Title: I went to Auto Zone
Post by: britman on November 11, 2019, 12:13:25 PM
Left the house early this morning on the Cally Touring to go to Autozone to pick up three quarts of oil and a filter for a Honda project.  The store is about two miles from my house, 154 miles later I am home.  Perfect day, cool when I left this morning, the old leather jacket and sheep lined gloves felt great. Turned into a beautiful warm day and the oil, filter, and I had a damn nice ride.  Sometimes a spur of the moment jaunt turns into the best trip of all......

 Occasionally I need to ride into town for something at the hardware store or parts house which are 10 miles away, seems to take the better part of 2 to 3 hours for some reason.  I feel your pain :evil:

Whenever I do that, I usually forget to get the oil & filter (or whatever the supposed reason was for the trip) and have to make a another trip...  then sometimes another....

Glad to hear you had a good ride.

Where'd you go?   South and west I suspect; I know those roads from way back.   Still some nice roads despite the massive development ....

Down Rt 3 through the back roads of the Northern Neck, up to Tappahannock, hit 360 over toward Richmond and picked old Rt. 1 back up.  Stopped at the Harley Dealership in Ashland for coffee and a look see, good coffee and not many folks looking.....Thought about Luray over the mountain, my favorite day trip, but it was a tad nippy early this morning.....

I Know what you mean Britman.

I have pleasant memories of 200 mile rides with my wife to get a cup of coffee. :coffee:  50 miles of that were on a nice twisty hill. :thumb:

Just wait for the weather.

Yesterday was 75 and perfect.  Today is 27 gale winds and spitting rain and snow.  It's coming.

Huh, missing time, yet, no where near the Bermuda Triangle.... No UFO's in sight...... no stories of being strapped to cold metal tables and being anally probed.....

Sounds like a good day!

Uhh, I've done that and didn't even get a T shirt. It wasn't particularly pleasant. MRI looking for prostate cancer. Fortunately, they finally found it.  :smiley:
