first ride

I took my first motorcycle ride of the new season today. Brian’s been after me to go for a ride with him for a month now, but the weather hasn’t been warm enough (in my opinion) so I passed until now. Today was pretty nice, but it was quite chilly on the bike. I’m glad I went because we’re planning an overnight trip sometime in the next month or two and I’m going to make sure it’s good and warm out before we decide on a date. I thought temps in the 60s were going to be warm enough, but I think 70s would be more suitable.

Jake stayed at my parent’s last night, so today was supposed to be a work day. We got some stuff done, but never as much as I’d like. The ride didn’t take too much time out of our day–we just ran to Conzatti’s to grab some lunch and Parmesan cheese (which is needed for tonight’s supper). I found out the hard way that if you’re going to buy Italian food, don’t bother going anywhere else–you’ll pay too much.

Shortly, we’re going to start cooking supper. We’re trying out a new manicotti recipe tonight. My current recipe just doesn’t thrill me like it used to so I guess it’s time to try something new. The recipe I linked to is the first of three that I’m going to try. I’ll be sure to post the results of the manicotti cookoff at some point in the future.
