Darrell, it only seems like last week we were standing in the carpark of the " Big Steer restaurant", saying good bye!, I knew we had to walk back to the motel because if we got in the car with you two we would have to go home with you and stay! :lol:

, cant wait!!

I dunno, Chris,
Being a Texas boy, I have trouble reconciling " Kansas Chicken Fried Steak" and "Texas Toast" !

Something's amiss, here.
But on the other hand, bunches of bikers and Kansas frat boys can't be wrong!
BTW, Alan, if Lyn will tolerate it, a side trip by "The Yard" in Wichamata might prove of interest to you.
NM, I forgot about your "bag limit".

Lyn doesn`t suffer from jet lag that much, but me!, it can take a week!, plus you have to get used to everything spinning in the other direction.

ezer....a loaded question there, on recovery time for Alan.
You guys are canny , trying to find his weakness's.
As the big island down under's sole representative, (he carries the weight and expectations of our island nation) a huge amount of pressure and tension can take its toll at this elite level.
Hence, QANTAS, the flying kangaroo pouch (galley), will be carrying an extra slabor two, as Alan continues his "high altitude training" to compete at an international level at the BBQ's, going for "Gold" at the SS 5 olympics.

Due to this delayed Recovery Time, with everything spinning the wrong way:-
1/ He has no hope of going down the 35 to the Circuit of the Americas at (where our down under multi-coloured, Taxi's are racing next year.)
2/ Whilst dazed !, Lyn has planned to go Shopping, big time....
3/ Lyn is driving out to Parker to visit Southfork ranch, and check out the layout...Alan will be telling them, that the dunnies are faulty, and the water is also "spinning" the wrong way.

Anyway, safe journey Lyn and Alan.
We need plenty of pics,

So,you need to avoid the plane facilities (dunnies) while crossing the Equator?

Enquiring mind(lesse)s want to know!
Paul
8CLT, you have a great command of this language, except that no Texan would refer to I-35 as "The 35". That's a Left (behind) Coast aberration!

Come on guys!, I`m trying to focus here!, it will already be a cool reception for us as we beat the US in the womens relay!
I am packing my sports gear bag ( read Esky )!, as we speak and the Bon-voyage committe has now arrived to eat us out of house and home!

Alan, bring that Woman hurdler with you, the one that warms up real artistically before her races...

Safe travels Alan. I just got back in country myself. Just enough time to change undies and head east. Look forward to seeing you there soon. Godspeed!
