After a few Maintenance issue were completed (as in greasing the trike's rear end, plugging in another power source plug and fixing the highway pegs to a better position.) We were ready & on our way towards Downstream Casino. The bikes roared in unison as we took the back roads and sweeping curves.
We stopped at Stockton Lake for a break where we were tempted by the glistening water. I tried to convince Cousin Robert that we could just jump in the lake. We certainly would dry by the time we reached civilization. We all had our Senior Passports so swimming and day use would be free. Surprise... surprise.... He declined Sooo, back on the motorcycles we went...
With the heat index of 103° I chickened out of riding to the Casino. It was still miles yet by the time we rode into Carthage, MO and I spotted the Lunch Senior Special at their Sirloin Stockade. Air Conditioning and cold drinks were the winning factors in whipping those motorcycles into the parking lot.
We drank, ate and was merry for the rest of the day.
The ride home later after a visit with Toni & Jack was more enjoyable, almost perfect. The day had cooled down a bit, the bikes swished around the curves and all was well in my Kingdom at Paradise Cove. With feet up & more cold drinks, a good movie, we were in comatose mode for the evening.
That's the way I roll these days. 🤣
