So... after a crappy day of "stuff" Ironhorse Ike and his son-in-law show up at my house late afternoon. They want to ride up the the top of the Catalina Mountains and back...about an 80 mile round trip to around 11,000 foot elevation. Nice and cool for around here. I'm busy and ticked off at some idiot at a Sprint store 2250 miles away..( long story) and too "busy" to go. The wife decides I need to go and basically kicks my butt out the door with them. Fast forward... we are at the top of the mountain getting a drink when a car drives up behind our bikes. The driver and Ike start to talk and the next thing I hear the driver ask is.. One of you guys KIC ? I'm thinking " dang.. that America's Most Wanted " thing works... Of course Ike immediate points to me in his fastest "Not me It's him" manner. Turns out it was DarkLeftArm and his obviously better half. It was nice to meet another Venture rider ( even if he does ride a 2nd Gen ) I'm sure we will be getting together for more rides soon.

I guess what is remaining of Ike blew through NE Ohio last night. We had winds exceeding 50 MPH and lots of trees down in the area. Our power went off around 7:00 PM and is still off now. I drove into town to get a WIFI connection and check my email. Hopefully things will be on again soon. No real damage at our house...well...except that Eileen's gazebo is pretty much trashed.

Next storm up is Hana evidently she's coming to the east coast. She's gonna hit anywhere from FL to NC. Guess we'll wait and see where she goes, and how big she gets. Behind her comes Ike and Josephine. Getting busy for the next few weeks. Don't ya just love hurricane season? Nope me either. Margaret
