A couple folks were unavailable a few days next week so I hope you can all make thur the 26th. The ten-day forecast looks severe-clear right now. I’ll be keeping an eye on weather going into next week. Should be real nice .. mid to upper 80s.
Love to wear cool matching lime green shorts to match my KLR (work on that pic Mike

), but they say it’s not the ride but the slide to dress for so I’m layering as always.
Lastly, I’ll call the restaurant on Tuesday to warn them that we are coming. Ed …

Destiny cannot wait to take care of us on Thursday at Smoking Joes. She said if we get there before 11am when they open, we can go in and cool down. I’ll be there 20 min early to try and secure a table.
Looking forward. Ed ..

A great smokin hot ride today to Smokin Joes. Great food and such welcoming staff. Romeo fellowship was great too.
Let’s do a cool breakfast ride next week. The place has the best pancakes, homemade gravy and coffee. I’ll call in advance to make sure Aunt Bea is our cook. I met her last time I was there. She can cook !!!
Stay cool. I’ll post next week’s ride soon. Ed ..
PS: I swear these big combine and dump truck drivers watch and wait for me to take my last bite before getting into position for the ride home. Today was dump truck day.

Well, my first post had issues and deleted half of my pictures. Maybe it does not like emojis. Anyway, let me try to add a few more pics here. Sorry … I really liked my first post !!! Ugh.

Sorry gang. Couple more pics. I wanted them all in 1 post. I had a few emojis which blew away my pics.

Thank you Mike. Great pic of Destiny. We’re going back there in late July !!
I will post next week’s breakfast ride sometime this weekend over to Miller’s Kountry Store. Just need a slightly more accurate weather forecast so I don’t end up flip flopping our ride day due to rain.
I called and their great cook Aunt Bea (Cookie) will be cooking our food. Jasmine says they thank us in advance for our business and can’t wait to see us. Fresh ride post coming soon. Ed ..
