KISH GETS A TIME OUT

A WEEK AGO THIS WOMAN I'VE BEEN MARRIED TO FOR 33 YEARS PROVES TO ME THAT THERE IS NO WAY I'M EVER GOING TO FIGURE HER OUT.

SHE ASKED ME IF I WANTED US TO ACCOMPANY THE JOHNSONS' ON A THREE DAY MOTORCYCLE TRIP.  O.K.  WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH SNAKIE?

THIS IS US AT THE MCKENZIE PASS OUTSIDE OF SISTERS OREGON.  WHO KNEW THAT SHE WAS A BIKER BABE?
WE SPENT THE FIRST NIGHT AT BELLKNAP HOT SPRINGS THEN HEADED OUT TO JOHN DAY OREGON THE NEXT MORNING

THIS IS JUDY AND JOHNSONS' SOMEWHERE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NOWHERE THAT PASSES FOR NORTH CENTRAL OREGON.
WE LEFT THE JOHNSONS AT JOHN DAY.  THE WERE HEADED TO MONTANA AND CANADA FOR ANOTHER WEEK OF RIDING.

WE RODE HOME THROUGH PILOT ROCK. PENDLETON, AND SPENT THE NIGHT IN HERMESTON OR.

THE NEXT DAY TOOK US THROUGH YAKIMA, WHITE PASS, AND HOME.  961 MILES AND NOT A WORD OF COMPLAINT.  ATTA GIRL SNAKIE.

OH YEAH, KISH HAD TO SIT THIS ONE OUT AND BOY IS HE WHIZZED.  SOMETHING ABOUT PEEING ON OUR PILLOW AT NIGHT.   NOT TO WORRY HE'S JUST A STUFFED MONKEY...OR IS HE?

THIS IS KISH WITH CAT/DOG.  HE'S TIMMY'S PET.  THE CAT THINKS IT IS A DOG.  IT FETCHES, IT ROLLS OVER ON COMMAND, IT BARKS, COMES WHEN WHISTLED AT, AND IT EATS DOG FOOD.  HEY..IT'S TIMMY'S PET...GO FIGURE.

THEY ARE HOME. YIPPEE.  7561 MILES AND 30 DAYS LATER THEY MADE IT BACK.  THERE WERE MANY LESSONS LEARNED AND MANY ADVENTURES EXPERIENCED.  FOR EXAMPLE:  STAY AWAY FROM PRETTY YOUNG MISSES.  THEY WILL TRY TO ADOPT YOU. 

BUT WHAT'S A HANDSOME YOUNG MONKEY TO DO?  GOOD LOOKS COME WITH A PRICE.

EVEN PRETTY NOT SO YOUNG MISSES WILL TRY TO KIDNAP YOU.

THAT'S MY BIG SISTER.  SHE KNEW KISH WHEN HE WAS GOING THOUGH THE TWELVE STEPS AT A.A. 

NEXT LESSON: DON'T PLAY POOL WITH A GORILLA.  THEY CHEAT.  WELL THEY CHEAT BETTER THAN YOU DO ANYWAY.

DON'T SAY MINE IS BIGGER THAN YOURS UNLESS YOU CAN PROVE IT.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT A BEAR DOES IN THE WOODS DON'T VOLUNTEER TO GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH THE WHOLE PROCESS.

 LAST LESSON: MAKE NEW FRIENDS OUT OF OLD FREINDS.

THESE ARE THE HINCKLEY'S.  OUR BUDDS IN TEXAS FROM WAY BACK.

A VERY GOOD TRIP.  NOW TO REST UP FOR THE NEXT ADVENTURE........
