2009 April 16th: I had a rest day and hung out at my good friend Les’ place. We worked a little bit doing some clean up in his yard. A very energetic guy named Alex showed up and helped with some of the yard work. A little later another friend of Les’ named Bob showed up with a chainsaw and cut out part of a stump that was in the yard. We weren’t really working to hard just taking it easy and getting some things done at the same time. We fired up Les’ grill and cooked up some burgers and brats. That really hit the spot.
A little later an old friend of Les’, Linda came by to join in the fun. It was interesting how a little impromptu party got started. Two more friends of Les’ that I met last time I was here also came by; that was April and Mark.
Finally, our friend French showed up and joined in. French is an awesome motorcycle mechanic, so I was picking his brain on some of the finer things about traveling with a small displacement motorcycle. He had several very good suggestions for me. French was the first one to leave as he had some prior business to take care of. We will get together again on Sunday and do a little work on the bike.
People started to leave and the place got a little quieter. It was getting late and so we called it a day.
