I found this hat at our local flee market in SoCal. It came all the way from China and needed to find its way home to North Carolina. So we got up early Thursday morning with a plan.

Looking good all, heat wave back here, 105 degrees every day and to continue.

Yesterdays ride was a hot one but the food and friends were great.

I must have found some racing fuel cause the 110 ran mighty fine.

We met a friendly bar tender on Beale St. and he was good to the hat.

grandpadoc · « **Reply #14 on:** September 14, 2014, 09:49:45 PM »

...and had a great dinner with an assortment of BBQ. I think he is liking his heritage.

grandpadoc · « **Reply #15 on:** September 14, 2014, 09:52:26 PM »

We got up early this morning and had breakfast at the Denny's off Beale St. and there it was. Don't know what happened to it all night but you know what they say about "what happens in Memphis..."

grandpadoc · « **Reply #18 on:** September 15, 2014, 10:16:28 PM »

Walked by the stadium on the way back to the motel.

grandpadoc · « **Reply #19 on:** September 15, 2014, 10:40:26 PM »

Then it was off to Graceland where it made some new friends.

grandpadoc · « **Reply #20 on:** September 15, 2014, 10:42:24 PM »

...and toured Elvis's Digs.

grandpadoc · « **Reply #21 on:** September 15, 2014, 10:44:44 PM »

grandpadoc · « **Reply #22 on:** September 15, 2014, 10:52:55 PM »

Met up with Jerry (Ultrafxr) and J.Carolyn for some great BBQ tonight. They took us to the #1 Rib Joint in Memphis. Tomorrow it will get a lesson in its country heritage in Nashville at the Opry. So much to do and so little time.
