CUBA, MO TO EMPORIA, KS

Once upon a time today six brave knights us of the round table it was round at dinner last night donned their suits of armor rain gear.

Then mounted their mighty steeds self explanatory and went forth to do battle with the dangerous dragon wind, rain, lightning, trucks and save the damsel in distress meet Susie for lunch.

The brave knights slew the dragon saved the damsel and raised their tankards in salute to their bravery a cold one and a trip to the jacuzzi.
The leader of the knights then finished his day with a skype video call to the damsels husband.

That's how I remember the day, it sounds a little better than road in the rain to KC.

Actually started the day under sunny skies with mild temps. A check of the weather channel prior to leaving Cuba showed a line of severe storms heading our way. Since it was going east and we were going west we hoped to minimize our time in the barrel. North for about an hour then west on 50 and the storms started. Everything the weather channel predicted rain, hail, more rain, and lightning.

We even saw those kind of cloud formations that the guys chasing tornadoes on the Discovery Channel always drive towards. Once in KC had no trouble finding the barbecue joint with Al's GPS and Suzy was there just ahead of us and met us in the parking lot. That also was the end of the rain and we packed our gear away.

We had a good lunch and a good visit, Susie and JB have been friends for almost thiryfive years and it's always good to catch up.

Said our goodbyes and once more west on 50 which runs with I 35 in this area. In for the night, clear skies predicted for tomorrow, total time in the rain today probably less than ninety minutes seemed like more.

PS Rhonda, saw Bruce riding with no hands several times today. Will call if you need to make quick trip to bank with one of those presigned checks.
