OH NO! CRITTERS!

Monday evening Dillinger was outside in the back yard enjoying the weather.

Suddenly he started straining against his chain to get to the gap in the deck by the basement window. I had a hard time pulling him back. He was growling, barking and snapping at the opening too narrow to get his face into it further than his nose. Something got him on the nose. He was bleeding a little bit.

Well next morning I look in the gap myself and what do I see?

KITTENS!

and not far away … Mama keeping a watchful eye.

They are very cute kittens, but until she decides to move them, I cannot put Dillinger out the back yard. He is scratching up the wood trying to get at the kittens. I hope he just wants to play, but then again he only wanted to play with the possum, and Mr. Possum is not with us anymore. So now Dillinger is back in the front yard guarding the house.

Oh well…

Kittens….Hmph!

At least she didn’t find a way to have them inside the house.

Denny’s Bike

My Neighbor and friend Denny Hanula passed away this year.

He and I would occasionally go out for a ride, He on his 100 year anniversary Dyna and me on my Sporty. He would follow me around as he just wanted to ride, and didn’t like taking the lead on a ride. LOL

Well after his passing Sandy (His wife) was torn about what to do with his Harley.
 

It is one beautiful bike

Sandy could not bare the thought of a stranger taking the bike.

 

Sandy finally decided to give the bike as a gift to her ex Son-In-Law Craig Ringler.

He was well loved by Denny and when They went out to visit them He and Denny had taken a long ride through the mountains. 

Well he is a good man who has had some struggles that were no fault of his own, And Sandy knew he would love and care for the bike. Sandy said he deserved to be given something.  So She told him to come and pick up his birthday present. She presented him with the title so he could have it home by his Birthday.

   

He showed up on his delivery run to pick up the bike. It just seemed to be meant to be. as the truck he was driving had Denny written on the side.

 

He said the first ride he is going to take will be the same ride he and Denny last took. I wish I could join him, but that is out of my range at this time.

I had never sat on Denny’s bike. So before it left Sandy said I had to get on and take a picture.

  

I am grateful to have known Denny, and am glad that this bike went to someone who Sandy and Denny knew and loved.
