Sleeping in the Nursing home was OK until in the middle of the night I woke up and saw the curtain tracks on the roof. In combination with David snoring it gave me flash backs to the being in NIH and sharing a room with people. I then had recurring dreams of Nurses and Dave getting up to tranfer stuff to my bike.
Some of the flooded river.
We left and biked down the west side of IL and it was a little hilly requireing me to get off the bike several times and walk up the steepest parts. On the plus sides going down we hit 33 plus a on several making thee ride much faster. When my bike hits 33 the helmet floats off my head and I start to get nervous, this results in me pumping the brakes. Dave never passes me that is how I know it is not Andy I am riding with as he would zip right on pass and be gone before I saw hey whats up.
On the steeper slopes Dave has developed a new game, bowling with nuts for a nut. What he does is rush to the top of the hill and finds black walnuts. Then the rolls them down the hill and tries to hit me or my bike. A strike is a direct hit worth 2 points and spares are glancing hits worth 1 point and a miss is minus one. For those interested in the score is currently up plus 5. I am just happy he is not throwing the nuts directly at me.
In Brussels we found a small little bakeshop called Bliss. They had a sign claiming homemade icecream. So we stopped to try sample. I had a small pint of butterfinger, Dave went with chocolate chip mint but appearently he did not like it much and had a second pint of vanalla and it disappeared very quickly. I saw him considering a third pint and eyeing the pumpkin pie. (I had to wipe the drool off the displace case)
Also for those who are interested in just how crazy I am about camping we asked the host here in the park just north of Graffton IL if he had to make the choice we needed to yesterday, camping at the Demolation Derby or riding on to an uncertain future which he would choose. He voted with David, I am hopeing that Di sides with me on this or else I could loss standing as someone capable of selecting an acceptable campsite. Please send supporting votes for Allan in the comment section those voting for Dave please email me directly so they are not public.
OK beer can tally today, just so you know Bud and Natural Lite are very popular.
89 Bud Lite (I guess HERE WE GO is working well)
78 natural lite close but need a few more 6 pack sales
12 Bud full beers and a couple of Ultra
a 6 pack of coors lite
4 Bush Lite
few Keystones
weird stuff on the road
A wood clamp
A poor stray cat that followed us for a quarter mile while walking up a hill, (where is Keith Stone when you need him)
Thankful for Today
After all those dreams last night I am still thankful for the support that NIH provided during my stays there over the last couple of years. This is not to suggest that I liked it there just that I realize they did good work and I owe them, but if I never have spend another night in there I would be happy.
Love and kisses to all and good nigth to all
Allan and David
