WE LIKE BEING DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS - LET'S CALL HER!
THURSDAY! It's Friday Eve so that means it's the weekend! We rode out of Midland, Texas this morning a little later than usual, but that's because it's "short ride" day (and normally length matters, but not today). Midland is the boyhood home of former president George W. Bush - which should pretty much tell you all you need to know about their public school system. Its an "oil-town," so while it may smell ike sulphur all the time, at least the sky is black with refinery smoke. Anyway, today was just a short 150 mile day which was really needed after riding 1,500 miles over the last three days.
Our first stop this morning was a publicity appearance at Big Spring Harley-Davidson in (where else?) Big Spring, Texas. They were all prepared for us and had laid out quite a buffet spread for the crowd that included fresh made Tang (don't laugh, astronauts drink it!) and plenty of Little Debbie cakes. You know they were fresh because they were still in their cellophane wrappers! Big Spring Harley-Davidson is the oldest dealership in the state of Texas (or so they say) and it was our honor to speak to the crowd of seven (including the two mechanics and the sales manager) that showed up. Afterward we autographed some guy's pickup truck fender with a Magic Marker and headed down the road.
Our final stop for the day is San Angelo, which is literally in the center of the state. The b_tch at the motel where we were supposed to have a comp'd room wanted a $50 dollar "energy surcharge" in cash, so we basically told her, "surcharge this!" and rode around town until we found a much better situation. We got a room at the Best Western with no f'ing energy surcharge and the people here are REAL nice! But the absolute bonus is that right in the parking lot is a Texas Roadhouse! We know they have a limit of only one pitcher of beer per person per table per night, so our plan is after the first two we'll just change tables. Believe us when we tell ya, "we've done this before"...
This was across the street from out motel in Midland, TX! They say it's the oldest - and believe them!
They gave Stacy a free shirt - "Texas size!" 4XXXXL! Guess which one of the 3,000 was our first motel clerk?

I've been to that Harley dealership. Does Susan still work there? FYI: They always have Litle Debbie cakes, so you're nothing special.

You guys say you're going to the Texas Roadhouse, but I think that's a lie. They have a dress code and Kevin's dresses will never pass.
just sayin...
