Oh yeah, Friday I'm riding 200 miles to see one grandson play junior high school baseball and another play his opening high school football game. Saturday morning I'll ride back home to pick up the gf for the ride to Springfield which is only about 100 miles.
Pete, i will be there all weekend. it looks like the weather may actually hold out this time. i have tickets to sun and mon races. are you staying in town and going to both races or just 1?

Gotta big slam-dunk B-B-Q at the American Legion post a few miles from the house. Lotsa H-D family and plenty of good food with cold beverages to accent the eats.

Well... my plans were changed for me: Got to work Labor Day.

We're hoping to do the Eureka Springs/BBQ thing tomorrow IF the weather will cooperate.

Blast it.
