Left the Houston area Wednesday and had to take the long way around due to accidents and a cement truck that flipped and dumped a load on the interstate. I had an Oil Cooler, new brakes, a mud flap to keep down the rocks up north and the fluids changed. The cooler works well, the brakes were definitely needed and the Red Line Transmission fluid has quieted the noisey transmission, especially 5th gear. KT's Cycle is a great place for service and to gain knowledge.
Thursday I had a long lunch with David Hobbick, a friend I had not seen since 1966 and dinner with my son, daughter in law and grand daughters, the oldest having her 16th Birthday.
This morning, we left about 7:40 and rode 11 1/2 hours through Texas hill Country and up into the high plains. Texas has had a bunch of rain and incredibly green, including light to heavy rain much of the 622 miles we covered today. One thing about Texas, miss a turn in the rain, and you can go along ways before you can regain your intended track. We added about 80 miles to our planned route today. A stop a a Walmart for a GPS should help. Good day today, cool weather and I stayed dry unlike my son who stripped rain gear this morning due to the heat. On to Colorado and hopefully camping in Wyoming tomorrow.
