Betty Lou's Got Back

Here she is getting ready for her maiden transport of Fred and The Red Rider - Green Eyed Lady's ride. I tried to get out of work early yesterday so I could hit Flatwoods for a nice bike ride. Early turned into late and late turned into later. We didn't get to the park until about 7:15pm. We had time to do one lap of 7 miles. Park closes at 8:30 so it was a good thing I was done after one lap.

My legs weren't tired, I could have ridden longer. My neck though was another story. It was screaming at the end of one loop. Today, it's my shoulders that are feeling the ride. My legs don't feel like they've done anything. Hopefully I can add another 4 miles to my ride tomorrow. Betty Lou's diggin her new booty gear.

Cosmetic Surgery

Today Betty Lou and I took a little trip. I dropped her of to have a little "work" done. She has wanted this since the day she came to our home. Today, it happened. While she was undergoing her little "operation" I went to Calidesi Island for about 4 hours. This is how I spent my day....

I ran into the Dollar Store and found a cute little Beach Chair. It wasn't a dollar - it was 12 dollars...Dollar Store? I guess they never say it's the One Dollar Store...
After that I headed to Honeymoon Island to catch the ferry out to Calidesi Island. While waiting for the ferry to launch I watched a dolphin herd mullet in the little inlet. This Dolphin had to be 700- 800 pounds. It was huge. The ferry's Captain concurred.

As we were headed out on the water there was an Osprey perched on a post having lunch....

I wouldn't have minded a little ride on the Hobie Cat. Beautiful.

After a 20 minute ferry I landed at Calidesi... it's full of beautiful sites...the sandpipers were flitting all over the sand. Finding little edibles everywhere.

People were enjoying the sounds of the wildlife mixed with the sound of the water crashing on the sand and lapping at the beach

Green Eyed Lady joined me....

I hope you enjoy.....

this school of dolphins were amazing. They were actually jumping out of the water. I was too slow to catch it though. There were about 10 of them all together.

There's more....about 123 photos more.

Alas, all good things must end.
Finally, it was time to go pick up Betty Lou. When I arrived, she was checking this guy out.

That's right Carmen, Betty Lou was totally mackin' on your dream ride...She was flirting and showing off her new Booty Hardware....

I showed up in the knick of time. Next thing you know, I'd have had little mini's zipping all over the place.

Cinco de Crappy Floats

I. HATE. PARADES. I was on my way to the Mini dealership today and what the hell do you think happens? Uh huh. I get stuck - on the interstate mind you - behind 15 or so Parade floats being towed along by Pick up trucks. WTF?!?!? They looked suspiciously like this...

And like this......

and like this.....

Okay. So maybe they didn't look EXACTLY like these particular floats but they certainly were from the same freakin' family of floats.


I am on an INTERSTATE HIGHWAY!! I have places to be. Things to do. Things like getting my sport link installed on Betty Lou. Again I say...WTF?!?!?!? What are these people NOT thinking?!?!?


Want to see what my sport link looks like installed on Betty Lou?

hmm.. I'm sure there's a photo somewhere here....




let's see......








Nope. There's no photo. Thanks to stinkin' parade floats and a flipped over back hoe, The guys in service didn't have enough time to install my sport link. I have to wait an entire week for the next available day. Next Thursday, provided there are no stupid ass parades and no overturned back hoes and no freaky bizarre highway incidents. Next Thursday.

I. HATE. PARADES. Who needs 'em any way?

Are you ready?

I received a few emails yesterday asking why the poll wasn't working......hmmm. Strange. Sure enough the poll was checked as Active but was reporting Deactivated. I "fixed" the poll so that it would take votes. When I shut it down at 5:30, the vote was going back and forth between the two names by one vote. I couldn't take another tie. So, I turned off the poll and called it a day. I have been in a quandary all day long as to what I should do...
Both Blink and Greeneyed Lady are going to receive the winning Mini T's! The new name for the Mini is .......

Betty Lou. Let me rephrase that - Sexxy Betty Louise. LOL I hope you all like it.

I'll be calling her Betty Lou for short.

Watcha think? BTY LOU

Thank you to everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to suggest names and also to vote. Thank you Thank you. Thank you especially to Greeneyed Lady and Blink for their suggestions! You are both winners!!!
