Parked Here for the Night

I had one wonder why it took so long to get from New Market, MD on the other side of the Chesapeake Bay off of US50 to Strasburg, VA on a weekday afternoon. I told him there's this pile of dog poo in the way called Washington DC.

 

Parked at the Flying J in Wichita Falls, TX. Have an hour and 15 min left on my 70 and I'll recap/reset hours on Sunday. Will sneak over to the Love's tomorrow for a shower. Parked here tonight because I'm craving Wendy's, lmao.

 

Too bad I'm with the kids. I would have swung by and bought you a meal at the Mexican restaurant down the road.

 

Its the thought that counts, enjoy the kiddo time

 

Kangaroo in Sanford NC

 

And that's insulting the dog poop..

 

Low 50's and sunny for the first time in a week. Dropped my trailer for a load out in the morning and bobtailed home. So I got a big check in the mail to deposit but my wife is away in her car, and am in one of the more truck-hostile cities in the area. What's a guy to do for a ride?

Roll out the '49 Panhead chopper I haven't ridden in over a year and see if I can make it to the bank before 1600, of course. She don't like cold, but cooperated with a low effort crank up nonetheless. Took me a couple of stops to regain my hand shift foot clutch coordination LOL. The guy parked next to me at the bank stopped to watch me start it when I got ready to leave. Twisted the throttle once for a fuel prime, turn it over one kick to let it inhale, then turn the key on for a one-kick start. Yeah baby! Even with an audience!

 

It's because of the really strong headwinds on I-66 WB caused by DC sucking so hard.

 

I thought about giving you a million dollars...

Holy cow...it's...it's quiet here! I mean, I could hear a pin drop on the parking lot outside my rig! Jeez...I'm beside myself.

Quiet may not compute...but it's sure as hell enjoyed.
