My ride report doing a 1000 in 24 /And life on the farm.

Thanks Lady D!

edit: Ah! I just checked out the IBA website. It was very interesting. I'm starting to think about it. Could be a little hard on a 450, the bike as well as my butt.

Thanks T, not my idea...guess I'm stuck with it.

You can do it on a 450 ...
I know a few folks the have done a ss1000 on 250 !!!

Riding steady is the main thing... Keep your stops smart.... ...And by all means enjoy the ride.....

Plus if you have never done 800 miles in the saddle .. Your fitness level might not be there yet... Just keep on riding ... Built your fitness up...

There is nothing like you~ your bike~the wind....

I forgot about Martin


:dg

:eek1 How could you have forgotten about Marty :eek1

Poor HB he almost didn't get any... We never heard the dinner bell...

As I said before, this is my thread so ..
When I'm NOT riding and enjoying this earth...
I farm and keep my mate and myself in good heath...
This week was bread baking ... We have stopped buying store bread for a few years now...

Here is a step by step on bread making.... Enjoy the pix....
All the breads I make/bake are WholeWheat Multi grain and Seeded breads..
Quinoa,Flax are whole seeds.. Plus many different types of grains...

Bread making step by step

You used a break makin dude icon. That's pretty slick.

Did you noticed that the heel was cut off...
One must taste the goods ...Before you store it..
After all might have to feed it to the birds...(long story oser)




Yes this little fella is from dgrin....

This is what I made for our Super Bowl meal....

I made 2 pizza last night.. Don attacked one then..



The Pizza has Sauteed Onions,Portabella,peppers,carrots,my home made Pickled peppers,Spinach And fresh mozzarella cheese,my home made canned Sauce on a Whole Wheat flax seed dough..

Oh the other pizza will get more cheese on it when I reheat it...
I don't like to put a lot of cheese on it when I freeze them..
LOL I thought that one was use later on.. Silly me.. I just cut into the other one ...And I only had 3 slices total for the day ......Don loves HM pizza there is only a total of 6 slices left!! ya'll better hurry there isn't much left ...:eek1



The fruit salad has: TX.Red Grapefruit,Blood Oranges,Blueberries,Blackberries,oranges,Pineapple s,
Pomegranates,Red Dragon grapes,Papaya,Bananas,Starfruit...



The Brownies well, they are the healthiest ones you could ever eat...
They are made with blackbeans!! And OMG they are wonderful ..
Really good...Yes even Don likes them .. And that says alot....
If anyone would like the recipe just let me know...
I'm telling ya they are really good.....



Here another view...

The image of a trike surprised me. I visited the IB website to see if three wheelers qualify for ride certification. Apparently, they do.

Well my cattle was on walkabout for a week...
A bit long for them ... I did walk last Sunday to check on them...
And they where in 1 piece at the time...

But I had a feeling why they were taking so long to get back home!!

Well the cattle came home ... I saw them on the hill side this morning..
This is why they took so long to come back home....
They had to wait till the new born could toddle for 5 miles up and down the mountains!! Gosh I love my Longhorns!!!



This is momma and the baby




It's a heifer!!! She is white with a few liver spots...



We have 1 cow that has to calve yet...
Life on the farm !!!

WOOT!

She is a Longhorn / Charolais cross... :eek1

Yes it was nice to have a healthy baby after the stillborn last month...
The family is really happy too.. They all look after her...
Can you imagine how hard it must have been for them to push that baby up and down the mountains,traveling with a toddler..

It's amazing how devastated they all where about the stillborn...

Awwww what a beautiful little baby.


Life on a farm is tough... having to walk 5 miles when you are just days old.

Amazing, Tracy... I was never aware that was possible until you and Don's operation. Congrats, it's awesome

Sure is a cute little thing.

Once again we have just increased the herd...The last baby was born today.
And let me tell you it was a good day to be born.. 61* and sunny!!

Last night at feeding time I was looking at Lefty and said to HB .. I say with in 24 hours ... Well this morning late.. Lefty had her baby!!

No help from us .. I love Longhorns/Corrientes... They have small babies ...
The way mother nature had intended them to do...

Lefty is a Corriente...So this baby is Corriente/Charolais cross..:eek1
Yes our cattle are in good order.. (good weight)

She loves her baby!!



Yes it looks all bent up still.. Well it's only an hour old...And still has to unfold..
That takes a few days...



You can see in an hours time of being forced through the birth canal.They are up..



And know where and how food is served!!



She will be the size of her mom one day!!! She's a cool colour ..
A nice Mocha...Yuppers she's a good mom..



. The herd, this evening all sniffed her and licked her ...
It's really cool to watch them as a family unit...

I even watched Tuco our Longhorn/Holstein (the Black cow) Clean the white calf the other day...I thought that's cool... After all she is also her Oldest sister.. For real.... See Tuco is/was Cisco's 2nd Calf that was born here on the farm.

Yuppers they are one big happy family

And I did get my bike out today... Felt good to ride and such a grand day!!

Awesome!

Thanks B...

The poor thing is getting cold rain pouring on her today..
At least she can drink some warm milk..
And that will warm her right back up

It's a blessing when they are good moms

Yesterday it was cold, cloudy, and icy here. You sure were lucky to get 61 and sunny. Raining here now too... and chilly... I love wood stoves

We're gonna come see you guys if you'll have us
