20 March 2024

 Wow! Already March 20th and time has flown by! 

Hmmmmmm things of interest in Febuary? 

Good wine supply for sure Grape and Fig wine. Grape about 11% and Fig at 14 %. 


And already thinking of what the next batch will be as most of that supply is gone on the 20th day of March. 

Then on  our afternoon drives in Febuary , so many birds in the fields and flying.  Black birds,  ducks, cranes. Wow.  

A Blackbird shot. 


And almost every afternoon , a ride about the countryside with Da Bride. Got her spoiled on it and it shows when it don't happen.  


Even got her to drive one time but she don't like it. 


When roaming I have to tell her which was to go. The memory is bad. So, 99% of the time I'm with the driving duty in either car.  

But  Love the 30+ MPG on that 2011 Nessan Rogue over the 20+ in my 2016 Chevy Traverse. 

Only really Sad thing in Febuary is losing my Veronie cousin's wife Silvia. 



Also had lost my Brother in law and friend for over 60 years. Jackie Taylor. 


Last time I passed by the Egan Grave yard, still had not updated the gravestone. And he died Febuary 1 of this year. 
    
An all the cold weather has very much limited my time outside doing things.  The old body just don't like cold no more. But, I have my station in my room to spend time and occupy myself. 
Playing with the many pictures I take, A set of dumbbells for workouts.  Gotta keep the muscles working for sure.  


And most every morning, if the Wagon is used the day's ride before, I get the bugs off that white front and windshield.  A good way to get the body moving, check the sky. Etc! 

Now at 125.6 K miles on it in and 56.6 K miles with  my 3 yrs of having it.  
And it's my trailer hauler also as I go cut my Sis in Law > Dee's yard when needed. So it Hustler gets loaded on the trailer and off we go. 


What follows is some of the pictures taken in the past month I liked. Many from our daily roams about the area. 

From March 3rd

Hello rain on Feb 28th


of course the Bride's Rogue


Love looking at cloud patterens and birds in the air. 

And one of our runs through Laccassine Pool area and ducks blocking the road. ;-) 


And from a few days ago, the rice plants starting to show. 


Well, that's about it on this 20th day of March.  And need to pay attention to this old travel blog for sure. So many memories from the past motorcycle trips.
