On a lighter note

[MichaelG]

I live pretty far out in the country. Out in the woods. Right now I can hear the bells and chimes of an old-fashioned Ice Cream Truck making his rounds up and down our long and winding road. I cannot imagine that this Ice Cream Truck is going to get any business out here, as most of the people on this hill are older...retired...(well, you get the picture)

But, as we can all remember, as kids growing up with a daily or weekly Ice Cream Truck cruising our neighborhoods, it is a quaint sound, a melody of good times gone bye.

I hear that, literally. We had the Good Humor man when I was a kid. We always ran to the truck when we heard his bells, even if we had no money (we usually didn't). He knew it and would give us what he called "the 2 cent special", which was a handful of frost scraped from his freezer and thrown in our face. We loved it. Great guy. Thanks for the memory jog Miles. See you in Franklin.

I heard a story about a guy saying that when he was younger his dad used to tell him that when the ice cream truck was playing music, it meant that it was out of ice cream......Some parents....

The sweet tooth guy cruises the neighborhood on a daily basis in summer. He tries to hit the sugar low period after lunch and dinner. My dog has taken to hearing the musical sounds of "Pop goes the Weasel" and warning of his approach.

GhostRider, that is sooo sad.....that because of that.....I am going to be riding through Boise on way East to the F6B gathering in Franklin, NC., and I am going to find you in Boise, force you onto your bike, and drag you across the country, yelping and hollering all the way, just so that you can attend the F6B gathering.

Haha ok, I'm sure it's going to be an awesome trip but not quite in the stars for me this time even though I'd love to ride that part of the country. I'll have to make it to the west coast version of it (or the Banff version).

I will say one thing though Miles, next week I'm taking a road that you may have never been on. It will be a first for me. It's the road going to Wallowa lake, Oregon from the back side(from the Hells Canyon side). BTW Hells Canyon is the deepest river cut canyon in the US. You have to zoom the map in pretty close just to even see the road and it's all paved. I will post some pics after the trip.

I will politely say..."Been there..Ridden that road".

Hahahahah I should of guessed.

[kjelders]

I have ridden that road as well.

[ghostrider]

Wow!!! I didn't know it was such a popular road!! I thought it was a newly dicovered road by me.

Should be an interesting road though, with the Hell's Canyon overlook and zero traffic.
