Thursday is almost gone. I had my dentist appointment today in Denver City, Texas. I took the opportunity to ride over with Doug and the trip turned out to be quite nice. It has been a while since I was out doing any riding over the roads and just doing nothing more than enjoying the time. The time for our trip to Lake Ivie is getting closer each day and I am really looking forward to it.

I stopped to see Rufus today and ended up giving him a bit of help with a project which involves putting a roof on his pontoon boat. I managed to help place a few braces up and hold them while he attached them to the frame. The whole event probably took no more than an hour and a half I would guess but sure seemed much longer. He has some aluminum skin that he is going to rivet to the top of the boat frame and it will be a great improvement, especially on days when it is so hot. There will be some plexi glass for the side that can be removed easily for fishing and then put back up against the wind or rain.

Wednesday draws near and I am ready to make the trip to Lake Ivie. Quite a lot of "stuff" lies on the spare bed waiting to be packed for the trip, electronics, guitar and lots of camera equipment and some computer projects I need to work on also. I have more to gather, then some final sorting or perhaps grading to eliminate the excess. For now I must get ready for bed and try to rest up for the trip.
