Today was a slow news day. My son Tucker is doing an internship for his NC State degree in Dunwoody just north of Atlanta. So I split off from the group and had lunch with him. His internship just ended so he is headed east to home tomorrow while I continue west.
Things I Learned Today
- I am riding with a great group of people. There is not a single butthead in the group and there is always a butthead. If I can't find the butthead does that mean it is me and no has told me?
- Socks washed with soap in a hotel sink will not dry in front of an AC unit that kicks on and off during the night.
- Ironing wet socks will not dry them.
- A Gold Wing traveling at 80 MPH with a quartering wind still has a lot of life left in her.
- A Gold Wing traveling at 80 MPH with a quartering wind will ruin your antenna flag if it is hitting a patch of Velcro on your luggage on the back.
- A Gold Wing traveling at 80 MPH with a quartering wind will dry wet socks attached to the luggage rack.
Dinner tonight was at the Irondale Cafe. I found out tonight that they are not normally open for dinner. They open every year for dinner for the 40 to Phoenix crowd.
