Maybe Next year

I had big plans for this summer. Big,big plans. I was going to ride my 25 year old Harley around Lake Superior. I did make it to Two Harbors and beyond a few times. I was also going to ride to Minneapolis a couple of times to see my old pals. Never made it any further south than Hinckley.

Last fall my wife and I bought a cute little barbecue grill and used it a couple of times.  This summer, we were going to take it to Brighton Beach and other picnic spots in the area for relaxing afternoons. We never used it once! And now the weekends available to do such things are dwindling fast and I'm starting to panic.

In my defense, June and July were were very rainy and wet. August has been hotter than a gila monster's kitchen. And there were some weekends we just wanted to relax. After living in Florida and California for 20-plus years, I still have to readjust to the relatively small window of warm weather months and activities. When it comes to enjoying summer in the Northland, time is of the essence! Next summer will see no procrastination on my part! Until then, I'm going to cram in as much stuff as I can in the next few weeks.
