Very busy week prior to trip.
What a week for me. Yesterday, I went to the Nursing Home and visited the residents and my sister, Yesterday, I did some odd jobs for my wife and yesterday evening, I went to our semi-monthly Lion's Club meeting. This Morning, I went for breakfast, came home, checked my wife's hot tub. Redid the mountings of my Saddle Bags on my Harley, went to the river and got water from the spring. I then mounted the flags on my Harley, went outside and cleaned my waterfall. Tomorrow, I leave for Arkansas for a 3 day visit, coming back Friday afternoon, Friday evening we are invited to dinner at some friends house, for my birthday. Saturday we travel 80 miles round trip and clean 2 businesses. Sunday I have my regular duties and Monday, I leave on my Harley for a trip to West Virginia/Virginia. Sunday afternoon will be packing my tour pack and strapping everything down on my Harley so I can leave early Monday morning around 6 am. I realize rain will slow me down if I encounter it but, I have rode many, many miles in rain and if it isn't lightning, I am confident riding in the rain unless excess wind causes it to blind me and, in that case, I would pull off and wait it out.
I am so looking forward to this trip. I haven't taken a motorcycle trip like this since 1969.
I used to burn the road up then but, I was 25 years old then too!!!! I am not going to push it but, I hope to make 400 plus miles a day. We'll see how this turns out. I have been needing this "get away" for quite some time, moreso lately. I realize if I don't go now, bad weather could affect me and would be more dangerous. I am not getting any younger either so, while I can, I need to take this trip.

First of all I want to wish you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY tomorrow. Second thing is I\'m gona play mama to you and ask you to please be careful. Remember to pray before you start out each day covering yourself in the precious blood of the Lamb, putting God\'s hedge of angels and hedge of thorns around you along with the full armor of God. Please have someone that you call and check in with periodically. Also people on the road today are not like they were in the past, . May the Lord be with you in your travels and keep you safe. May you have a wonderful time with Him on your travels. God Bless You and I already miss you!!!!!!!!!!
