Yesterday
I didn’t do much yesterday as I was a bit itchier than normal from my corn allergy. Eating makes me itch a lot and it’s worse if there is any type of corn in what I eat or drink.
So I just hung out with the chickens in the yard and did a lot of napping.
Today
Today started out a lot like yesterday and because all the itching cut into my sleep a lot, I mostly stayed in bed today.
Doing something
But eventually, I got restless and decided to ride my dirt bike up into the park to see if I could catch one of the guys in the shop, just before quitting time.
The guy I wanted to chat with wasn’t around, but I was able to talk with another guy instead so took care of that.
I parked my motor bike here. I’ve been going into this park since I was a little kid and we played a lot in it. That was a time before the park got so popular. We had it mostly to ourselves in those days and they closed it down during the winter to most people. Now, it’s one of the most popular state parks around. Most everyone working there, knows me, so I can pretty much do as I please. :O)
Bike ride
After that I was going for a bike ride up on our place and decided to go on up this road to one of our neighbors where I could cross over to our property.
I went by this old place. I used to know the old lady that ran the place when I was a kid.
Margaret was a world famous potter. She held potting classes during the summer to make her living. She was known for having some pretty wild parties up there with her students as most of her students where hippyish types.
I continued riding on up the road to the top where my neighbors lived.
I found them home so shot the bull with them for a bit. Then I supervised as they repaired a flat tire from their trailer.
Eventually, it was their dinner time, so I left and continued on towards our property, just ahead a bit.
When I got close to our place, I changed my mind and rode on down the old dirt road I’ve been working on to see how my crossings were doing. 
The water crossings were looking pretty good. I think I need to come back with Skiddy and cut just a bit more out of them to be sure water won’t cross over them and go down the road.
I continued on down the road and eventually rode on into the park and on through it.
Kiosk
The volunteers have been working on the kiosk, building a new one as the old one got smashed by some drunk drivers running their truck though it, taking off the top. Fortunately, they did this during the night so no one got injured, but the truck did get damaged enough, which they abandoned in the park.
Nice day.
