Getting the Doctor out of the way to ride....

I went to the Doctor's office this morning, and they reviewed and renewed..  Or at least I think they did as I haven't been to the pharmacy....

But I drove right home and jumped into my riding clothes.... Lunch was at Miss B's down in Louisburg.....  I was late so I laid on some speed out on the double lane highway.... Made tracks..... And managed to arrive just a a bunch of them were heading into the restaurant..



Again these pictures are on the Romeo Web Site with their image codes imbeded here.



We had quite the crowd in the dining room....



And there I am sitting on the left end.. I didn't have the obligatory yellow/green Romeo shirt on as blinding the doctor wasn't in my things to do list...

But as we made it back out to the parking lot, it began to sprinkle... Not good... But the rain seemed off toward the South, and I needed to go North.... I had worn the full face helmet and had the liner for my jacket, so I was prepared for once.

But as I headed out, I drove away from the impending wet conditions.....  That is until I turned back to the West......  But again it was just sprinkles and I made it home mostly dry...

That was good for a little while longer, but as the afternoon has progressed the rains have arrived...

Since I hadn't had any breakfast in preparation of the Doctor's office visit, my hunger got the better of me and I ordered Chicken Fried Steak and mashed potatoes....    But I only had a half order...  Again, a half order was well beyond what a normal person needs..

So as the afternoon progressed, so did the nap..... After all I was up at 6 AM which is before this fellows usual time.....

Tomorrow, the fellows are going to the town of Melvern, which is about 70 miles Southwest of here...    We camp at the tail waters of the Melvern Lake where there is a Core of Engineers camp....  This is an especially nice COE park, and we use it as a last night spot for cleaning up the coach.

The town of Melvern is not on the lake, but rather to the East a few miles...  I have never been to the cafe there......  But the catch in this plan is that it is to continue raining tonight and again in the morning...

Its hard for me to leave the house in the rain.... Its one thing to get caught in the rain, but purposely leaving in the rain seems to be more difficult..

  1. Those little restaurants must love seeing all you guys walk in - talk about 'making our day', that must be a bonanza for them.

    Riding a bike in the rain is like golfing in the rain - it's miserable and only done when you don't expect it.
