Way to go!

The space shuttle made a successful launch this morning. Its about time.

We had a good weekend at the event. We made a wrong turn and it took longer to get there than it should have, but otherwise, the Jeep handled the load well even with the air on. Katya started "are we there yet" on the ride up.. ugh! I knew it would come sooner or later.
 
I got an intercom system for the bike so me & Rain can communicate better while riding. It also has inputs for cell phone, mp3 player, and FRS or cb radio and a push to talk button that I can mount on the handlebars. That way I can communicate with other riders and/or a car I'm traveling with. I tried the FM radio it has - it definitely works at highway speed.

Its been a pretty tame week. Tonight we pack for our camping trip and I'll start loading the trailer. I don't think it will be too bad since it is always the same stuff getting packed for the most part. I have it down to a science.

We had a fun day yesterday. We went on a ride for the Deborah Heart & Lung Center. It rained as soon as we started the ride, and it rained hard. Rain got pretty soaked but I had my rain gear on so it wasn't too bad, and the sun came out by the time we got to our destination. I'd say there were maybe 100 bikes there, nowhere the number that I would have expected. I'm not surprised, as most bike riders won't ride in the rain (though I don't know why).

It looks like we need to look for another baby sitter since my parents are going to things the same time as we want to go on bike cruises (sometimes the same place) and they can't take Katya in the ford. Our regular sitter isn't available all the time so another would be a good thing. It looks like Sunday we're doing a charity ride for Deborah Heart & Lung Center which should be fun. Katya is doing well, she got lots of stuff for her birthday and we had wonderful weather for a pool party. Maybe next year we'll do ice cream cake or something.

Here's the new saddle bags & back rest.

Let's see.. Katya's birthday party is Saturday - her birthday is Sunday. We're doing a "princess party" which should be  interesting.
 
I'm expecting saddle bags and backrest to be delivered for the bike today. Hopefully the backrest will help Rain on the long rides.
