This is what the bike looked like when Louie got it.
Now, I know with all that excitement, Jen and Cindy probably didn't want to go back to quilting, but I managed to drag them back to the basement and made them get back into the 'program'. =-D
We loaded Cindy's quilt, and she was off and running. All went well for quite awhile, but then we started having some problems. We tried a lot of different solutions, and in the end, the machine got a nice cleaning and oiling, (and a few other things I can't say!) then we did a 'prayer' over the quilt for better results, and even that didn't help. God can fix a lot of things but He must not be too good at electrical connections, because I finally figured out that the connections on one end of the cable that runs the cruise control had some wires that were coming out and causing it to run erratically. I changed the cable, and all worked slick after that. (How did I know this? I had problems before and Louie fixed it temporarily, and then I ordered a new cable for when I needed it, and we 'needed it!')

OMG!! It looks like you gals had such a great time! And here I was, lazy again, all day today! I haven't even put my stuff that I took on my vacation away! :(
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you ladies had a good time and I can't wait until I can get away to meet everyone! As it looks, I don't have a free weekend until sometime in November. I think that the second weekend in November is the first weekend from right now where I have absolutely nothing going on. Should we plan on this??? I can't wait to see the shops and have pie at Baker's Square! And of course, to meet everyone! :)

ReplyDeleteI can't wait until it is my turn to go on a trip with Jen and Cindy to visit you. I can tell from the pictures that you had such a great time!
Did Louie do the painting of the motorcycle as well as the repair? He is such a handy guy! I can't wait to show my husband the pictures of the motorcycle!
I can't wait until Jill comes to Wisconsin! Ohh I won't be here in town when you come in October...I will be at Lutherdale at a Quilting Retreat! I am soooo looking forward to it. I haven't gone on a quilting retreat for about 3 or 4 years. Sorry to miss you but I will see you next time you are here!!!!!

Wow! It sounds like you guys had the best time. Sure wish I could have been there. I'm sure it was a day of laughter! The quilts look wonderful! I would so love to have a quilt frame! That's my dream...maybe in a few years after we are married.
ReplyDeleteHello Michelle! Looks like you guys had a blast!! I'm glad you all had such a great time.
