Ike has so far pretty much passed us by, we haven’t gotten near the wind forcasted. The rain has been fairly light as well.

DK
hmmm, I wonder if you’re lucky getting out now, while you can. The real self just may not be all that wonderful.
You may be right, Dan. I think he’s got layers of pain that go back years and years that he hasn’t even started to deal with.
But it sure was fun riding on the bike with him…
{{{{{{{{{DK}}}}}}}}}
Shure choklit is enuf?
Maybe a martoonie?
Shur, thanks.
*Sluuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrpppppppppp*

A Yahama 250. As a teenager in Africa he had a beautiful BSA.
wow, that’s kinda….small. but then, I’m 6’2 200 lbs (more or less). So I need a larger bike than that. Just to carry my carcass
Small but fun! (And I’m 5’10).
Leeza, where’s taht damn martoonie?!?!?!
I loved my old bike, but was too tall for it, and the gas tank was too small for my commute. Vulcan 750.
I thought riding the bike was a yoofemism.
*hands DK anudder martoonie*
lemme get to a scanner and I can upload a pic of me, little blue, and Rufus the Excitable Attack Squirrel, onna road trip from D/FW to Harrisburg PA.

Hai Dan. U haz story fur us?? I finkso, dere b wun oar 2 uzzerz here.
Okey dokey.
Whilst on tour, the company manager got a taste for “Talk O’ Texas Hot Pickled Okra” while traveling through the state and visiting my family. She could not get this in Harrisburg PA where she was currently working. So I endeavored to “smuggle” six jars of same from Granbury (35 miles SW of Fort Worth) to Harrisburg.
I put the first part in, where is it?
uhh, campfire?
wp b hungry 2nite?
nomming deh commintz?
Well, here we go……again.
While on tour with that childrens theatre. At thanksgiving, which some of us spent at my folks house, the company manager developed a taste for “Talk O’ Texas” hot pickled okra. Something not available in Harrisburg PA where she was at that time employed. So, I decided to “smuggle” six jars of same to her.
ooooo…..smuggling….Dan b wun uv dem danjerus guise. I lubz deh Danjerus Dan!
As she is the closest I’ll probably ever come to being married. Loved her from the start, and probably always will. It was about more than delivering the okra. She is also an ace resume builder. So, the three objectives 1.) Deliver the Okra, 2.) Work on Resume, 3.) salvage relationship.
.
This was to be the first road-trip on the scooter (cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/kawasaki-vulcan-750_W0QQitemZ200253615471QQihZ010QQcategoryZ50020QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting) so I packed what I could and headed out.
*Handz Dan a pees uv cheezecake.
*fergitz 2 menshun deh rum in sed cheezecake.
Got the first serious scare about Memphis when a semi-dump truck blew a tire. Right beside me this happened. I about come unglued. Must of been something to behold. I can tell this by the reaction of the Dump Truck driver behind the one who blew a tire. He was laughing uproarously into the CB mike.
Second scare in Nashville a semi kicked up a 12″ square ceramic tile, right at me. I kicked it down or it would’ve broken my lower leg. Probably dumping me into heavy traffic.
made good time, at least until refueling somewhere in Tennessee, when I had to explain to Discover Card that Yes I am on a trip, and Yes I have the card, and No, I haven’t been knocked in the head and had my card stolen.
.
Then I had to take a nap just past Knoxville.
.
*Wunderz if Dan will survive?!?!?!!?!
*nomz moar popkorn.
Woke up from the short nap feeling alright. So I girded my loins, if you will, and hit the road to tackle the next leg. Virginia.
‘puter bwok, had to kill, I means fix it
waiting…
*wonderz too*
R U shur dis b a pg-13 storee??
not 45 min. into it I feel the sleep coming over me like a tidal wave. I can feel my eyelids getting heavier, heavier, and HEAVIER. As lead weights are attached to my eyelashes.
The exits are few and far between on that Interstate highway. I see the sign for an exit. Traffic is in the way. I gun it to get around, past, through to make the exit.
I am moving at a good clip, cresting a small hill, and suddenly…….THERE IT IS…RIGHT THERE. Now fatigue can seriously degrade your thought processes. I see the sign for the exit. I start to dive for it. Then I see the sign warning for 35 mph. I have less that 1/2 second to decide.
.
I go for it.
noms popcorns harder.
I cant luk!!!
I dive deep into the increasingly sharp corner. If I hit the brakes, I skid, go straight into the hill, and my family has to come to VA and retrieve a mangled and probably burnt, body. The yellow line is getting closer. On the other side of the yellow line are “marbles” (pieces of tire, rocks, gravel). I hit that, same result as hitting the brakes. So I lean in harder than I ever have before, and pray the Pirelli tires hold.
bites finger nom’ing popcorn
The tires hold, I pull into a gas station barely able to stay awake long enough to back into the shade and shut down the bike.
.
I sleep considerably longer this time.
*peekz owt b’tween finnurz.
Oh Noez!!!
Leen, Dan, Leen!!!!!
(camed in during kommurshul braek on “samurai Jack” an hadda seewut happens in dan’s storee!)
I have learned an important lesson. A lesson with a leathally steep learning curve.
*Handz LM a bowl uv popkorn.
After nearly killing myself twice. The rest of the trip to Harrisburg was relatively uneventful. With the exception of riding through the same rain storm twice.
.
Punched through the storm, the first time. Time for a fuel stop, put the liner in my jacket, and check my cel phone.
.
By the time I accomplished this, the storm caught and passed me. So, I got to enjoy the cold rain….again.
I shur hope she appresheeated deh okra.
.
{{Dan}}
wow! nice storee dan!!
u survived!!
*noms teh left adn abandoned popcorm*
I get to H’burg at Ungodly in the AM. I’m not gonna wake her up at 3 inna morning. I wait at a 24 hr restaurant and read till dawn. About dawn:30 I park outside her apt.

