Last vestige of summer

This weekend was probably (not hopefully) the last warm weekend we will see in Montana, so I just had to get out and enjoy it. Saturday I went out for a bike ride that ended being quiet an epic adventure. I didn't realize that the divide between the Little Big Horn and the Big Horn Rivers was quiet that steep or long. I started out like normal riding down to the Big Horn where I talked to a couple of families that were getting ready to put their raft in the river for a family float trip (looked like fun...although the kids were being kind of snotty), I then decided that I wasn't ready to go back to town so I continued up the Big Horn Valley to the "Crow Cut Across" (a paved road connecting SR 313 to Crow Agency) and I rode across to Crow Agency and then back to town on the frontage road. The cut across is a lot longer than I thought and quiet a bit steeper than I had anticipated, but it was fun. The frontage road was BORING to ride on, but at least no one tried to run me over (it happens sometimes on the "old" highway to Billings)! I then went to the 4 Aces to watch the second half of the VT game...Danielle and I don't even have to ask them to put the game on anymore they just ask which channel that Tech is playing on when we come in! Yesterday was supposed to be my second 4-H shotgun class, but no one showed so I just went back home and cut the grass and piddled around the house before taking Maggie for a walk around town last night...Maggie likes to explore town and rile up every dog and cat here!!! Anyhow, this is going to be a short week as I am going to Lincoln, Nebraska this week to watch Tech play the 'Huskers. That ought to be fun; I haven't been to Nebraska for several years and I am kind of looking forward to it. I wish that I was driving, but flying was so cheap that I couldn't pass it up.
