Carolina Weekend/Next Up Louisville

Great weekend visit in Concord, NC with my family. Drove out Saturday morning on a beautiful day. Took a breakfast stop at Ft. Lee, nice town from the quick look I had of it. Smooth ride down the road though was tired from an extra long night at work (almost 11 hours). Got to Concord around 11am. Did make a short stop before getting home at RideNow; a big motorcycle dealer in Concord (its where I purchased my bike in 2005, though under different ownership). Saw a riding buddy there, and they were having Victory Motorcycle demo rides. If I was not so worn out, might have taken one.
Great weekend with Patty, my son Robby and the dogs. Dogs were really happy to see me, played frisbee with them a lot; they love that. 70s and sunny all day. Not a real active day though; watched "Marley and Me" Saturday night.
Sunday nice. The typical morning routine; Charlotte Observer, a dog walk, breakfast, and the Sunday morning motorcycle ride. Was a great ride, was warming (got up to 77 during the day) and nice to be out in the country for a while. Patty and I went out during the day to Memorial Gardens, to the grocery, and also did some yard work. Nice to have a yard to work in, don't do yard work at the apartment.
Got back to Richmond Sunday night around 1am. Again another nice drive in the night, with no problems. Interesting drive coming up, four day trip to Louisville this weekend. Dad, my brother, my son, his wife and the grandkids are all there. Also good to be back in Louisville; grew up there. Like Richmond a river city (the Ohio instead of the James), mix of old and new buildings; quite a few interesting things to see and do. Patty coming here Thursday night (will see her after work) and we are leaving for The Ville Friday morning. One thing about this Richmond transfer; getting in a lot of highway miles.
