give my reguards to janet, sorry to hear she's sick. stay home and take care of janet,if you want. i have said before family got to take care of family first. we can always make another run later, when she's feeling better.

the flying j truck stop is at (exit 789 / thompson road) a ways past the betway 8 and i-10 intersection. it took me just over an hour to arrive in beaumont,tx. then just over an hour to lake charles,la. then just over another hour to arrive in lafayetta,la. but we will need to stop and gas up some were between exits 43 or 64 on the louisianna side of i-10. this will put us about 150 miles from the flying j truck stop. it's about 3 &1/2 hours to lafayetta. then about another 30 minutes to avery island. so around 4 hours one way.

Hope she gets over it quick, she's been down too long to have to endure a stomach virus as well.

ok folks the rain is out of here the texas area. but the weather channel shows a 40% chance of rain from lafayetta to new orleans. unless someone local to this area tells me other wise, i'll be rolling to avery island in the morning.

Hey Don,

 

Got love life, always interesting.:rotfl:

 

We catch a break in the kids are not going to be available. So we were really looking forward to going on the run to Avery Island.:hihi:

 

Middle of last week, I start having problems. I finally break down and go to the doc and it is kidney stones. All he gives me is pain pills which I can't take and work. I still have not passed them yet and now have an appointment for a CT scan on Monday. Most of the time it is a constant dull ache, but of course for a little tabasco flavoring:stirthepot:, there are the times of excrutiating pain.:225: So we are not going to make it this weekend.

 

We are going to try to make the Central Ms run to the casino. Maybe we can catch up then.

hi folks

well the rain has stoped in texas, but is still forcasting 40% in lafayetta, la & 50% for new ibera, la. so as not to have anyone having a possiblity of riding in the rain. i will have to CALL THIS RIDE OFF. sorry as not giving any better advance notice

(just checked the weather channel at 5:45 am) but you can't always trust mother nature. or for that fact the weather people.

if anyone wants to try for a rain out date of october 3ed just let me know.
