a place to be flying

"we have always been
dreamers in montana."
-brian schweitzer


while the weather here has been tumultuous at best, we had a couple warm(ish) dry days and i just couldn't stay inside. i've been dreaming of flying down some back country road on my vintage kaw kz900 restoration project! he was roaring like a lion again and itching to eat some asphalt, so who was i to deny him? he's been couped up too long in his garage. waiting for the weather to change. waiting for some repairs. both managed to manifest at once, so out we went. two glorious days of freedom! 

now, the rain has returned. my crazy work hours have encroached (we are short two staff members at the moment...that's nearly one fourth of our staff...lots of open shifts that have to be covered). not to mention that i've been promising jack a new paint job... i'll miss him while he's getting groomed and polished. but i have plenty of cloth whispering to do in the meantime...

  1. Your writing always blows me away..it's so musical!!! My son just finished English 101, his first college class, and the professor was so inspiring about getting the reader to use all their senses through their word choice, I had him read your blog to get a good example!!! Anyways, enough gushing,glad you took some time for you in the midst of all the work! Enjoy!!!!

  2. Once the staff is full again, are you considering a good vacation Jack K. kind of road trip? I imagine it of a very different kind, with stops along the way at fabric places and nights stitching by campfire!!

    1. wonderful idea, valerianna! i'm quite certain jack would love to buzz about the highways and byways and go shopping! of course, it'll mean he'll need new saddlebags, i'm sure...

  3. One of my first boyfriends bought a 900 while we were dating. The feel of the air whooshing by is so freeing, especially on the open roads of Montana. I hope you schedule will soon allow you hours upon hours of street dancing with jack.
