I request, nay *require*, tons of DU good thoughts! |
|
...For tomorrow I embark on DingbatQuest '06. :D
I leave first thing in the morning, riding along with a trailer full of beef jerky, to beautiful downtown Denver, Colorado. WHERE I SHALL:
- Be DROPPED OFF in the middle of the city with duffel bags and a mess of cash; - WANDER to a near-stranger's house and exchange said cash for motorcycle; - DRIVE said motorcycle, twice as big as anything I've ever ridden, across town at night and in traffic; - FIND the home of my Denver Date (!), park motorcycle and go to dinner; - PLAY by ear the rest of my weekend. :evilgrin: - RIDE motorcycle back home, some six hours and change, across mountain passes and trying to avoid weather.
Whether a cloud being, FSM or the toaster, please pray to whatever's appropriate this all goes as well as I think it will. :bounce:

Why do I hear Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild" in my head? :D

7. Is your date cooking at her place? |
|
Or are you driving her to dinner on the bike? Just asking so I can target my bad weather repelling thoughts at times when you will most likely be on the bike. No guarantee on the mountain passes, but weather.com's national radar bodes well for you overall.

8. No, no, we're going out |
|
The plan is to put the bike in her garage, then I'm at her mercy, driving-wise. She's just a stone's throw from my hotel.
Looks like I need to make my escape Saturday, NWS portends indicate snow Sunday. :D

9. I hope she's not one of those mad-crazy Denver drivers. |
|
Then you could be risking your life if she takes you on I-25. We always blamed the influx of Californians for the crazy drivers and the crazy real estate prices, but that was just us denying that we came from the home of crazy drivers and crazy real estate--Boston.

13. You may have all of my spare 'good thoughts'... |

The rest are reserved for the upcoming Congressional Elections.
