Rainy day blues and a beast

OK, here's a report on the Luckenback Harvest Classic show from last month; SWMBO and myself went to Fredricksburg on Friday and played tourist while most of the tourists weren't there and it was nice without the crowded stores and sidewalks. After spending the night there, we got up to find it was raining. We went to eat to form a game plan just in case and then headed out to Luckenback. There's a large field behind the dance hall for parking and there weren't that many vehicles of the four wheeled variety parked there so that was a clue for things to come. While SWMBO was changing from sandals to sneakers, I trudged across the field to the entrance to see if it was a go or not. Trudged was appropriate as there was straw covering some of the ruts and holes where puddles had formed. Asked one guy the status and he says its still on, vendors and other things had been moved inside the dance hall out of the weather. Went back to the truck to let the other half know and we decided that it was pretty much a wash out. And in case you're wondering, yes I did say truck. SWMBO doesn't ride on MCs and tolerates mine, plus we had plans to do a little more travelling that day, which we did. So, we headed out to our other destination which when we arrived was in progress, but due to the weather wasn't as active as the organizers had wanted. Admittance to this event, a wine and food thing, was $40/head! yeas that's right $4)/head to sample wine, nibble on food and whatever in cold damp conditions, in a small country town. Ugh, that's OK, maybe next year if it's dry. So no pictures were taken I'm afraid as a wet empty event isn't too photogenic but we still had a good time. But there are some pictures of the beast as requested by Harry Larry:

Has it been that long???

Wowsers!!!! Can't believe it's been over a year since any postings on here. Time flies and all that. The OIF A65T came in and a fine beast it is too! Had to get used to right-hand shifting, left foot braking again and using the leg to start instead of a button but it's been worth it. Tomorrow, SWMBO and myself will be heading out of town to one of our favorite places to play tourist BEFORE the tourist get there and then to Luckenbach on Saturday for the annual MC show there. Pics will be taken and posted. And the big news from the hot box that is south Tex-ass is that it's finally cooled down....now if it'll get into the 40s-50s I'll be even happier. Well, enough drivel for tonight, things need to be done before tomorrow so time to toodle off.
