lol.. Jerry came walking down that street like he was in charge, didn't he
?
I was impressed with how the colors on that jumpsuit of his, was such a
perfect match with the Green Vulcan.. <grin>
hmmm.. Now that you mention it, I was really surprised when Morgan Kane
rolled up alongside of me, in Tomball.. He had a grin on his face that was
wide
as Texas... Sure good to see him, again.. Good eats in the Goodson's
Restaurant
too.. Thanks for the treat.. next time, I'm buying..

That old fat girl wasn't budging on the price, either.. You have to
consider,
she quoted us the price after she gave us the AARP discount.. I'd hate to
know
what she charges the public for full price.... Outrageous..

That's a fact.. Every Interstate was wall to wall.. Everyone trying to be
somewhere else on Thanksgiving Day.. <grin> Even us..

By all means.. Highway courtesy is my strong point, you know.. The rest of
my little ride to LaCasa was real good.. Traffic moving right along, not too
heavy and I made good time.. Forty five minutes, at most..

I'm not real big on gadgets, but he's sure got some handy little add ons ..
That
air horn impressed me most.. I think I recognized some of the guages he's
welded on that big sucker, though.. hmmm.. That's recalling the days when I
operated Massey Feguson equipment.. Yep.. that's where I've seen that stuff
before..
One of these days, if and when Bjay ever gets a kitchen pass to leave the
zip
code in Bowie county, he needs to ride down and take a close look at all the
stuff that Jerry has bolted on his Valkyrie.. <grin> That'll cause him to
start
decorating that old borrowed and maintainance deprived motorcycle of his..
Happy Thanksgiving.. hope everyone has a good one..
