I do enjoy spending time with my Brother and my S I L. Been gone bout 2 months and 4000 miles. But I are back under my own roof. Made it to Hannibal Mo. last night and took a motel-same one we used in 14 for the fall color ride. Got up this A M to water drippin from the sky!   tickedoff Geared up and left for home in da rain. Yesterday I got a sunburn on my suntan and today I needed the pendelton under my rain gear!  Lips Sealed  My new rain gear is lime green and look like it's battery powered.  2funny Replaced a bad cover set in the fuel petcock and now I'm getting 33-34 M P G pullin a trailer. Getting 38 39 M P G just the bike. South of Rolla Mo. SOMEWHERE a pickup made a right turn and I ease over to thee left a bit and a crew cab dually wit a 20 foot twin axle trailer and a small excavator pulled out In front of me  Undecided Headlights on high beam fog lights on air horn activated and he just kept pullin out!  uglystupid2 Down shift one or two grab a double handful quick S weave NO- I did NOT kaka my Dr. Denton's-managed a one finger salute and continued on my way. Guesin he didn't see me!  Embarrassed So how was yer day?  Evil RIDE SAFE.

Dennis, glad to see your back home in one piece in spite of a dumb ass.

It was great to see all three of you before Inzane after I finally managed to realize where you were at.

Not much going on here ,too hot to even drive with the top down.

Uh-yeah-STILL pondering that incident in what I pass off as a mind.  Roll Eyes BUT I did take Black Dog's advice and had 2 icy cold adult beverages with my pizza.  cooldude The very fact I'm still here after some of the "STUFF" I've managed in my life leads me too believe there IS a Higher Being-read GOD here-that IS actually watching out for me.  angel Let's face FACTS-at 71 years of age my reflexes ain't no where near what they used ta was. BUT I'm NOT ready to give up 2 wheels-yet!  coolsmiley Good LORD willin the creek she no rise I'll see a LOT of my friends at I-17 after I've ridden there!  Wink Sides-caint lay down and quit-don't want the b-sturds to win!  2funny RIDE SAFE.

The Big Guy in the Sky just isn't finished with you, Dennis. It was a pleasure to meet both you and your brother at InZane, and hope to see you both out west next summer... Sorry about your near miss, but glad it was a miss. Take care of yourself...  Kiss
