For the 4th, I decided to fly my Betsy Ross Flag.
Later, the neighborhood exploded with fireworks, and we watched from our patio.
See you on the highway.

July 4th Celebration
Visit to Mustang Journey
It has been awhile, bur arranged to visit Mustang Journey to see my friend Troy and see the current herd. Hot and humid, the horses were pretty lethargic, as was I. Currently, Mustang Journey has seven mustangs and one domestic horse used for their riding program.
This is Roxie. Her mustang brand identifies her from Nevada. She’s a Nevada girl.
Mustang Journey adopts mustangs, gentles them, prepares them for adoption out to owners who are ready to own a mustang and ready to ride. They do this all with the help of volunteers and Veterans who are interested in equine therapy. The draw of the mustangs has been intrumental in the programs growth. They are not just horses, they are mustangs!
Previously, I had some work with Charlotte. I was a part time volunteer a couple of years ago, and I was cleaning out her stall. She gave me a touch and then she pressed her muzzle against my cheek! I was in heaven. She was probablyi just getting a scratch against my beard. LOL!
It was great to visit Mustang Journey. I’ll be back.
See you on the highway.

Taking the long way home
I have been meeting my buddy, Jim, for coffee on Wednesday morning since 2008. Eighteen years. Meet for coffee then head home. We used to meet on the motorcycles and then ride out for breakfast, but we have not done that in years. Our thirdsome passed away last year, and Jim stopped riding a year or so ago. I alone still ride.
When the weather permits, I will still ride to coffee. Every now and then, I decide to take the long way home, and today was one of those days.
The weather has been incredibleyhot and humid lately. The afternoons are miserable, even on a motorcycle where you’re making your own breeze. Mornings have been better, and even pleasant.
So, after coffee, I took the long way home. It was perfect.
See you on the highway.
