Gone 2 weeks

After 2500 miles I'm in Garland at Tori's house. Went thru all of Texas Arkansas Part of Missouri and too much IL farm country going to Dorothy's. She and I went on 2 rides but after riding 1450 moles to get there another ride was not as much fun as I expected. Dorothy is a very good passenger. I got poured on going there but so far only sprinkels getting back here.
Every lake and river is full.
Got over 25 projects done on Tori's house. Finishing 3 more today.
Looking forward to getting home and to be with Linda and her retirement.
I should be over 3200 miles before I get back to El Paso. Bike is running fine and getting 47 mpg, but it still will be over $200 in gas. Trying to hold my speed down to 70 mph. This bike's windshield is not as good as on my oldest bike, too much wind.
Highest gas was $3.35 in Kermit TX but IL and MO went up to $3.15 No real problems but a few stupid drivers not wanting to respect motorcycles.
WES and KIM thanks for coming to Dorothy's. Dorothy and Craig thank you for your hospitality. Tori took me to Papadauix's for dinner last night, Cajun food.
Sorry no picture is posting

Good to hear you made it back to Texas in one piece.
We are glad you made it all the way up to Illinois, it was the least we could do to make it the rest of the way.
