Downlow HOOKY: Midweek periodic E TX Burger Cruise !! ;-) - ICE Req!

[fastwin]

Ate at the E. TX Burger Co. today for lunch coming back from the farm. Man Mineola was hopping today! The restaurant was packed and the streets were buzzing with people going in and out of all the local antique stores. It looked like a busy, sunny Saturday afternoon. Not a boring old Tuesday. Don't normally stop in Mineola but you had me thinking about burgers!

 [moto] Hope you had some sweet potato fries - I love those things ! 

I'm heading out in the morning again - supposed to be chilly & perfect !  I will catch you later Fastwin & Cher just let me know when one or both of y'all can go !  I love these midweek outings since they are on the downlow and really not much is happening out in the sticks! 

I got so much ICE on me now I am changing weather patterns  - I shrunk my data and printed it out and & taped it to my cell phone case - inside the tank bag etc. 

If anyone wants to go with me tomorrow post up or PM me I will check it early tomorrow but I'm going !     [moto]  [moto]  [moto]

  Well I guess I'm heading out early !  No one to play hooky with...    again !  Guess y'all have to work really hard to pay for those expensive dewcattys & all those earplugs, huh ?   

Guess I need a Puggle & a Pod ?  Hasta la vista DMF'ers !!  Make those fingers bony !!!

Have a good one! Really enjoyed the drive down and back... too bad it was in my truck. This is my favorite time of year down there. Lots of leaves starting to fall on the road. Everything nice and green instead of the usual dead looking brown at summer's end due to lack of rain. It looks like spring it's so green. Hopefully we'll have a nice colorful fall in east TX.

Had to write a painful $550 check to get the heat/ac unit back on line. Ouch. Could have been worse. Still working on getting the frig back in usable order. All that nasty melted ice, ice cream and other perishables made it's way into every nook and cranny and started a mold festival of biblical proportions! Ugh. There is not enough bleach in Wood County to make this right. Nuked it again with more disinfectant wipes but this time I disassembled more interior panels in the freezer and found more "goo" living there. I unplugged it and left the doors open. It either has to get better or not. Hopefully I can save the cost of a new frig and the hassle of swapping them out.

OK, end of farm report. Back to your normally programed Ducati stuff. [moto]

Wow Fastwin my DAY was GREAT & $25.00 for gas !  It's like AR out there in some spots but way closer !  [moto]

I'll have to see your place sometime ( maybe after the stench abates ). We still have a lot of family out there in E. TX & it's so easy to be a hero paying the old folks a visit !

Whatever y'all did today - unless it involved the Pussycat Dolls - you shoulda been there - no pix because I didn't want to take my hand off the throttle  !

  Important report:  FREE PINTO BEANS at E. Tx Hamburger M-F while supplies last ! AWESOME - I need to send a discreet note & let them know they need tortillias! haaha

Only close encounter was up 2225 by Lake Fork there was a Hereford Bull halfway out a fence toward the road & I slowed waved to a farmer on a tractor tilling pointed at the bull and gave that flat hand wobble sign universal for doesn't look right, guy shrugged his shoulders and gave me a palms up  "what are you gonna do, it's an idiot bull!" - it would be like hitting a leather upholstered brick wall !  Interesting to speak with the locals without uttering a word!  [moto]

Ha!  Sounds like my excursion on 455/753 this afternoon: two loose dogs, one vulture on a low level reconnaissance run, a cow of some sort (and a par-a-tridge in a pe-ar tre-eeee).

Thank you.  Thank you very much.  Yeah,  I'm here all week... And don't forget to tip yer waitress...
