It could have been better........ or worse.....

So, today, we get up in Birmingham and start loading the bikes. Rule number one... do a TCLOCS BEFORE loading up the bikes. Jose, had a flat back tire.... So, rather than being in Monroe LA, we were at the Harley shop in Pelham getting a new tire. God works in works in amazing ways... It wasn't the tire, it was the tube. Evidently, the company that put on the new back tire for Jose, left a tube that had two (not one, but two) patches on it.... It could have blown on the trip, which would have been much, much worse. So, we are now in Meridian, MS. Haven't made it to LA, but hope to go through there tomorrow. Not sure if we will make it to Dallas tomorrow, but the iron butt has begun!!!! Wish us luck. For those that are truly following us (and not our spouses....) don't forget - you owe me backpacks... :-) Moose will be posting pictures later.
