    Left this mornin and went up to Trinity, Tx. And seen a friend that's a Bike Mechanic.
    Left there and went up to Lovelady, Tx. turned down a side street and was out riding in the country.
    Punched in Gun Barrel City, Texas in my Garmin. It took me up side streets and farm roads threw all kinds of small towns to Gun Barrel City, Texas.
    Ate at The Japaleno Tree Resturant. MMMMMmmmmmmmmm it was good.

    I freaked out, and said there't no way I could ever of figured out all these turns.
    165 miles one way from the House up there one way..
    By the time I got home today we turned 370 miles.

    What started out this mornin, is my wife hit a pot hole on the way to the lake.
    I had to take it to the Tire Store and have the front end aligned.
    This is what put my day behind.

    OL needs a new set of tires on back of her truck.
    But says she thinks they got a few more miles on them.

    We got some things like gittin e Septic Tank sucked out and all were gonna try to do 1st.
    At least now the truck ain't pulling to the side.

    She can't see right in front of her, she runs over pot holes.
    She is short and can only see way out in front of her.
    Blows me away. I will say didn't you see that, No....

    Think she watch's the TV Commercials of them Demoing trucks and tries to drive like that thinkin its O.K.
