Today we went to the Art of the Motorcycle show in Lynden.  Tom is a member of the Washington Vintage Motorcyclists and helped organize the show and swap meet.  

Here are the three bikes he showed.

Tom’s bikes: 1976 Honda XL 70, 1979 Honda CT 70 and 1969 Honda Z 50

Tom’s bikes

As I have posted before, I have a lifelong involvement with motorcycles.  So always love checking them out.  The mid-1970’s Honda CB motorcycles hold a special place in my heart as I had and loved a CB 350-4 and still have and love my 550-4.

William enjoyed talking with his grampa about motorcycles during the swap meet.

Ryeleigh joined me while my dad talk with his neighbor who was selling there too.

It was a great show with significant proceeds going to three pet shelters including the Skagit Humane Society.

Back on the farm, Jameson is growing.  He is still trying to get milk from his grandmother who is looking after him well.

The sheep are in the tall grassy pasture.

The fields really need to get mowed.

Finally, I finished two books.  Sheepish is a book that my dad bought for me for Christmas in 2011.  I finally read it and loved it.  Unfortunately she is no longer living on a farm, but it was nice to read about her adventures.  I can totally identify.

I also finished Silver Snarling Trumpet, a book written by Robert Hunter in his youth.  It is a fascinating description of his time with Jerry Garcia and others in the Bay Area in 1961.  It show the origins of their lifelong songwriting partnership.
