River on it's new center stand and serving as a cooking platform for oatmeal... Yummy. 

Joe is a happy boy!!!

The Dummy is now rocking a complete set of stainless steel Klean Kanteens. 

Stopped in the woods to photgraph a fuzzy caterpiller.

Some new bike parts...

I got a box full of bike parts in the mail today. Finally bought a set of WideLoader racks for the Big Dummy and a nice KickBack center stand to replace my 6 year old wobbly kickstand. I got some new brakes and a chain for the Dummy too. The center stand is going to great for when I have the bike loaded up. 

My Titec H-bars came in teh other day and I like them so far. I'll have to get them out on a long ride to be sure if I'll keep them on the bike.  Later.......
