Firstly, it’s worth noting that The Mother-in-Law has a new dog. Molly is a blue heeler mix of some sort. She’s really sweet, though a bit crazy and fairly untrained. We’re hopeful, though, since Australian Cattle Dogs are in the top ten for dog breed intelligence.

[Yes, all I’m talking about these days is my motorcycle. I’m sure it’ll pass eventually…]

Took Betty, the Bonnie Black (which is in dire need of a bath, hence the title), for a quick ride this afternoon. On this ride, we passed the 300 mark, which means we’re finally past the official engine break-in period. W00t!
