Big John,
   I looked around the map there... I don't see any place to get Miller Lite...LOL...

Rudy called and is not going to be able to make it. His excuse for backing out is legitimate...We will ride together again... So if I make it, I will be solo...

Don't dispair El-Stevo I just iced down a pony keg of Newcastle, we can get miller if you need to ;D

Right now the wife and I are planning to ride up Friday after I get off work.  Should get there around 7.  Save us a good camp spot!

No such thing as a bad spot at this rally Darren. You can camp under a roof if you want to :D

I will try and make it for saturday festivities. Will cage it also, but may bring my other two wheeler along.

Really need to stay home and get gear ready for the season, but hard to miss a fish fry.

gotta work fri night into sat morning so no telling when I will roll.

Red and I should be there mid-day tomorrow.  Saturday.  We'll be driving the Suburban, but may have a bike on the Versa-Haul.  We'll see.

Red has a surprise for the two birthday boys, Dusty and Lowryter...   :food

The weather forecast is, in a word ...FABULOUS , MOST PLEASING , BEAUTIFUL , VERY PLEASANT ! Take your pick . 
Slight chance of rain , mid 70s , light winds , told everyone we would have good weather  :D
I would like to make an observation re rallies/camp outs . My two local buddies both have the time and money to attend , and claim they would like to come . However , both of them have come up with several excuses as to why they can't . I have decided the truth is that neither one really "WANTS" to come , simply afraid to leave  the comforts of home . Sad really , both are much younger than me , and act like two old men . Oh well , won't ask them anymore if they want to have fun , guess the television provides better entertainment than riding MCs and hanging out with good folks . Sorry for the rambling , but there is a point . I am very grateful to have found a group of people who refuse to get old , preferring to get out and experience some life  :bow Thanks folks , see you all tomorrow .

Well , sorry the hush puppies didn't turn out quite as intended , still refining the outdoor technique . Hope everyone had fun , I certainly did  :) Slightly disappointed that no spanking occurred , well , to be correct , Stormtruck offered , but he ain't nearly as cute as Marcia  ;D Thanks to all for attending , some of the locals came to to the park as I was packing to leave , stated that we were a very pleasant group , and to come back , of course they weren't around at night  ;D

I got home at 1100.  Then got repacked to go my mom's for Easter and family Birthdays.  Lots of travel.

Dusty the food was great.  I had two of those monster hushpuppies. 

When I shook Stormtruck's hand, lightning flashed across the sky; I think the space-time continuum farted- at least that's how scientists describe it.  Fubar's description of the IRS was an eye opener.   Great to see Steve's new 1400.  Doug carried on with KP.  I mooched some great scotch & cigar from ST. 

Marcia, special thanks for the cake.  What a surprise and great artwork.

A great time was had by all.

   Yes, a great time. ;-T I think all topics were thoroughly discussed and all problems solved around the (excellent!) campfire. Many,many thanks to Doug (master of planning and organizing) and Dusty for the food, firewood and legwork to make this possible. It was nice to meet folks I hadn't yet had the opportunity to, and even better to find out they're all nuts! Very honorable mention goes out to Guzzistajohn for the fine music he provided via whatever that newfangled gadget was, and to FUBARGUZZI for a very entertaining story at the campfire. And Mike (kirby1923) is an Ironman. Well done,sir!
  Thanks all....I had fun.

You're welcome T. I do that for my own benefit too ;D It was great being with friends that appreciate my twisted taste in tunes.

Anyone that knows the story of JoeBob the greatest halfback must be OK!

He met up with a waitress, her name was Loose Ruby Cole, while she was waitin' tables down at the hidey ho................. .........

The Falcon was cool, just like riding with Uncle Clarence ;-T

We landed home about 2300 tonight.  Made decent time, had an escorted 80 mph leg for most of Missouri. ( I think the guy in front of us had an Escort radar detector) :+=copcar ;).  Thank you to Dusty and Doug  for the fine vittles.  Loved the fish and hush puppies! ;-T :drool :food  It was GREAT to meet everyone, ever our loyal opposition (LIBERALS!) ;) :D LowRyder.  He is nothing like you described him Dusty.  He does walk upright and speak in full well structured sentences!!  ;) :D ;D ( Actually John, Dusty has always spoken highly of you).  I really enjoyed meeting everyone. Lorraine even had a good time. We are glad everyone seemed to enjoy Lorraine's little horsed overs and and our small contribution to the spirits of the party. :BEER:  Special thanks to Guzzisti John for the trust and honor of the use of his Tiger.  Even though it turned on me as we we leaving the rally.  No lasting injuries to me, but alas I did put a pretty good hurtin on the Tiger.  Tim, I hope you are feeling better and hopefully you can make the Nationals and stay the whole rally. I can say without reservation, that this was the most enjoyable rally we have ever attended.  Bravo Zulu to you Dusty, Doug, and all that helped make it such a great event. We already have April next year blocked out for whenever the 3rd Annual Cedar Vale Guzzi, Falcon(e) rally and soiree is.  Looking forward to it. Pictures to follow TBD.




HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUSTY

I arrived in beautiful downtown Chester about six just ahead of rain all the way.Twenty five mpg to and thirty three back from Cedar Vail tail winds are great! Its Monday I am still hung over what do they put in beer these days?I would have stayed another couple days however I was running really LOW on  propane for the furnace.I will suggest next year we should have some sort of prepay to help cover expenses for our hosts its getting to be a lot of out of pocket expense at one time,just sayin. See ya all next year.

The good thing is Easter will move.

The way that Easter Sunday is chosen will take care of that , next year it on the 5th of April . Sorry , but if we move the dates it conflicts with Luap's deal , or someones Bar Mitzvah , or a solar eclipse , or ,... well something  :D