She knows I coming, but not exactly when. As she exits her door she has a post-it note in her hand. The note is for me telling me where she’ll be later. She sees me sitting on the bike. She sticks the note on my chest.

i had been awake but waz lurking fur a while until i saw dis storee!!
We visit, (she eats some okra), we work on resume (she eats some okra), she is also an ace stage manager. She’s SM-ing the shakespere festival and there is a rehearsal that night. I go along and end up helping the director with a problem actor. The actor has focus issues without an audience there.
.
The rehearsal is over, and some of the folks are going to a bar for a drink after rehearsal. Something I’ve never done. I just don’t go out with strangers to…..well I rarely go out at all. Anyway, she-the woman of my dreams-M lets say for brevitys sake, has a splitting headache. M goes home, gives me the key and I go the bar.

no it keeps eating my entries.
let’s try this for the third time.
We visit, she has some Okra. We work on the resume, she has some Okra. I have an interview at where she works. I blow it. She has some Okra.
.
She, the light of my life, lets call her M for the sake of brevity, is also an ace Stage Manager. M teaches others how to be Stage Managers. M is also SM-ing a production for the Shakespere festival. I go along to a rehearsal and end up helping the director with an actor problem. After rehearsal some of the peeps go to a bar for drinks. This is something I never did and rarely do now. I guess I’m just not that comfortable with groups of people I don’t know. M has a splitting headache, M goes home, gives me the keys, I go to the bar.
oh for the love all that is holy.
.

Stage Manager, Technical Director, Lighting designer-tech-operator, Effects operator, Sound operator, Carpenter, Props artisan, Costumer, and Truck Driver.
The director asks “Are you working right now?”
No
Really? Can I have your information?
*I give ‘im a copy of the partially completed resume* Sure, here ya go.
.
A day or so passes and her phone rings. There are messages at home and at work.
It is the people from The Lost Colony.
LC When can you be here?
SHD ummm *thinks about logistics* it’s tuesday morning….soooo….saturday.
LC Where are you?

LC Can’t you come here from there?

LC Oh, okay…..well as soon as you can.

*paws crossed*
I call my dad and have him put my truck int he shop to fix a fuel leak, and make it a rush job, ride 1,450 odd miles to TX, round up gear, load it and motorcycle in truck, scoot booty for North Carolina..another 1,450 miles or so, buying tools and supplies I could’nt find at home.
.
I get there, saturday afternoon.
.
Make contacts working with folk there. “Dude, there is SO much work in NY for what you can do.”
For Real?
Yep.
Cool.
.
So I ended up moving to NY and working for about a year and a half. Then the Towers fell.
ohh…. teh tragic ebents ob 9/11…
didja see it real time?
oddly enough…..no. I had a gig at the armory in south Manhattan that morning about 11 am. This was fashion week and the lighting had to be changed for the next fashion show being held there. I hadn’t turned on the TV, the voice-mail on my phone went off, but I couldn’t access it for some reason (little did I know at the time), I assumed it was further issues with that dratted thing. With where my apt. was in Brooklyn fire, ambulance, and police sirens are just background noise by this time.
I had no idea something was wrong till I tried to get on the subway and was told “No Manhattan bound trains anywhere”, then the clerk told me why.
annyhooo, I can trace all this back to………..six jars of hot pickled okra.
ohhh….
i still remember i was on teh sofa, relaxing when i saw teh 9/11 event. At furst, i thought it waz a drama but then i got to know taht it really happened…
you were what?….six? man, I can’t remember hardly anything from that young.
well, ya, i waz 6 but i remember mah memorys eben when i was 4 or 5!!
dey am teh best tiem of teh life!!
not me, but then that was the late 60′s early 70′s. there are some good reasons to forget.
ohhh… teh age factor i suppose…
taht iz also maeking a person forgetful….
I thought people had memorie lapses from teh sixties for… other reasons. I forget what.
Guess the hot pickled okra did not werk?
{{{Dan}}}
