Took some friends on a dirt bike ride. It was really hot and we stopped for a break. I asked who wanted to go to the tavern in the small town near my cabin. All were eager and thirsty. They asked: "how far?" I said, we'll it was 4 hrs out here, it'll be 4 hrs back. U should have seen the long faces. I said" Well let's get going: I went over a little hill thru the pine trees into the back parking lot of the Tavern. Smiles all around!

Another time, I rode up a mtn by myself the week before and buried beers in the snow bank. Another long, hot ride....All were tired and thirsty.....I said, wouldn't a beer taste good. I got "booed" all around; until I pulled a six-pack out of the snowbank!!!!!
