Steve,
I've never bailed hay, but it certainly looks like hot work. I'll use my hay fever as an excuse not to try it.

Steve,
Rebuilding the wheel is the plan, but using the same spokes, as well as the rim.
Jeff

Rich,
I'm hoping to rebuild the wheel with a new hub, using the existing rim and spokes. I've never rebuilt a wheel, so we'll see how that goes.
Jeff

Steve,
From Portage to Preston looks like a great trail route! Glad I got to see part of what you rode.
Jeff

Nancy,
It certainly is a beautiful area with great trails.
Jeff

Wes,
Proof it's a small world!
Thanks so much for all the information on roads ahead. That was quite a help to me.
Jeff

Wes,
I actually took a picture right after the McDonald's of the road ahead. The fenced-in gas or electrical station was messing up the view I had of what I thought was a well-kept farm, so I used a picture I took later on "up" the road.
Jeff

Wes,
Now that I'm home, I'm finally getting caught up on responding to journal comments. Sorry this is so late. Thanks for signing-up to send me your messages.
I'm so glad I got to meet you at the covered bridge, and even more so that you pulled over the next day. I'm just sorry I didn't get your picture.
Jeff

Kathleen,
Thanks! He's so sweet.
Jeff

Nancy,
This was the first time I'd seen goats for hire. The later day picture was where a group of them were stationed in a park.
Thanks. Our new grandson was early, and I was late getting home, but we've met each other now, so all is well.
Jeff

Steve,
I thought so!
Jeff

Bill,
Ouch (for you)!
This turtle was below the dam and I was above. No way to get too close to it.
Jeff

Bill,
It's definitely not too common for me - it's my preferred breakfast!
Jeff

Tim,
Good calculations! You would have been right-on if I hadn't skipped a day off.
Jeff

Kathleen,
At least for the moment, I have two on the ground ;-)
Jeff
