Man, I was a week off on when the gig was over in Austin. I thought it was last weekend (which was my grandson's birthday) but it is this weekend. Thank goodness that Sister QOTFU sent me the route they were taking Sunday by email. I was thinking, "Why would she send me this today - the ride was two days ago?" Then I realized that my little pea brain had gotten confused on the dates - and my pea brain gets easily confused.
So, I walked in and gave Red the old, eyes downcast and feet shuffling..."Babe, would you mind if I rode over to Texas and went to a Mid Winter Gathering and Wild Game Feast? I want go if you need me here." "GO!" she says, so go I must....

Got my room and heading out Friday to groove with some extended family over in Tejas! Yippe-Ki-Yay!
You know we were walking the critters the other day and walked past a guy who lives up the road with a bike and Red asked me, "Why don't you ride with him? I wish you had folks you liked riding with around..." I told her, "Well, I just don't like that guy and I do have people I like riding with - just most of them don't live anywhere around here - I have to ride to other states to be with them!"

So, if ya want to dig on some good people, good riding and awesome wild game feast, throw your leg over a saddle and come on over....
