Donna, Molly and Charlie Visit

I'm still working an outage, 1R25, when the cell phone alerts and my buddy Charlie is on the other end. Charlie is the longest living friend. I have on planet Earth.  We met when we were just 13 years old, riding Schwinn varsity bicycles, mostly on wheelies, strapping metal skate wheels onto a board, making it a middle wheel skateboard so we could throw sparks while slamming sideways in the dark.

Avila Beach, California. Beautiful day on the central coast.

Riding the 1979 Kawasaki KZ 1300, A1.

And this is Molly, she is a golden doodle.

Who happens to like snacks?

Charlie, just as I remember him, telling stories and having fun.

We used to be tres amigos, but now we are Dos amigos. Rest in peace, Robert Lee Carver, a.k.a. bogus Bob.

It takes oil a while for Molly to cotton up, but when she does, you're good to go.

I recall during high school, the Dorsey family had a golden retriever. If I recall correctly, her name was Sharon?

Charlie met Donna at a garage sale, Charlie mentioned he had lost his wife. Don mentioned she had lost her husband.
Charlie being all sophisticated and what not asked the big question, "do you fish"?

Apparently, Donna knew enough about it, or she had her own boat?

I wonder why I have so many pictures of the same thing. Oh, that's right I got a good deal on a 35 mm film.

It was very wonderful to see Charlie again and to meet Donna and Molly.
We have to do it again.
