Grrrrrr!!

I'm having a mild case of the screammin meamies today. Thanks to everything that is going on, partly the family business that had us away from home for over two weeks and still having to deal with it to the point the hubby is flying back up there next week. Add work going crazy prepping for inventory which was yesterday [always fun!], I haven't even been able to get the pics I need of the Wee Beastie for my ad on VRO.

 

To help drive me nuts, I have been planning for weeks to attend the ROT [Republic of Texas] Rally in Austin, the largest bike rally in the state, thanks to a change in jobs at work that gave me Fri. & Sat. nites off. ROT is this weekend. Eddie Money is playing tonite, tomorrow will be the Doobie Brothers, and I CAN'T GO! Thanks to that family business trip as well as the one I'm making the last week of this month partly to help out the Mum and partly to pick up my new wheels, I'm having to pinch the pennies. But I thought I could just swing the $45 ticket price for the ROT. Well the greedy so and sos raised it to $60 and they don't have nor are interested in having day passes. Bummer! To really top it off, I had to spend part of this morning after I got off work to run errands and pick up supplies for an injured mare I have. The bikers are going thru town on the way to Austin in an almost continous stream, not so few of them loud enough that I could hear them inside some of the buildings I was in. I'm also sitting here in my house listening to them go by as I live like one property line off 290 and

I CAN'T GO!

 

This is worse than it was while I was up in the hubby's home town of Prairie du Chien, Wis. last month, in some of the most beautiful bike riding country there is in the middle of what I could have sworn was a Goldwing convention as that was about all I saw the first day I was up there. I even threatened to steal a couple just so I could take a ride up along the Mississippi river.

 

 

GRRRRRR!!

[Hummingbird]

That was quite a vent - I'm sure you feel much better

 

 

at least I hope you feel better

When Last Month?? 4 couples from VRO, including Karen and I, stayed across the river in Marquette on the 21st. We went through PDC to get there, and we all had breakfast at a restaurant on the north side of PDC Sunday morning.

 

Ya should have called:scratchchin:, Scooter Bob

[eusa1]

we could have set an extra place at the table, or even on one the bikes, huh bob?

Sorry to hear you could not do the Doobie Bros concert.

I saw them a few years ago at Blossum in Ohio. 2nd row, middle stage. I shook hands with two of them.

They played with Chicago that night.

Hope you get the chance to see them in the future.

Hungry House?? We stay at the BrisBois motel next door when we're in town. The trip had us playing leapfrog between PdC and Anoka, a suburb of Minneapolis. We were up in PdC the weekend of the 14th, again on the 19th/20th, and again on the 24th and headed home from there. Had dinner at the casino buffet one night but didn't go out on the ole paddlewheeler. I hope to do that next trip.

YEP, Hungry House is where we had breakfast morning of the 22nd. And the night of the 21st we had supper at the Casino. Scooter Bob & Karen, Eusa1 & Sherrie, Rick Hayward and Shirley and Lisa & I were up there for a ride after a M&E.

Next time you are coming up to this neck of the woods give one of us a call I bet someone would be happy to go for a ride around the area with you guys.

And keep a watch for in October for the "Wisconsin leaf lookers weekend" 920shrek1 (Ken) and I put it on last year, had rides on Friday and Saturday around some pretty Wisconsin back (blacktop) roads. Sat around a campfire at night BS'ed and (A1bummer) Bill cooked super (GREAT COOK TOO)! Had a great time so we are going to do it again this year. Come on up!
