2,000 mile lunch ride to Hotglues...

[Smokinjoe-VRCCDS#0005]

I'd like to first thank Hotglue for the invite to come have some Texas bbq. We plan to make it just outside Hattiesburg, Mississippi tonight to Punisher and Sweet Tea's place. I always enjoy my ride " Southbound "  to Allan and Lisa's home the southern hospitality is always overwhelming . It's pouring rain right now  and " THE " Detn8er ain't even ridin' with us ( whats up with that    ) . Looks like we'll ride out of it as we go south nothing like pulling a beautiful detailed bike out of the garage into pourin' rain    I'm meeting VRCC members Highbinder ,Lady Draco and Tomdog along with my local ridin' buddy Paul ( Wimp ) in Knoxville,Tennessee  @ 9:30 this morning.  I'm pretty sure my health is up to makin' this ride the doctor told me last wednesday that my lung is up and running    I'm lookin' forward to riding the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Texas that's the reason for headin' out a day early.

24 days , 2hours , 6 minutes and 17 seconds since my last  cigarette    Its very hard after 30 some years of smokin' but I'm going to win this battle . The 8 days I was on the " Lung Ward " at the hospital showed me I DO NOT want to die a slow and very painful death that smoking can bring you. We saw a man in his mid 50's at the hospital draggin' a tank with hoses on it hooked to his nose it was all he could do to get outside to smoke. We ask the nurse about him because he would cry out to God to " Please take me now " all day and night she said he was a dead man walking with lung cancer that was taking his body over   I hope and pray I don't leave this earth that way
