Almost time to DEPART for Springfield, MO

[murphybrown]

Oh I am soooooo :yes::yes::yes:...6 more nights...rise early....and GO GO GO...:clap::clap:. I am definitely in my drive me crazy mode...no issues with everything done at home...weeds killed, bathrooms cleaned, taxes paid, house checker organized, eating up all the perishable food, I know when I am close to LAUNCH time when I am "falling" over stacks of my personal stuff. Now folks this is not my "first rodeo" aka Spyder trip...but I still do it...want to take 5 x's more personal stuff then I need. Oh my...:banghead:..This morning all I did was add MORE to the stacks...just looked at week/10 day weather forecast. Have you seen it? AWESoME so different from past years....wow I know how to get to Spyderfest in sleet, freezing rain, 45 mph winds and just dang cold and wet....but what I'm seeing is LIKE .. bring it on. I am most excited to see friends face to face...love Spyderlovers, Facebook and phone but nothing like seeing and hugging. Oh yea and then just a little :yes: to see the new ryde. Ms Spyder has served me well and I have lots of pics for my memory bank. But a '14 AND trailer (then I can definitey take more STUFF)...:thumbup:...okay everyone have a great weekend. 41 degrees outside, but blue skies and promise of low 60's..pretty sure that means a "short" ride!!!! couple hundred miles should work!!:roflblack::roflblack:

I have 17 more nights and i am arriving 1 day early (the 29th)

Unless you are taking the loooooooong route to Missouri.

Good luck with whatever you are doing. :thumbup:

As I explained to Len & Lamont...I have enough Spyder knowledge to be dangerous. When I bought Ms Spyder, literally from a website and talking to dealer in Illinois, and she showed up in my driveway one Memorial Day weekend back in '10. I knew absolutely nothing about ryding or the machine. Now Len, Lamont and crew get the benefit of all my gained knowledge from folks like you and 70k miles of saddle time and my OCD!!!!:yikes: Figured that if they got me and the new one outfitted and out the door before the likes of you, normal arrivals, show up it would be verrrrrry helpful!!!! So, one of the benefits of retirement (I know, I know you are a newbie at this retirement stuff!!) is I can do it this way. AND this time I actually am going to shortest distance....still will allow the freedom to "smell the roses"...I just won't be doing the usual of ohhhh that road looks interesting!! See you in a few!!! :thumbup:

 

[murphybrown]

Nope Grandkids not there anymore

Karyl, be safe, enjoy the journey and looking forward to seeing you again at SF. Guess you'll be stopping in Omaha to see the "kids" again. Enjoy!!!!

Ahhhhh, the joys of retirement :yes:.............have a safe trip. See you in a couple of weeks at the PARTY :yes:

 

[joebryanjr]

This will be my 1st SpyderFest and I am almost as excited as you are. As I read you and other's posts retirement in a few years is looking better all the time. I have never actually looked forward to retirement, but I think my attitude is evolving!
