Mid-South ride, eat, and meet

Usually, buying a replacement for something I can’t find results in the lost item showing up immediately!
Couldn’t find the key to the F800GS once. It was hiding in the seat lock.

Hiding in plain site. Maybe I’m not the only one that is a little befuddled. Smiling.

The other possibility is that you find it on a cold dreary day in January when you have no interest in the key.

One year at the Top Of Rockies rally a rider received word that he needed to return home ASAP due to a family emergency. He quickly packed up his stuff and then couldn't find the key to his K75. After some milling around we went to the PA system and announced that we needed a K75 or K100 key for an emergency and asked anybody with a spare key to come to rally central. Several people brought their spare keys. On the 4th or 5th try we found the needed key. After exchanging names and contact info the rider headed off for home with the promise to mail the key back as soon as he was home.

Once home after he got his stuff unpacked he found his lost key rolled up in his sleeping bag.

Back probably 20 years ago, attended the Alabama Chicken Rally (Rocket City). On that trip, I misplaced my glasses and I didn’t have my spare. The last day on Sunday, I quickly got my gear packed and headed home. I was near sighted. I could kinda deal with it in daylight, not at night. I’ve been my own worst enemy on different trips. Anyway I lived to tell the tale.

I’m almost over the Lebanon National. I’ll be 72 in about a month. Been sitting around the kitchen thinking about future nationals. I’m thinking that Arkansas should host it. Would like for it to happen while I’m still able to ride. Got my map of Arkansas out and decided that Russellville was the most optimal location. Easy access on I-40. Highway 7 runs thru it north and south. 7 is both a scenic hiway and binary. Russellville sits in the Arkansas River Vally full of mountains. Pinnacle Mountain, west of Little Rock, Petit Jean Mt. southwest of Morrilton, Mount Nebo, at Dardanelle, just west of Russellville; and Mount Magazine, Ar.’s highest peak at around 2700ft.
North of Russellville is the Boston Mountains and further north is the Ozark Plateau. South of Russellville is the Ouachita Mountains running east to west from Hot Springs into Oklahoma.

Time for a cigar break.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the good people of Texas due to the weather related to the flooding. Hopefully more of the victims will be found alive. God bless Ya’ll.

The weather here on the MidSouth had been a continuation of the weather at the National. Partly sunny then partly then monsoon rain.

GREEN is good. Tomorrow will be grass cutting time, if it don’t rain. Smiling
