My girl graduated with her second degree on Saturday. Proud of her for that. She is starting a new career in the Surgical Tech area.

So we had a busy day Saturday. Sunday was supposed to rain, but we decided to take a short ride and my son joined us.

First started with a walk with the dog.

Then off we went. First stop was near Bad Axe. I was able to fuel the ZX half as much as the Vmax.

Waiting for the Vmax to fuel.

Stopped at "The Bank" for lunch. Its pricey but good. Plates are around $25 each and soup was $8 a bowl. I wasn't super hungry, trying to lose a few lbs myself. So we all got the onion soup which is great, and split a Blackened Chicken Alfredo between the three of us. The waitress was great. She actually put it on three plates and I know she gave us a little more. The more I eat out, the more just two of us split a plate and realize its more than enough food for two usually.

The bread is a sour dough, it was very good. The butter.... or whatever it was.... was not in my opinion.

Total trip was only 225 or so miles round trip. Its a close cool place to go for a quick ride. Average speed was 48 mph, average moving speed was 56 mph. Total riding time was around 4 hours 55 mins I think is what gps said.

Talked to my son again about coming to Thunder..... :ummm:
 
Look's like a great day, cool stuff, like the pics, raw smelt diet might be a new trend, kinda like South Beach er sumtin LOL
 
HA ya that kinda got me for a min too, when you said my girl, but i recognized her from your other pics, LOL
 
Fucking Slayer!!!

Yes sir!

I went to see them play in Grand Rapids at the Orbit room. I got there, watched whoever was the local crap band and then Hatebreed. Then they announce that Slayer isn't going to be the whole band. Paul Bostph broke his wrist ( ankle maybe ) and Dave Lombardo was filling in! Was my birthday also. That was about 17-18 years ago.
 
First time i saw them was 2003 at Harpos in Detroit, at least i think it was 2003, lol. I took a knee to the face in the pit, still got a scar on my lip from it, lol.
 
Harpos LOL, definitely a classy place haha.

This was a super small venue, about 500 people give or take. Maybe someday I ll tell the story in person about my adventure. But I can't put it in writing here.

Dave Lombardo is Slayer... but then again I am pretty old so maybe it just my age showing... great time tho from the sound of it.
