    The weather report his morning doesn't look real promising for anyone who is
    planning to ride east, south or west.. Does that just about cover us in
    DFW.. LOL.. I think so..

    The past few rides that I've made. seems to have been in some heavy rain..
    This weekend should be no exception..Somebody needs to introduce a Bill to
    do something about all this rain..

    Watching the weather channel seems to be an exercise in futility.. The
    administration keeps blaming all this on the hurricane attacks that have
    been banging away at Florida.. It is apparent that other forces are at play,
    here.. With the upcoming elections a month and a half away, I believe the
    government is making every effort to keep us all penned down and unable to
    move about..

    There should be an investigation into this matter, immediately..

    With all this in mind, I am systematically packing for my run to Texarkana,
    today.. I've carefully mapped a route that I have carefully designed to
    dodge and evade the rain that is being tracked to our south and east..
    Hell.. I ain't going west anyway, so why bother with mapping that area..

    With all due respect, I am convinced that Tom DeLay and Rick Perry have
    devised an underhanded means to sabotage my trips, no matter which direction
    that I might choose.. Those two hellions must be removed from office before
    their actions can cause furthur damage to the environment..

    I could decide to just stay home, but the committments that I have made will
    not allow me that luxury.. Ah well.. nobody ever told me, that life is
    easy.. Now .. I am convinced..

    Ride safe everyone..

    LOL.. I cleared the metroplex area, under cloudy skies and broken clouds..
    Somewhere around Royce City, along I-30, the sky had cleared quite a bit and
    I finished the ride to Texarkana, enjoying sunshine.. The temps were
    pleasant until I reached the Richmond Rd. exit in Texarakana..

    While I topped off the tank, it commenced spitting rain at me.. For just a
    few minutes, it appeared to be getting ready to really unload.. Then it
    cleared off again.. The rest of the day was nice and comfortable.. That was
    the end of the rain that I expected..

    Hmmmm.. Sorry that we didn't make connections while I was in Texarkana.. but
    we had a real nice reunion with the family.. I don't get a chance to spend
    as much time with all those ol'cuzzins, as I'd like.. There's always next
    year.. huh ? Regards. bjay..

    Glad you had a good ride and didn't get too wet. So much for
    weathermen. We were supposed to have three days of rain here. I
    never saw a drop even though I saw a few squals on the doppler from
    time to time. Looked like it was really a hit or miss situation.

    You got a "lame leg" anyway.. The only hope you've got, to even get mounted
    is for me to let you two up with me.. LOL... Damn.. I'll sure be glad when
    your sore leg gets better.. Maybe your disposition will improve, also.. Stop
    "pouting"...

    It is just under 200 miles from my house..
    I usually make it in just under 3 hours..
    Yeah.. there is some alternate routes that are pretty good.. Of course.. the
    interstate is just a straight shot.. Don't like it too much and there isn't
    much to enjoy..

    We could sure do that, pard.. Anytime you guys want to make a run for it,
    just let me know.. I'm always ready.. you know that..
