Weather has been downgraded to "partly cloudy" on one system and "isolated thunderstorms" on another.

Hey, is that news to us that it is gonna spontaneously rain occasionally up there in the mountains?

This afternoon after work I will pack the saddle bags .... then I work 4 days straight in a row then I get up and RIDE !!!!

I am driving across NC alone.

Lancer is coming up from SC alone.

We got two additional coming from NC for the party Saturday that weren't planned for all along.

Beyond that, it's jest us chickens ...

Wednesday evening we'll have drink a few and plan what sort of trouble we are gonna specialize in this time ....  can't go Tennessee side so we'll have to go to the NC side for our amusements.

My long distance riding buddy is coming up with me. His name is Charles. He rides a Harley so Oldfellar you be easy on him LOL   He is not a wanna be, he's the real deal. We have done several 600mi days together, three 400mi days so far this year. He's in his mid 60's, the old man can ride.

Southpaw hit the nail on the head.

we are picking up one of my brothers in north ga on the way to the dragon.   he rides a V-65 but lives in the north ga area so he should be able to keep up , I'm going to make him work at it at least once.

We should be there late thursday afternoon or  early evening , doint want to miss a tent spot.

Kel I saw where you called but it was after 10 pm so I didn't call back yet. I've been repairing tractor hydrolics and getting the last of the hay up so I'll be "FREE"  next week.  should finnish up tomorrow, YeeeeHaaaa.

REX was out for a road test yesterday.  All is well and is road worthy but a lot of tweaking is needed of course.  No leaks so far ... well except for the gas that went on the ground when I started to put gas in the tank before hooking up the fuel lines to the carb.  
I will be out for little more riding this morning and shake it down.

Anyone hitting the road today? I'm heading out first thing tomorrow morning, camping for one night in Virginia, then arriving at deals gap sometime after lunch on wednsday for an afternoon round of golf with Kel. I have Toymakers phone number so if anything comes up, I'll get in touch with him.

AL

Man I cant wait.....

oil changed
New Spark plug,  going to advust valves while I got the tank off
go through and put a wrench on all bolts
Wash and Wax in the am
ten is airing out
air is good,  tread is good
bereaks are good
BEER on ice
Need to know around a bout how much in the kitty for groceries?

AM heading out on wed 7:00 ish

Tomorrow ...  tomorrow ....

..... is only a snooze away



Let's see,  Gap Hotel is gonna cost like what $25-30 a night (depending on which nights you are talking about, some nights are full up, some are missing one-two beds full)

I'm buying Kentucky Fried Crow for everyone at Toymaker's on Tuesday night (assuming Rex shows up rolling on his own two wheels driven by his own engine)  so between the hotel and the crow meat that's $100.

I don't think you could eat more than $20-30 worth of groceries a day split between us  ....  (we actually bought way too much food last time, it all got left at Toymaker's when we got back and likely got thrown away after we were all gone).

Beer cost -- that's the big variable $$$


(Toymaker, you did remember to call and verify our reservation, right?)
