    We left the house and rode over to New Waverly and ate breakfast at the Waverly House resturant. Good Food.
    Then rode up I45 yo OSR and rode down to Normangee, and just south of there we needed some gas so we stopped at a Service Station.
    Really liked the price of the gas.

    But the pumps had locks on them.

    Its always nice to ride with the OL.
    She was screaming at me Sunday and monday for a ride this weekend.
    Last Sat and sun it rained.
    She had to leave for work in Houston all week.
    Here is the resturant we ate breakfast at.
    Couple of ranchers drove their tractors down to have breakfast.
    When we was leaving. About 25 bikes pulled in.
    A lot of bikers eats here.

    WOW! When I was a kid my Dad owned an American Gas (AMOCO) station and I pumped gas out of pumps just like that! Used to get hypnotized by the spinning of the do hicky in the little round glass. BTW, I remember pumping American Premium (White gas) at 25.9 cents per gallon! :eek:

    Finally seen the photos....looks like a relaxing and scenic ride.

    I was stationed in Texas and loved it there in the cooler months... not so much in the summer months. Great motorcycling roads.

    Did I ever tell you about my pet taratulla spider?

    Welcome softaildelux, after a certain number of posts you can go into either quote or add reply and under manage your attachments you will see where you can upload a pic from your computer. We did the certain number of posts to try and help eliminate some of the spammers. I think it's about 6 posts. Hope you stick around and post here. We welcome new blood all the time. :D

    If after posting more and you can't figure it out send me a private message and Ill give you a more detailed step by step.
