A New Do, and Dinner Too!
Thursday, May 10, 2007
Earlier in the week the weatherman was calling for Wednesday and Thursday to be a washout. It did rain on Wednesday, we needed it, so it was okay. By the time today rolled around, the chance of rain was gone.
My first trip was to a new place to get a haircut. It is a place that Nina has been going to for the last few times, and she made the appointment. After lunch and shower, I mounted my VTX 1800, and headed for Washington Street. Surprisingly, the light changed in short time, and off to the east was where I headed. After passing under 465, I turned south on Franklin Road.
It was a warm day, and the sun was beating. First time this year I wore my half helmet, felt good to have more wind in my face. I beared to the left at SR 52, Brookville Road, and headed southeast. First trip was a construction site that had the road down to one lane. After passing that hurdle, I was off and back to speed.
While stopped at a red light, a guy on a blue Harley pulled up next to me. After telling me it was a great day for a ride, he asked if my bike was fast. Fast enough, I answered.
He rode in stagger formation with me until I turned off at the Hair Place.
After the trim, okay it was full cut! I headed back on SR 52, heading northwest. The trip back was just in reverse, and the only thing that happened was that I noticed I was in pursuit of Mr. Reed in his Dodge Pick Up. I pulled up next to him at Post Road, and looked into the cab. He just rolled his head back and laughed.
So I filled the afternoon working around the house, and then mounted up again and headed for the PUD, Parental Unit Dwelling. Was looking for another free dinner from mom and dad. I started out west on Washington Street, and took it to Emerson Avenue. That would take me north, and across I-70, which was slow going and crowded going into to town? At 4:30pm?
Emerson would take me all the way to Kessler Avenue. It winds through town, mostly going east-west. I took it to College Avenue, which leads me north to 106th Street. 106th was backed up to College, and as I sat in traffic, I could feel my cell phone vibrating. I knew it was mom wondering why I was 3 minutes late!
Eventually I could pull into Orchard Park School Drive, and roam the neighborhood to my parent's house. Dinner was Ham and Beans!
After dinner, a crossword puzzle, and some conversation, I headed back out. From their street, I headed south on Westfield Boulevard. Around the round about, and over 465 to 99th Street, taking the back way into Nora Plaza, as I had to make a stop at Wild Oats.
After my brief shopping, I headed back out on 86th Street to Keystone and north to 465. I took 465 around town to 56th Street, as I need to make a stop at Star Financial Bank to make a deposit.
Out of the bank, and south on Post Road to Pendelton Pike. It runs southwest, and to 465. Back on the highway to Washington Street, and back home.
