KMG_365 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I'm certainly getting excited! I've been working 80+ hour weeks for months and more is in the future until I leave (and even more when I get back). I NEED this UnRally like oxygen. Where's PaperButt's infectious giggling?? I need some help here, girl! Can't you find someone to house sit for you?? Am I the ONLY one getting EXCITED here?!?!?!?!?!??????? Link to comment
tallman Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Next thing you know he'll be riding a motorcycle. I'm past excited and we don't leave for a week. After some medical stuff and calendar changes led to cancelling the last two, I'm sighched. Link to comment
Paul Mihalka Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Well, over the weekend the bike got new tires and a oil/filter change, bike runs so well it's almost scary (now I did it). This morning I packed one saddlebag with stuff, tools, electric jacket (don't leave home without it). Oh, but I'm not excited, no way... As done before, this Saturday come to work all packed. Sneack out in the afternoon, first stop Youngstown, OH. Note: This thread could be merged with "Let's roll!" Link to comment
Kitsap Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I'm ready! Lets go! Change of plans, my baby brother decides it's that time of his life to get married. So July 9th will find me in the Mesa area instead of a nice ride down the coast; He's a good kid and worth it, besides I don't want to be forgotten in my parents will Now I have to figure out a different route to Topaz on Sat/Sun and not melt my lily white Pacific NW @ss in the process . I'm looking forward to seeing some old friends and making some new ones. Link to comment
Endobob Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I'm certainly getting excited! I've been working 80+ hour weeks for months and more is in the future until I leave (and even more when I get back). I NEED this UnRally like oxygen. I too have been working 12+ hour days and then staying up late planning routes, packing, dreaming, etc. I "need" to get on the motorcycle to meditate, relax and recharge! See you all soon.

HandyAndy Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I'm so excited that I'm going to play hookie from work so I can leave this Sat instead of Tuesday. I have no idea of what route I am going to take, was hoping to join a pied piper run but one never materialized! Guess I will let my daughter navigate and see where we end up! Andy. Link to comment

marcopolo Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Question, should we wash the new champagne flutes before we leave, or after arriving? Liftoff for me and LRider is first light Tuesday the 6th: Day 1 -- Medina OH (aka Cleveland); Day 2 -- St. Charles MO (aka St. Louis); Day 3 -- Hays KS (aka, umm Hays, Kansas); Day 4 -- Grand Junction CO; Day 5 -- Ely NV; Day 6 -- Topaz Lake. Would someone please fluff my pillow before I get there? Link to comment

Sorry I didn't post here, although did elsewhere in my confusion. I found a house, unexpectedly, 3 weeks ago and I am closing tomorrow. Therefore, instead of riding I'll be cleaning walls, priming and painting. Moving in around the 3rd weekend in July, if I get everything ready. The timing couldn't be worse...but it is a house...and if you know me that means only ONE THING... THERE IS GOING TO BE A DOGGIE IN THE PB HOUSEHOLD VERY SOON I'll be thinking of you all and missing you all terribly. I have a stand-in to take my place as an UN greeter You won't be able to miss him Link to comment
Nice n Easy Rider Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Kathy, I'm sure you'll post pics of any new doggie as soon as they join the family so we'll all be looking forward to them.

hANNAbONE Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 yA kNOW I was wondering about the "Excited Chatter Thread" just yesterday...I guess I shoulda posted something. Aw well - good on ya for getting me up and ready. Big fam reunion around Branson, MO this weekend. Trying to get that figured in...along with all the stuff I still need to pack. My PhysTherapist thinks I should be the poster boy for their shop - I've come soooo far from when I stepped in 3 wks ago/6 total sessions. Like so good they are releasing me as of my 6th session today...but an untimely low back accident just 2 days ago have me wondering if it all went down the drain. We'll know more after today. As for right now - I'm STOKED.! I cannot wait to see/talk to all of you and even with the PButt no show - we'll AT LEAST have a beer or two. Okay - no where is that collapsible cooler...?
