I think this is my weekend to prune apple trees. And if the forecasted thunderstorms hold off, I am not going to pass up a 75° day in March - I will be cruising around the county at some point...

What did I do Saturday? Went on that group trip to Chunky River. That is a local Harley shop in Meridian.
We had a wonderful day there and saw some very nice rides. Yes, I was right.
Good food, good ride, good friends. What more could you ask of a day.

Went and said good by to a friend and fellow rider passed from cancer in under 2 months after he was diagnosed for the 3rd time. He was a young 57, and just had his first grandson one month ago. He will be missed.
Also burned the back yard to get rid of the pine straw off. It will last for so much longer then trying to rake it up and dispose of it. Also the grass will grow back better then being smothered.

Thinking about heading down to the beach for the Grunion Run tomorrow night. Haven't been there to see it in over 20 years, so we may just head down there. For those not from around here the Grunion Run is when the grunions (fish) coming up on the beach for spawning. Just pretty cool to watch because the beach completely fills with grunion. Some people make kind of a party out of it setting up camp at the beach, hanging around the campfire just waiting for the grunion to come in.
Each year, March through August hundreds of grunion will come ashore to spawn. Spawning takes place 3 or 4 nights after the full or new moon. Spawning typically starts with a single male stranding himself on the beach with the incoming waves. Successive waves bring more and more grunion until the beach is covered with spawning grunion.
