Jennie, Kate and Ann went and got two more chickens last night. We were down to just one lonely rooster, Rudy. Now the red head stud has two little white hens to chase around.
Jennie was actually worried about Rudy more than the hens. The hens are used to being around 80 other chickens. So the girls bossed him around almost immediately. The poor guy was actually stuck outside his coop last night. We shall see if the girls will let him back in. I'm sure if he gets hungry enough he'll bully his way back in. He is twice their size for cryin' out loud! I'm pretty sure that they are not letting him in due to the way that he kept the coop. The girls are probably very mad at his organization and cleanliness. That'll teach him.
Cheers,

Trip to Amarillo, TX
Back in April we went to Arkansas for a wedding. This time around we travelled west. I just need to be invited to Wichita and Dallas and the compass shall be complete!
Arra Johnson is now married! Congrats Arra! Beautiful wedding, great reception!
All the best!
Kai and Kate danced it up at the reception. Kai got to dance with some of the prettiest girls while we were in Arkansas. But the poor boy kept getting shot down by the one girl he wanted to dance with this trip. She was just slightly older and refused to dance with little boys. :( I'm sure he'll survive. He snuck a good 3-4 cupcakes from the buffet line.
We took the camper out to Amarillo for our stay. We stayed at the Fort Amarillo RV Park. Everything worked out really great. Kai got to go fishing with his Spiderman fishing pole. Everyone got to go swimming. Kai can swim all by himself with just the smallest assistance from some arm floaties. Yeah. I know. I feel old. Jennie got to spend Saturday doing wedding hair. I got to take the kids Saturday to Palo Duro Canyon. The ole Yukon pulled the camper just great (a whopping 9 MPG)! This time next year the Yukon will be paid off! Woot Woot! More camping money!
I'm definitely going to have to go back to Palo Duro. But probably around September/October weather season. I was about a 100 degrees in the canyon and dry as ever. There are hiking trails, biking and interesting camp sites. I think a long weekend trip would be awesome. I didn't take any bikes with us this trip because we knew it was going to be a busy trip. Jennie, the kids and I only really had Friday to explore and have fun together. And there was plenty to do while at the RV Park or in town.

Missing Camera
Alright. The camera has been missing for about a month now. So I'm pretty sure the kids didn't just hide it. Sorry there won't be a lot of pictures. Everyone will just have to do what they hate, read.

Planumrotundumphobia
Figure out what the title means? I can't lay fame to figuring it out either. I read it in Rider Magazine, a motorcycle magazine. Not to be confused with Easy Rider which has pictures of ladies with low self esteem or large ... postures.
Planumrotundumphobia is a fear of a flat tire. I think I have it. I hate having to jog my bike back to the office from 3 miles away. (Done it) Having to jog the bike back to the truck from the middle of the mountain bike course. (Done it) I hate having buddies leave me behind when no one has a spare and jogging a couple miles before they make it back to the truck and come back to pick me up. (Yeah. That one too)
I carry two tubes and a pump with me every time I ride. My wife picked up my backpack and blurted out, "Geez! You ride with this thing?" I think she was talking about the weight and not its fashionability.
What do I carry?
- 2 tubes
- small pump
- flat tire repair tool
- multi tool
- 9/16" wrench - for my pedals in case they get loose
- screwdriver w/ multiple ends - multi tool just isn't enough for me
- extra chain link - I broke a chain on a bike less than a year old
All of that doesn't even include: Wallet, cell phone, keys, and camelback. But dangit! I can make it back under my own power! If not, that is what the cell phone is there for.
