Its Tuesday!!

How do I manage to get into the very center of the pictures from today's ride...?



But there I am right in the middle with the yellow green shirt on... Telling lies no doubt....

We went to Weston, Missouri... This is on the Weston Bend of the Missouri River... Its quite the antique town with many old stores full of treasurers that are for sale....

We managed to put 87 bikes on main street when one of the guys counted them up, but he said about 10 of them pulled away as he got there...

The Missouri river weaves along winding its way toward Nebraska up in this corner of Kansas.. So I rode from Olathe up Ks 7 highway to Leavenworth. Where Leavenworth prison is located. And then at the last minute you duck back across the river and you are in Missouri again.. Weston is about 7 miles North of the bridge on the East side of the river...



They claim we turned over the dining room three times and had overflow out into the main restaurant floor as well... I think we had the town overwhelmed.....

The Romeo web site has the complete story .....

The rest of our day here was rather boring as the yard was knee high to an elephant.....   I had to park the motor cycle and get hot on the stick...  Loyce was out working on some of the plantings and told me it was going to rain again.....  So I had to get hot while the sun was shining...

The bad weather that was down in Oklahoma and Southern Kansas has been stretched across our area here as well...  We seem to be far enough North that the heavy activity is away from us...  Tonight the line of storms stretches from the Oklahoma line with Arkansas thru the central part of Missouri....  This misses us about 100 miles to our East...  

I can hardly bear to watch the news of children killed in their school.....  We have 5 grandkids in the schools here as well, so it is a little close to home for us...  May God be with them and their parents in this awful time....

  2. I've been thinking about you guys in Kansas while watching the terrible news out of Oklahoma and hoping you were o.k. Glad to hear the worst of the storms, especially the tornadoes have passed you by. The OK tornado was a monster.

    I guess you're just a photogenic magnet, Rod!!
