Last Sunday I was all ready to do a 100 kilometers (62 miles) at the annual "Bike Psychos" ride when it started to rain...so I opted for the 50 mile ride instead!
The remnents of Hurricane Isaac brought us 2.2 inches of rain this weekend. All together we've received over 6 inches of rain since mid-August.
Here is Tom's "new" 2588 Case IH combine (2007).
It took a few cuss words to figure out the high tech monitor and gadgets.
He entered in the names of his different farms.
Tom said this picture contains his favorite option.
Dan is riding my folding bike for work. It folds into a small bundle and fits in the trunk! Tom and Dan say it makes me look like I belong in the circus. I drive to the outskirts of Normal and ride the rest of the way on bike trails. It is a blast!
Working hard...
Hardly working...
After nearly 3 months since Tom's motorcycle accident he is back to normal! And guess what, when he rides his motorcycle he wears a helmet!!

Public Service Announcement: When I turned 50 last year my doctor encouraged me to get a colonoscopy. I politely ignored her request. Two months later a friend (who also ignored her doctor's advice) was diagnosed with colon cancer, had to undergo treatment for much of last year and, luckily, is doing well today. At my annual physical this year I heeded her advice and got the colonoscopy. The test revealed 2 polyps, one of which had the potential to become cancerous over time. People complain about the preparation process...just look at it as a way to lose a few quick pounds! The heavy sedation was very relaxing. So if your doctor has been after you to take this test, do it!
