Today was rest and repair day. Everyone washed clothes, cleaned up their bikes and a number of people put on new tires. Dan said he was wearing clean underwear. I'm not sure what he was trying to tell me.
I had dinner with Michel, Dan, Jan and LaVerne and Jani. The conversation came around to what day was everyone's favorite day so far. No consensus. I brought up the day in New Mexico when we got to the Escarpment. That was voted down - too long and too windy. There was general agreement that Sedona was high on the list. Missouri, was at the bottom. Everyone agreed that Dalhart, Texas was the worst overnight. The motel was a dump and the food was really bad. Champaign is a paradise compared to Dalhart.
Tomorrow we're off to Crawfordsville. Looks like the weather is going to be good.
We change to Eastern time.
Sam, "Tally-ho" or whatever you bikers say as you launch a new day after a rest break. Hope you stayed dry today and didn't have any problems with flying carp, rain, railroad tracks, cannibals, poison food, angry flagmen, punctures, sore butt, wrong turns, sand storms, and hamsters.
ReplyDeleteIndiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there I wish I had you, to talk to.
Yes, that is THE R.Dean Taylor song that made the 1970 Hit Parade. Any wonder you are so screwed up -- listening to that kind of stuff before your frontal cortex was fully formed?
I hope you keep that one in your head as you avoid those RV's as the winds blow you across that entire state --- and, more cornfields for you, pal!
Really, hang in there and let the road rash heal a little bit before you decide to "hit" the road again. Good luck ......
That is the funniest comment yet!!
