Austin Texas

You ever have an image of something and until you see it, don’t believe otherwise? well that’s exactly what happened to me with Texas. Always thought it was desolate and nothing but desert and cactus and hot – well, it is hot, but this is actually a beautiful state to visit. You can see by many of the pictures of the land that along the river and lakes it’s quite a place to see and again, those hot Texas women. I finally found where you meet and see them all, ya gotta go shopping. The first two were Kendra and Bonnie at the Austin Harley shop…you know you could’ve sold me what’s gonna be a collector shirt someday for less than actual cost, the rest will probably go on sale – how’bout sending me the difference when they do go on sale? Anyway, thanks for the offer to go tubing with you tomorrow, but I must be moving on…hey wait a minute, what am I thinking, hot Texas women and an offer to party with them…ya never know, you might get a call from me in the morning.

And that leads me to the next two, Denise and Tiffany at the Gruene Outfitters who sold me a swimsuit. It was something I forgot to pack and even if I don’t go tubing, sure will need one along the way. Only problem, they weren’t modeling, but hey, I got to model it for them. Also found out just how small a world this really is. Denise grew up in Coon Rapids, well ok only her first 9 years, but hey here mom is from Bemidji and she knows what curling is…ain’t that something – curling…still more fun than bowling Denise.

The next two, Kim and JoJo sold us beers at one of the stops seeing the sites and I guess if we would have bought a couple more beers, would’ve gotten a massage from Kim. Well, both of you could’ve given me a massage, remember I’ve been on the road for days and JoJo, for it being your first day you were doing great.

Ok, now to some of the other interesting connections and even some from yesterday which I failed to mention. If you’ll notice from the Alamo pictures, Dick’s bar, hey that reminds me of Dick’s in Hudson, both fun places to party. The other was my Minnesota connection both yesterday and today, riding on I35…only this on the Texas end of things. One other is the river ride we rode along is Texas’ version of the Apple River in Somerset Wiscony, a lot of people tubing and partying and you’ll notice some of the places just getting prepared for what’s gonna be a hell of a weekend, Memorial weekend.

Now to some more of the day and where it took us after the Harley shop, just follow along with the pictures. It was a water fall, don’t remember what town, but there was college women and hey, another warning sign…you bet, another one of those signs that I’ll definitely heed the warning, well, in this case I had to cuz didn’t want to get arrested for indecent exposure…now wouldn’t that make a difference on who saw and whether they thought it decent or not? We eventually made it back to Gruene and after having lunch at Adobe Verdi and Bobby being able to join us…remember, my Cozumel connection and New Braunfels the day before, sorry I missed you both days Amanda, but hope all is going well. Now on to the river ride and although I got a picture of the two in the water, didn’t jump in to get their names, even though I had just bought a suit. my bad. Catch that ugly duck or whatever and do you think we can believe the ladies in the bar that it’s a cross between a rooster, duck and goose, well is sure looks like it. That took us to a custom cycle shop in Austin which not only builds bikes, but also works on Cobra’s, ok, Cobra knockoffs, but they look pretty cool. Finally the rest of the trip was thru the hills around Austin and you can see there are some pretty neat sites to see. Didn’t make it down to the water, but got to go thru the exclusive part of town to see the view that they have…hey, saw there was 5.6 acres available in those hills, only cost a million bucks – too rich for my blood. Probably missed something, but the pictures do speak words and again, thanks to Kim and Kirk for not only showing me what more Texas has to offer, but letting me stay another night. Let’s see what I decide to do in the morning, ride on or use my new suit.
