Started to walk out to the bike to ride somewhere for dinner.  Walked back inside.  f$%* this.

[Twolanerider]

Really don't think it's quite that ^ hot.  But it's still freaking hot.

[Yellow09SERG]

Plenty close enough!!!

It's going to be hot all weekend here in MO. Bit I am going to the Leather and Lace rally in Lathrop, MO tomorrow and coming back Sunday.

Obvious case of Global Warming Ride Abort Syndrome.

Went for a ride tonight to a bike night.  For vet charity, a good one.  Heat index is 105.  Humidity is "#$%@& extreme sauna".  Made a donation, paid my respects, and left when my clothes were about as wet as the thunderheads on the horizon.  Home 5 minutes, the bottom dropped out.  Beer there was $6 a glass, here at home is considerably less.

I'm not very smart either Mike.  I left anyway.  Really wanted good fried chicken and my favorite place is about 45 minutes away. Sitting there right now. A little Rhodes doing 65 or 70 and for less than an hour it was just another great ride. The road king Dash instrument will display cylinder head temperature so out of curiosity that's what I had on coming over here. At 65 to 70 it was showing about 240 to 245. When I had to slow down on I-35 and 44 the last mile it visited 260. My bikes are liquid cooled too.  It's just the liquid is enough fuel to actually get the job done.

Oh my sitting here a little Mom and Pop's Fried Chicken Place called Chicken Mary's.  I love this place. Always busy and always friendly. My waitress tonight is a brand-new first night on the job 17 or 18 year old kid named Grace. She seems nervous as hell. I think I gave her a $10 tip for the $12 meal to make her night.

Made her night for sure Don!  A good place, no doubt.

Still raining here, for about an hour now, temp has dropped to 86.  Charity was a good cause, but the bike night location is my least favorite in town.  Over priced beer & they brag on their baked chicken wings.  Not sure why they do, nothing to brag about from what I have had there.  Big semi foo foo chain place with 8x10 glossy full color menu describing all the wunnerfulness of the foo-fooeries.  They had a good turnout, saw a lot of riding friends.  Talked to a buddy who just got back from a 5,000 mile ride, we compared notes on stuff in Upper Michigan.  All good.  They were on a patio, either they are getting wet or moved inside to the A/C, were slammed before I left.

Am eating a home cooked ham green bean casserole that is light years better than anything on their menu. Followed by a home made spice cake with cream cheese icing.  If still hungry, there is always ice cream.  May wander amok on a ride tomorrow, with no particular place to go.  Lately that has been my favorite.

Home just a little bit ago. Took the long cut home.  Dinner was excellent.  The waitress was trying so very hard and was so sweet even though she was fighting through learning everything.  She thanked me for being a dirty old man nice while mentioning others hadn't been so patient her first night.  Left $20 on the table as I headed out and smiled all the way home.

A fine evening!

Just realized, in the hour+ I was at the bike night restaurant, never had one waiter/waitress.  20-25 people in our group.  When anybody wanted a drink, they left our tables and went to the bar to get it themselves.  Plenty of wait staff, a lot of them on the patio, just not working the area we were in. We had menus, nobody placed a food order, because....nobody.   Odd.  I tipped accordingly.

On a better note the wife went grocery shopping while I was bike nighting and returned with....Peanut M&Ms.  My all time favorite candy.

Why?  Did you forget your jacket??

Gotta wear something on days like.  Go in your birthday suit and the wind burn in your special places is uncomfortable  !

[coloradotom]

Just wait til the sun goes down, see how much better this is?

Somehow, I believe you have firsthand knowledge of this.
