Wet ride…

I rode the Goldwing into work this morning. I hit heavy rains at the mountains and all across the Ione, Michigan Bar Road. This was after spending a couple hours Sunday washing and cleaning. Ain’t that a bitch! Lol!!

On my way home I stopped by Buena Vista Market also known to us as BV’s. This is the same joint that has the monster size burritos. Since this was a dinner pickup I opted for bacon cheese burgers. There’s a lot to be said about the ground beef around here. It just taste better. I buy meat at the Ione butcher shop and all their meat is local and grass fed. Like I said, it just taste better.

Buena Vista Market. This would normally be a very busy time of year for this establishment that caters to the nearby lake and camping community.

You can see from this photograph that the rain clouds are gone. This mornings dump may have been the last. Summer time is here.

Outside the Manetarium for post ride check and clean up.

Outside the manetarium…

I went for a nice drive yesterday and this is the weather in front of the Manetarium. It was dumping hard! I think the forecast is a few more days like this and then it will be sunny for the Memorial Day weekend coming up.

Country cruising…

Wifey and I went out for a ride this morning. I’ve been wanting to check out this small country market located on Buena Vista Road Ione California. It’s a small establishment that has a saloon next door that would normally be packed with folks enjoying the surround lakes. I think most of the folks would be coming from Pardee Lake or Lake Amador which is just down the road.

The burritos were good and we ended up eating next to Brute 66′ since the indoor dining area was closed off due to the Corona Virus regulations.

Pandemic 2020

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated the stats. This is a global stat as of today.

The current governor of California had a press conference today in regards to the plan opening up the state. As expected it will be a slow process with some businesses opening up sooner than others. This also means some businesses will be pissed of more than others.

One note the lakes that are surrounding our area will be opening up only to the local residence.

As for us, I’ve been back working my normal schedule and location the last couple of weeks. No more telecommuting. It was nice while it lasted.

The school districts are still closed and teaching via online methods. This means wifey is not teaching at her classroom. It is still uncertain when the state will open the schools again.

Last super moon 2020…

Tonight was the last super moon for the year 2020. It was a big mutha’ too. With all the darkness up on the hills the moons brightness is amplified.

Taken from the front of our home near the “She Shed”.

I planned on staying up later taking a better shot but that didn’t happen. I did take a few from the west side balcony but I like this one better.

Beater’s Radiator…

Well, Beater has been leaking coolant for awhile now. So far I’ve identified the sides of the radiator and the water pump weep hole along with the area near the clutch fans mount.

Replaced the radiator this afternoon. The damn transmission lower cooler line was a bitch to get back on.

Working at the side of the shop

Easter Sunday 2020…

This goes down as the strangest Easter Sunday I’ve ever experienced. This was the first time without our kids and extended family.

It was just Lorraine and I, for awhile we were able to enjoy each other’s company and not focus on the Pandemic. That was nice.
