One of my favorite pics from a couple years ago in Hearne on our Equidistant Ride.

All of you that are parents need to show your kids what good clean living will make you look like compared to an overweight, cigar smoking. wind sucking cardiovascular cripple that surprises the medical profession by making it to 73.

Living large and enjoying it,
Tex

Sorry, Paul consumes FAR too much huckleberry ice cream and beer to be considered 'living clean'...

Beaver · « **Reply #33 on:** August 03, 2016, 08:02:32 PM »

This is one of my favorite "Tex" pictures

He does clean up pretty good too! Recognize the Legion Lake?

Ya'll come to Lindale for the Guzzi Riders in Texas (GRIT) Rally.
Aka the Best Little Rally in Texas.

Beautiful and spacious venue in the Texas piney woods.
Spaces with electrical hookups or set up you tent in the woods.
Fishing lake with real fish. Wide selection of hotels in town a a couple of miles from Rally site. Interesting rides and sights.

Delicious food, great comraderie, tire kicking and tall - tale telling by a distinguished man of heroic proportions.

Meet the hostess with the mostest and her hard working crew.
Dine on a lovingly-prepared spaghetti feast. Spend the evening around the fire pit listening to the music of Amarillo and Abilene, with the friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen.

Don't miss it!

Folks. You don't want to miss this one. It is more betterer than some
of the others. Just a great time. In Texas. What more is there to say?

Well. Wait . . .

Rumor has it there will be a mysterious, undisclosed, mystery surprise this year.

Texas Turnip · « **Reply #46 on:** September 17, 2016, 06:34:57 AM »

Again this year there will be lagniappe and Dusty's favorite..codswallo p!

The dessert breads are made and in the freezer. Made extra banana split bread this year. Took two loaves to the American Legion and didn't even get to bring home the crumbs.

My cuz Slicer stopped by and said he couldn't make it Sat night to the rally as Mineola was having a "Ladies night out." Slicer, you won't get throwed, throad throde out, but you will get rolled out of town.

Yes our rain hit this evening, bringing in the cold front! No tornadoes and no floods! Weather for the rally will be perfect!

Bettythebear, I've got your Youngest Rider award all ready for you! :)

Sam Baker, you gonna put a show on for us around the campfire?

See y'all soon,

Beaver

PJPR01 · « **Reply #52 on:** September 26, 2016, 10:58:50 AM »

Counting the days...weather looks perfect.

Going to bring up some Polish Poppyseed cake I just bought in Toronto to see if Tex enjoy it as much as his breakfast breads...maybe even convince him to incorporate into next year's menu!

Beaver · « **Reply #53 on:** September 26, 2016, 12:04:42 PM »

Mmmm, sounds yummy Paul! Don't eat it all before you get here! :)

The premium at the stations is supposed to be real gas.
FWIW. I run the cheapest reg I can find.

See you soon,
Tex

Beaver · « **Reply #57 on:** September 27, 2016, 10:33:16 PM »

There are some gas stations at Lake Fork, 20 - 30 miles north west of Lindale that advertise ethanol-free gas.

Paul, Ken won a can of Polish at the National Rally in Virginia a few years ago. He wasn't sure what it was for, but he was thinking maybe it would be a tasty spread on your Polish Poppyseed cake. Should he bring it with him?

Hi Georgeann,

By all means...let's see what it is. Generally Poppy Seed cake is eaten without anything else on top, but I'd be curious to see what the contents are. I'll also bring 1/2 a loaf of walnut bread - same shape as the Poppy Seed Cake, but made with walnuts. These are all typical Eastern European pastries...highly addictive ones...my dad used to bring them back from Poland on his trips...very special treats!

Looks like we'll be headed up Saturday with Tom and my buddy Rob as well...should be there mid afternoonish...

Weather is just perfect for riding...wish I could take a whole week off to go and ride!
