Mine was interesting. Had a doctors appointment at an office that was about 50 miles away....when you live in a rural area seems damn near everything is at least 30 miles away. Anyhow, decided I was going to take the chopper. Put it outside the gate when the wife left for her Embroidery class this morning....Was her birthday today...Just about to the stop sign where I turn from one state highway to another. Gearing down for the stop sign bike stalled...gas was pouting out the vent on the karbanator....frigging float stuck again. Turned around to head home, hoping there was enough fuel to get me there. Not exactly a great feeling, watching gas pour all over a hot exhaust pipe. Light bulb went off...turn the petcock off til the karbanator runs dry, then turn it back on. After a few cycles the needle unstuck..Turned back around. GPS said I was not going to get there til 9:35, check in time was 9:30. Knowing there is never a radar cop until the 35 zone at the end of the road I turned it up....85-90 in a 55....slowed down entering the series of corners.....accelerating pretty hard, going thru the gears.....nailed a bird with the right foot....sputtered out of gas coasting into a gas station in Reardan.....gas was .30 higher than what I paid for it just yesterday....doc gave me good news.....stopped to visit the wife at her class....ended up buying some embroidery design software for her birthday.....$350.....cruise down some farm roads to come home, just enjoying the high 80 day....get in the house, only to be greeted by one of our dogs.....Queenie, our 12 year old Australian Cattle Dog would not get up off the floor. She finally did..hobbled outside on 3 legs and laid down hard.....had to carry her in the house. Called Ernie, she was having lunch with her sewing buddy....whose birthday was yesterday....Ernie hauled *** coming home, came in, called the vet scooped up Queenie and told me to lock up and get out to the gate. Carry Queenie into the vet, put her on the floor and she is walking....gingerly but she is walking....end up in a room with her.....and she starts to :fart:...bad enough that me & Ernie left the room.....take her and draw blood...liver enzymes are elevated....doc thinks she probably just twisted her leg....coming home Queenie :fart:'s again....damn near wanted to puke....now we are getting verbally assaulted by our 11 week old Redbone puppy....she missed her ,lunch and is pi&&ed off....
Not surprised Queenie hurt herself....in typical Cattle Dog fashion she does everything at 150%....
