50% chance of rain, when I leave home on Saturday. Looks like I suit up. Only good thing is weather is usually completely different between here and Boscobel. As long as I don't get my hat wet....

They are saying 50%......either it is or it isn't!  Wonder how much they get paid for the forcast  I think it is a job I could handle!

Great! Thanks a lot Digger!!  We are jinxed now!!! 
Patch and I are heading North to Tybme's this afternoon at 4 pm to meet up with Cloud 9 and Tybme. We will head out first thing in the morning for Boscobel but I'm not too worried about the rain as we have learned that we don't melt, just float!!

Well seeing that Digger and I are the only ones from the area...
Digger is going to lead the Wings on the cruise and I'm going to lead the Marks...
You can't believe how torn I am because I love driving both so much.
Right now I have nobody from my Lincoln's group who I could hand over the cruise. Need to find someone from that site who is closers and knows the area...
Good thing I have Digger... We are going to run the route in opposite directions to avoid a long line and meet up in Lansing IA

Mespock - would you mind posting a route map? I want to see if we are going to cover any of my old stomping grounds.

I have a hard time doing it as everytime I try to post a route I get emotions in the link and it fails.
We'll be going through Millville, Prairie Du Chien, Harpers Ferry, Lansing, Ferryville, Stuben... Does that help?

I'm out, and I'm sorry..
I got a call last night that my job for next week in Pine Bluff, AR has been moved forward, and now I'm flying out of O'hare at 7am on Sunday.. I was flying on Tuesday, so now I get to spend Saturday at work, rounding up my optics and tools for this job.
Sorry, and hope everyone has a safe, and great time!!

Nope.. I went back to my old job 6 months ago, working on paper machines. This is an old board mill, just outside of Pine Bluff, AR..
Nobody seems happy about the fact that my and my helpers's plane tickets went from $300 to $1200 because of the change.
I'm not happy because I'm typing this at my desk on a Saturday morning.. So much for taking vacation.

Ok, first my pictures suck......that said
Left to right, Devans, Devansgirl right behind him, Nightwing83 and his wife right behind him, Axisman1 and BlackGw behind him, and Da' Boss.
Girls took a lot better pictures. You'll have to wait for them.
After owning my bike for 1 1/2 years, Nightwing 83 pointed out I have a 12 volt socket on the right right side of the dash.......never saw it before. He looks at it for 5 minutes and asked me why I don't use it.
Donna did indeed, model the furkini, the pole dance at the hotel was an added benefit......all after a couple of glasses of wine...go figure. I do have pictures. sorry some of you missed it.
The longer I wore that stupid hat, the dumber I got. My excuse for anything I, may have done wrong.
Sounds like the guys from Kansas had a bad time. Never did meet any of them....
All in all, a great ride and time spent with good people.

Made it home fine. Had a great time. Good riding, and a great bunch of people.
Thanks to Mespock for putting it all together.
Already looking forward to next year.
