Meeting you – Meeting me
… or should that be Meeting you – Stalking me? I had the distinct and unexpected pleasure of meeting RevRick this morning.
Upon exiting our hotel in Nashville and heading to our bikes to load up for the ride home I noticed a gentleman standing near our bikes. That’s not unusual because people are always giving them the once-over. I can’t remember exactly what he said but it was something like “Nice bikes, Jonco” or something similar with my name after it. It took me about a second and a half to realize this guy knew who I was. Then it dawned on me that it was probably (hopefully) a B&P reader than knew I was there. And I was right. Rev Rick introduced himself. I think he said he worked not too far from our hotel and just wanted to stop by and meet me. (He didn’t ask for my autograph though. What’s up with that?)
We had a brief but nice conversation before he excused himself and left. (My security staff was nowhere to be found. I’ll have a talk with them about this.) 🙂
Oh, and Rev… the voices aren’t just in your head. I heard them too.
I’m still in Nashville, so you’re on your own today. 
Drunk Blogging in Nashville
OK, we made it ti Nashville… which I spelled Nasvulle in the earlier poost and no one corrcted. You’re all fired! ( I corrected it nolw)
NotE: I’m, not re-readibg and correwct typint mistakes) (OH siht.. I just re-read that last sentence. [I lied… but I din’t corect it…so I half lied.]
What a day! The forevcast appeared to say we’d make it here between storms. Thqt lieing sack of shit. It rain 7 of the 8 hours we were on the road. 8 frigging hours to get here. Every time we stopped it would stop rainnibng. Then as soon as we got back on the bikes it would start raining again.
About 45 minutes into the trip it starte d to rain, so we pulled under an overpass and put on raingear/ Well, dumshit that I am I forgot to close the latch on the truck thingy on my bike. Abpout 20 minute later I fet the bike lurch to the left.. . kind of blowing me into another lane. Then a few secons later it did it again, It eas kind of windy, but not THAT windy. Then in my rear-view mirrow I saw this big black thing that’s not normally there. Either I had picked up a gorilla or I had a problem… eiyther way it’s probably a problem/ Thr trunk lid had been blown up and open by the wind. Out went (unbeknownst to me) my $50 Harley shirt (the only long sleebves I brought) which also had my reading glasses in the pocket….. 2 baseball type caps… and one ogf my shoes that I had packed (extra pair). By the time I noticvd it the afore mentioned items were long gone.
Any body want a good deal on one shoe… size 13?
I pulled over and closed the lid (after sone work to re-adjust the latching mechanism)…. in the rain. I still don’t know if that’s all that flew out.
So on we went/ We stopped in Paducah Kentucky for gas and lunch at Arbys;
Of course it stopped raining while we were eating. Then we got back on thr bikes and the rain returned anew.
We finnally got to Nashville and our hotel just south of downtown (In somethnig called Music Row). As I was pulling off my rainsuit in my hotel room, I realized I didn’t have my cell phone. Just them my wife’s cell phone rang. It was her sister. Someone from the Arby’s in Paducah called her (found her number in my phone) saying they found my cell phone. I’ll pick it up on the way back thru Paducah tomorrow,
We changed clothes and went for a walk to find somethnig to eat. We ended up at McSomethingorother’s Irish Pub where we had a really good meal… or maybe we were just really hungry. They had Scotch Eggs (which I’ve posted about previously… and I HAD to try)on the menu…. so I HAD to try them. Not bad. It helps to have had several beers to wash them down.
We also had fried pickles too.
Then after several beers at the Irish Pub, we waddled back to our hotle and went to the lounge because we had $1 beer discount coupons to spend. We had a couple drinks there as we watched a nice young lady sing country songs. I didn’t catch her name because someone at my table was talkint tooo much.
We returned to our room at 8:40 pm, but it feels like 3 am to me.
Tomorrow we’re off to visit the Opryland hotel before heading home. The forecast is for rain all the way home. I hope they’re as wrong about that as they were about todays forecast. Tomorrow will be a better day… hopefully.
Nite all!
Heading to Nashville Tennessee
We’re off on a ride to Nashville Tennessee this weekend. Nashville is a little over 300 miles from here. Riding time is 5–6 hours in good weather. We might miss the rain going down there, but I think we’re going to get wet coming home tomorrow.
Open Mic Saturday.
Talk about whatever you want today.
Winmail.dat file opener
I get quite a few emails that I can’t open. Some are in a winmail.dat file format. I just found an online .dat file opener. You just save the .dat file to your desktop. Then upload it to Winmaildat.com and it displays the contents. It worked perfectly on the one I tried.
You can look forward to more crazy stuff from That Gene Guy now. A good number of the files he sends me can’t be opened, so I just delete them. Hopefully this will fix that problem.
