Radar, schmadar!! The show must go on!!! I had to ride in a little drizzle on the way to work friday morning , then ride straight from work to Cooper Lake where my men's bible study group was camping. I got there a little late since I had to work half of second shift (got off at 6 P.M.) but they saved me some ribs, chicken, baked potato, zuchini and mushrooms from the smoker. Needless to say we had a roaring campfire going at all times!! Did I mention it was WINDY? :shock: :P

You just need a Dr note 8) is there a Dr in the House??
To Whom it may Concern,
Kale Tifft is under my care. He will not be able to come back to work until 3/9/09. He is due some rest and relaxation time for his recent surgery. I am recommending a motorcycle ride to Pittsburg Texas and lunch with the best bunch of guys and gals on the planet. Then on into Tyler.
Dr. C. MOOT
Take this in this should work. :smile:
