LIFE IS GOOD!!!

Ready to Get this Ride Started
We left Colorado on the 21st, the trip to Texas went smooth. Nice weather, good roads and no mishaps. Corpus Christ was great!! $2.00/dozen oysters at Snoopy's on North Padre Island, fun beaches, good bands and wonderful people. We are in Houston today. Changed out the plugs on my bike and got an extra key made. Repacked for the third time.

Always Repacking
I definintely will not be styling it on this trip. Tomorrow Kim is traveling back to Colorado, Louie is going to visit friends in Wimberly, and I am going to make the trail ride on horseback from Corpus Christi to San Antonio to kick off the stock show. Hopefully will have a couple of pictures to upload next week. Have taken quite a few, but am still getting used to the Sony CD500 and am not sure about finalizing my disc.
