THIS WEEK !  Thursday (TAX DAY 4/15) I leave from E. Dallas 9AM go out over Tawakoni - hit some curves for a while - Lunch at E. Texas Hamburgers in Mineola - back in Dallas by 3:00 PM before anyone knows you are missing!  [thumbsup] I have to work in Addison at 4:00 so I must be back myself

It's about 250 Mi. with a third getting to/from playland through nice country, no highways required unless you need to blast back :P !  Midweek is sweet with not much happening between school bus times !  ;D

[evil] Anyone able to play hooky ?  [thumbsup]

Post Up IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE -  !!

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Holy shit! Someone else actually knows where this place is??? Cool. They have great hamburgers and O-rings!! My farm is about 30 minutes max from that intersection in Mineola. I take 80 out of Dallas, hang a left in Mineola, go north on 37 to Quitman, go east on 154 to 2869, then go north to 4596 which is a tiny farm to market road... maybe smaller. Anyway, good burgers for sure!! I need to go this week, probably Tuesday through Wednesday evening. But I could do the scooter tour damn near anytime! Have farm work to do this week but would love to do the burger tour sometime! I used to keep the GSXR1000 at the farm but will be taking the GSXR750 down there the next time I go so I could always meet you if things work that way!! How freaking cool is that???

 8) That is cool Fastwin - my folks had a farm near Pine Mills for 20 years.  Highway 80 is quicker but 276 over the lake is prettier and then there are some amazing curves near Alba that bring you in to Quitman - & Hiway 49 has some sweet twists.  Anyway we could do it next week if better for you ( I will probably go this Wed just because I can ).  [moto]  Love those burgers & sweet potato fries @ E. Tex Burger Co.

I can't make the Muenster ride this time because of the weekends belonging to Cyclonette until THC !!  :P

So if anyone else wants to steal a weekday away - let me know - I will probably do it more than once this Fall!  [thumbsup]

I'll be trucking to the farm this week since I have farm work to do and will probably pull the trailer to leave the Gixxer down there for future rides. Don't do that as much as I would like because I am usually too busy doing farm work to go for rides. I would be up for a weekday Mineola burger run next week for sure. This time of year is my favorite riding weather, especially if you catch the leaves falling... my dream ride is to do the northeast one day during the fall, Vermont, Connecticut... anywhere up there would be cool. [thumbsup] [moto] Pass through Pine Mills all the time on 49 out of Mineola to the farm. Ever checked out the Pine Mills Pottery? They make cool stuff.

Hmmm, seems like that might take more than 1 day, but lemme know. That would be a great trip! (That's why I'm NOT selling the K bike & the Gerbing gear [thumbsup])

;D Excellent B - I'll probably do this week & next just because I can and weather is so awesome !!  Any day next week better for you ? Tues - Thursday would be best for me !  We own a sh*tload of Pine Mills Pottery - the Hatchers have been good friends for many years - it is amazing to watch them fire up that wood fired kiln - ususally every full moon !

 [moto] LAST CALL for today's cruise!! It's perfect weather to ride empty roads of twistyness through E. TX hills & pines  !!  [bacon] [bacon]

It's ok I'm used to riding alone - drinking alone - having sex alone.. uh... watching TV alone !!  Y'all would just hold me back anyway [laugh] - Fastwin, maybe next week eh ? 

[coffee] Keep your noses to the grindstones today kids - no daydreams of roaring by schools & offices letting your free flags fly in the faces of the corporate despots !!  I'm sure you will be able to live with the decision to work today instead of riding in the sweet chill !!  [cheeky]  No, I'm lying, you'll be up at 4:00 AM with your guilty consciences thinking life is passing you by - again !! Just kidding !!! No I'm not, come with me next week !! [thumbsup]

Heading out at 9:00 AM !!! SEE YA !!

Jeez Donald, I am going to the farm this evening after dinner to meet heating/ac guys tomorrow morning then coming straight home. My house took a lightning strike which toasted the phone, ac unit, 'frig (that was fun cleaning it out, it had been stewing in it's own juices for weeks... can you say mold? [puke]) and the water well system. What fun? :P Looks like it's going to rain all day today and tomorrow so I'll for sure be trucking it. Then I'm leaving town Thursday-Sunday. Maybe next week??

I've got things planned for both Wednesday afternoon (2:30) and Thursday, all day   [bang]  WTH?   I'd be "in" for this otherwise.  Are you making this a weekly kind of deal?  Sounds cool and definitely do-able...
