So You had 2 riding days. What do you think?
If it wasn't for Mom ... I'd move to Texas ... no state income tax ... get me a toy hauler ... and an RV Park address ... 
So far have only taken a 20 mile round trip to Walmart. I met Paws yesterday and she was going to try to round up a few folks to take a ride. I'll be contacting her in a bit. Next 3 days are looking mighty fine for some riding.
I just subscribed as a Gold Member so will be able to communicate directly to members once I'm added..

John...if you have contact with George other than this site, i.e., cell phone or e-mail, perhaps you could ask him to post which site number he is in at the Old River Road park so that we can find him. I have been over there twice and only saw Dennis’ trike and mine.
The more the merrier!
Will be nice to finally meet you and your wife in person also....Lola has told me how much she enjoyed riding with you two.

It is looking like Saturday and Sunday might be pretty nice weather if Nuc and Lola would be interested. Friday is a little on the cooler side but not bad - showing sunshine.
What do you think? I will probably see DblTrbl sometime tomorrow and maybe we can get a ride planned out with you two .... AND WHOEVER ELSE WOULD LIKE TO JOIN IN...HELLO-O-O!!?? Maybe we’ll have found George to let him know.

I'm ready to ride so let's do it! Tomorrow I'll head out and fill her up with some fresh fuel. Just text me before heading over since I'm in the lazy mode and half the time don't know the day or time. Lol

Only way to ride bro. Saw many scoots out today. Wish my health wouldn't hinder my ability to ride in chilly weather like I used to. Damn circulation issues in my legs monkey wrench that. Can't wait for 70* on a consistent basis. :clapping:

The road goes on for ever ..........
Sadly,it's all about the bottom line to the bean counters. Been there, done that with several major companies when they deep 6'd their corporate fleets because of the likes of J B Hunt, Schneider Transportation, Warner and the other irregular route carriers that cut freight costs so deep as to not make a captive fleet profitable. Well ........ The major idea behind a corporate fleet was the equipment served as a rolling billboard. That and guaranteed on time delivery, non weather related. 10 yrs behind the wheel of a pink Peterbuilt. West bound service road of I-20 near Midland-Odessa in the mid 80's.
And yes, I do miss that 'ol truck. (Crying)
Yeah, not leaving anything on the table. My actual work day will be Dec 19th if everything goes as planned. HR told me I had to be here on Dec 31 to clear out of the company and turn my keys, badge and parking pass in. I explained that I will be half way across the country BUT, is she insisted I be here on the 31st, I would not turn my stuff in at that time and I would be to work on Jan 2nd. If I do that, they need to give me my 4 weeks vacation AND one week PTO. I would then sign out to use ALL that time and they can pay me for not being here. LOL Geez, guess what.... All of a sudden, I can turn my stuff in on the 19th and remain on the payroll thru the 31st. It's a holiday miracle.
I will never understand why companies need to mess with people after they have been faithful to them even after being screwed over.

Wonderful, a Road Captain to keep us all in line.
I am all in for Saturday and/or Sunday. Had I been really smart I would not have made commitments for tomorrow and Friday.

We only have FB between George's wife Carrol and Jan. Not very reliable. Just ask at the office for George. We have been at his place but, Last I heard, he sold his rig and was in a cabin. I saw a group of trikes from Old River at Coopers Bbq in Mason last year so I know they're there. I will message a biker that lives by me in MI, thats there now.
