Ran around a little bit yesterday doing the local errands.. The Green One felt pretty good, once I got 'er all warmed up .. Damned thing did a little farting and popping when it first cranked up.. By the time I got it out on the street and showered down on it a couple of times, that sucker settled down and ran like the proverbial sewing machine.. as usual.. All those after Christmas shoppers were out and about.. The streets surrounding the malls were bumper to bumper. lol.. Those idiots were trying their best to kill each other off .. I guess they were scared that someone would beat them to the sales, or something.. Anyway.. there I was.. pretty good little breeze gusting around, once in a while.. and feeling real good, on my Green Vulcan.. Couldn't have been out for more than two hours, but it sure was a hoot.. Just watching some of those cage riders was alarming.. Thought to myself.. "Self.. there is always tomorrow and we can come back and finish all these errands, then".. Well.. here tomorrow is.. and what a disappointment.. There has been one heavy rain after the other, all day.. Hell, I haven't even got all the crud off that Green Vulcan after the last trip we made.. That sucker stayed covered and on the mexican's patio.. all day.. Gonna be there till this weather straightens up, too.. Making plans to do that trip down to Guadalajara in a few more months and there may be a trip to Austin in the works.. I haven't got all the details yet, but Legislature is going into Session next month.. Opening day will hopefully see a few thousand bikers from around the state, visiting the Capitol to participate in their government.. I've kinda been out of the loop for a while, so I'm not sure what all is on the agenda and of interest to us, but you can bet.. there is plenty for us to do.. Till then.. Regards Bill Walker Irving
