Everybody have a safe ride. A bit of rain here in Houston today but not much.

Art, are we still meeting in Columbus? If so has a meeting location been decided? Just let me know where and at approximately what time and I'll be there. Depending on weather I calculate my drive time to Columbus at about 2 to 2 and1/2 hours.

Ride safe. See ya'll tomorrow.

I left early to beat the rain, but now I might have to sit for a couple hours.

(Sure am glad it's you and not me!) New clutch cable should be in today. I hope I can get it replaced on Thumper for a little peace of mind. It only has 3 broken strands.. but...

so far as I know we are, sometime around noonish is what we originally talked about
I guess it's up to me where, I would say the HEB is easiest, it's right near the restaurant we discussed lunching at
guess I better get my stuff packed and on the bike

hoping for dry riding tomorrow, or at least no downpour
