HARD RAIN..all night..and this morning..Big Brother Got a case of The Jaw'z, made me put my big diesel and ole #4's Frontier out in the rain, while he backed his 63 Fairlane w/ bike trailer attached..into my carport and strapped his Drifter on it !

Told me to brew him a thermos of coffee as he was heading out over Donner Summit..toward the Great plains !

I had about 3/4 of a thermos of coffee in the pot from this morning's brew...so I filled his Stanley with all the coffee..then pissed it the rest of way full !

He should be topping Donner Pass, about now !

Semi Clear today (yesterday)...started raining again about 9:pm tonite -Normal for the time of year.
Big bro got road gestapo'ed short of the donner summit -was told to "chain up the 63 Fairland And the bike trailer or ..go back"
He headed back, fueled at "rag heads" quicky market..and got a tank of water..tore down the carb twice in the rain..shredded a trailer tire..change to the spare, in the rain.. managed to arrive back here at "Maragaita Flat's', about dark last evening !

Did You Ride Today? Where To and How Far?

Was going to take a trip to El Reno Oklahoma which is about 170 miles sw of where I live. As we are ready to pull out my buddy said lets go east it's a prettier drive. Ended up in eureka springs Arkansas. Never pulled out a map. 330 miles. Saw parts of Missouri and Arkansas I don't think I have seen before.

Rode a couple hundred miles this weekend through the twisties in north Alabama thanks to a VRA buddy of mine. Great riding all weekend, took the wife out for a short ride yesterday and nearly dropped it at a stop sign at the top of a big ass hill. We made it safely home and i get to ride to work all week.

You're lucky. I got two 20 minute rides in yesterday. The good part was they were serious twisties.
