Ride to the Ranchito: Thurs 1/19--Sun 1/22 We've got a number of out-of-towners promising to attend, many of whom are well-known on BWB, coming from Kilgore, Tx and points North. All you Houston-Austin-San Antonio folks oughta try to make it. I'm thinking the big feed would best be held on Saturday 1/21. I know at least one attendee is planning to travel to Dallas the following Monday for the 2nd annual BBQ blow-out with Blake, DaveS, Clown, and probably Erik hisownself like last year. PM me via my profile if you're planning to make it, so I can plan food and stuff. Most of you Houston guys already know the way, but if you need directions, let me know. rt | ||

....and Scotch. ....and okra! This is coming together nicely! Roadrunr: if it won't run, just throw Shannon and the little runrs in the truck and come on! rt | ||
| Bomber |
well, I spose if there's enuff Scotch, Okra pie might be OK . . . . . . . . . | ||
| Blake |
What kind of spirit would you get from fermented and distilled okra I wonder? | ||
| Roadrunr |
an okraholic beverage might be pretty nasty!  ... I'll jis stick with my rum-n-coke. | ||

Thanks RT for keeping everyone informed! Are you able to make it again this year? Dinner on Monday, January 23 is at Up-N-Smoke BBQ in Keller (just north of DFW). We're eating at 7pm, but several DFW Buellers will be there for libations and bench racing (lies, all lies) at 6:30. Word has it that several "famous" Buell factory types may show their faces (they did last year and surprised us all!). See the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex Buellers for more details and to RSVP. Y'all come! | ||

Chris: Not this year. I expect to be recuperating from the Ride to the Ranchito! rt | ||

Huge thanks to Road Thing and his wife for their hospitality- y'all are awesome hosts! I had a great time, and will post some photos later. HellbuellyJ and I made it through the cold rain without problems. I made it home a little before 3 PM!! Believe it or not, the rain didn't bother me that much, it spiced up the trip home on boring 290. It was great meeting all of y'all. Thanks again | ||

Thanks to everybody for coming! And thanks especially to Hootowl for the most excellent homebrew beer, to Philip for the pies and the sausage, to Jay for the T-shirt and the distilled spirits and for bringing the demo Uly and 9 other new friends from Austin! Philip, I'm glad Kathy is feeling OK. It seems ironic that, at a gathering of motorcycle hoodlums featuring mucho cerveza, a brand new Uly and the Super_moto_thing to ride in the dirt, that the only injury would come from from driving a 4-wheeler with a roll cage through the woods! I'll get back to you on repairs, Jeff and I bent the bumper back off the tire this morning and looked it over. I don't think it's gonna be too bad. Lotsa pix to sort through, but here's one to start on...  Kinda says it all, I think... rt | ||

Chadley: Glad the ride home went OK, it seemed pretty damn cold to me (but I'm a notorious p**sy when it comes to riding in the cold /wet). At least you were well insulated!  rt | ||
| Roadrunr |
HA, I knew there was no way I could have drank all that rum by myself. Blakes busted. Kinda like a kid in a candy store that one was. | ||
| Roadrunr |
Hey thang what program do you use to re-size your pictures? I can't get irfanview to work that well. Quality really sucks after re-sizing. | ||
| Road_thing |
Billybob_runr: go to XAT.com and download their trial program. I use it at the office with good results. At home I use the editing software that came with my Nikon camera. rt | ||
