Closing out February in Concord, NC

After a much better than usual Friday night at work (amazingly, done early for a change) and a good nights sleep, drove the long lonesome highway to Concord, NC to see my family and friends. Enjoyed a very good drive, and had a great Saturday with Patty, Robby and the border collies. Before getting home, made a quick stop downtown, where I took this photo at left of the old Cabarrus County Courthouse (now an art museum). It is an interesting town. For Saturday, mostly hung out with the family, watched the Olympics (they were great this year) and relaxed with the people (and pets) I care about the most.
It was a very fine Saturday.
On Sunday, Patty had a quilt guild meeting, so after the morning paper, a dog walk, and a bit of tv, went out near Concord Mills to Pat Rogers Harley-Davidson. Took this photo there of my friend Keith (who used to ride with me, though sold his bike last year) standing next to this very fine Harley (a "bit" of chrome on that one!). We went to Iron Thunder, a biker themed bar/restaurant near the HD dealership, and had a great visit. For the night, enjoying the closing Olympic ceremonies, and will get some rest tonight; for tomorrow is the long drive back to Richmond, VA and another day of work. Enjoyed a very fine visit home in Concord this weekend!
